Capture and act on feedback
Run CSAT, NPS, and post-purchase surveys with templates, then analyze trends and share reports across the business.
Popular online survey and form builder for collecting feedback, running market research, and turning responses into actionable insight.
A robust, methodology-strong survey platform with broad capabilities and quick start, but the affiliate-only deal limits savings and annual billing is typical.

Pricing tiers from $0 to $99/month; EDITORIAL SUMMARY positions it as a standard, recognised platform with pricing comparable to peers like Typeform, and notes Qualtrics is 3-5x the price, indicating it is at the category norm.
EDITORIAL SUMMARY details broad features: deep template library, research-grade logic/randomization/quota, analysis with filters/comparison/significance testing, Audience paid panel, distribution via link/email/embed/SDK/SMS. It is noted for brand trust and methodology, suitable for board-meeting scrutiny, though feels older than newer entrants.

EDITORIAL SUMMARY calls it 'the world's most popular survey platform' and notes brand familiarity and credible methodology for board meetings; part of Momentive; LIVE SITE EVIDENCE shows detailed privacy/cookie compliance. No uptime or review count data, but strong reputation signals.
Pricing tiers include a free plan; EDITORIAL SUMMARY notes 'Annual billing is heavily discounted versus monthly,' implying standard terms with annual lock-in incentive; no specific evidence on cancellation or data export ease, so scored as standard.
SurveyMonkey is a veteran online survey platform used by individuals, businesses, and researchers to create surveys and forms, collect responses, and analyze the results. You build a survey from scratch or from one of hundreds of expert-designed templates, distribute it via link, email, embed, or social, and then review responses through built-in charts, filters, and exports. It is one of the most recognized survey brands and is operated under the SurveyMonkey/Momentive umbrella.
Its strengths are familiarity and breadth. The editor is approachable, the template library is extensive across customer feedback, employee engagement, market research, and event registration, and the analysis tools — filtering, cross-tabs, sentiment, and reporting — go beyond bare-bones form tools. For market research specifically, SurveyMonkey Audience lets you buy access to a respondent panel. The main trade-offs are a deliberately limited free plan and team pricing that requires annual commitments with a minimum number of seats.
Drag-and-drop editor with many question types, logic, and branching to build surveys quickly.
Hundreds of expert-written templates for CX, employee, market research, and event surveys.
Advanced logic, question and answer piping, and randomization for tailored respondent paths.
Filters, cross-tabs, sentiment analysis, and shareable reports with PDF and data exports.
Buy responses from a managed respondent panel for market research at scale (sold separately).
Connect to Slack, Salesforce, HubSpot, Teams, and more to route responses into your stack.
SurveyMonkey keeps a free plan, but it is tightly limited — a small cap on questions per survey and a low monthly response limit — so it suits only quick, casual surveys. Individual paid plans start around $39/mo and run up to roughly $119/mo for the top individual tier, unlocking more responses, logic, and exports. Team plans (Advantage and Premier) are billed annually with a multi-user minimum, so the real entry cost is higher than the headline per-seat figure. Extra responses and Audience panel purchases are billed on top. Confirm current limits and pricing at signup.
| Tool | Best for | Pricing | Standout |
|---|---|---|---|
| SurveyMonkey | Research & team feedback | Free; paid from ~$39/mo | Templates + Audience panel |
| Typeform | Conversational, branded forms | Free; paid from ~$25/mo | Engaging one-question-at-a-time UX |
| Google Forms | Quick free surveys | Free with Google account | Zero cost, simple, Sheets-native |
SurveyMonkey is a dependable, approachable choice with strong templates, solid analytics, and a market-research panel that most rivals lack — for teams running ongoing feedback and research programs it earns its keep. The reservations are price and the free plan: casual users will hit the free limits fast, and team buyers face annual, multi-seat commitments. Compare it against Typeform for branded forms and Google Forms for free basics before committing, which is why we rate it Wait.

The free option is now so limited as to be useless. But pricing is unclear and frankly, overpriced. I want to do a single survey for a charity, expecting a couple of hundred… Read full review →
