eSurveysPro vs SurveyMonkey (2026): which should you pick?

Pick eSurveysPro if

• Fits if you want a survey with no response cap and no cost
• Works for small polls that go out by email

Look elsewhere if

• Tight if you invite by email: 1,000, 2,000 or 5,000 a month depending on the plan
• Watch out: removing branding, changing the look and filtering reports need Premium at $200 a year
• Not for you if you need hidden fields, several users or multi-language surveys, all Corporate at $400 a year
• Too light for anything that must connect to other software, as no integrations are listed

Pick SurveyMonkey if

• Fits if you run customer, employee or market research and need statistics on the answers
• Works for a one-off project on the month-to-month Standard plan, at $149 for the month

Look elsewhere if

• Pricey if you only need a simple form, at $39 a month billed annually ($468) for the cheapest yearly plan
• Pricey if you want crosstabs, advanced logic or multilingual surveys, since all wait for Premier at $139 a month
• Tight if you stay free: 10 questions per survey, and the number of viewable responses is only shown after sign-up
• Watch out: paid plans cap responses (1,000 a month on Standard, 15,000 a year on Advantage) and charge $0.15 for each extra
• Skip it if you're a team of two, as Team plans need 3 users, and Salesforce, Power BI, Tableau and SSO need Enterprise at 5 or more

eSurveysPro

• Email invitations are capped at 1,000, 2,000 or 5,000 a month depending on the plan.
• Branding removal, look and feel and report filtering need Premium or higher.
• Multiple users, multi-language surveys and hidden fields are Corporate features.
• The pricing page lists no integrations or mobile apps.

SurveyMonkey

• The free Basic plan allows 10 questions per survey and shows only a limited number of responses per survey.
• Standard Monthly is the only plan billed month to month; the Advantage, Premier and Team plans are billed annually.
• Team plans need at least 3 users. SSO and the Salesforce, Marketo, Power BI and Tableau integrations are Enterprise-only, and Enterprise needs 5 or more users and a demo.
• Paid plans cap responses (1,000 a month on Standard, 15,000 a year on Advantage) and charge $0.15 per extra response.
