Brands that outgrew our competitors
"The built-in AI and smart importing from excel or other sources make the experience far more superior than any other survey application we have used. There are far more survey options available in SurveyMonkey than there are in any other application we have used. Looking at the question type options you will easily see 3 to 4 times more questions available in Microsoft Forms or Google Forms."
Ranj B., Automotive Administrator
"SurveyMonkey is versatile enough that it can also be used as a general web forms application, gathering a large variety of customizable data types. Customer support is usually very helpful in figuring out how complex logical arrangements of question blocks are. Pricing is very good for customers who may need more than the basic offerings of tools such as Google Forms and Microsoft Forms."
G2 Verified User, Nonprofit organizations
"We had branching logic and a variety of different question formats we were looking to implement that Forms did not support."
