SurveyJS vs SurveyLegend (2026): which should you pick?

Pick SurveyJS if

• Fits if you are a developer who wants forms inside your own product and your data on your own servers
• Works for teams that can pay once per developer and renew updates yearly

Look elsewhere if

• Not for you if you want a ready-made form page to send out, as there isn't one
• Skip it if nobody on your team writes code
• Pricey if you need the builder: $559 per developer, and updates after the first 12 months cost $229 a year
• Watch out: the dashboard and PDF generator need the $1,019 plan
• Watch out: licences are per developer, and the top plan is sold through sales

Pick SurveyLegend if

• Fits if you run a few small surveys or polls
• Works for solo users who can do without exports

Look elsewhere if

• Tight if you stay free, as there is no response export and only 1 logic rule per survey
• Skip it if you need team seats, as every plan includes one user
• Watch out: white label, API access and phone support are Legendary only, $65 a month
• Watch out: prices exclude VAT

SurveyJS

• This is a developer toolkit, not a hosted form service: there is no ready-made form-sharing site, so someone has to build and host the app around it.
• The Survey Creator, Dashboard and PDF Generator are paid; the free Essential plan covers only the Form Library.
• Licenses are per developer, with a volume discount of up to 35% when buying 2 or more of the same product, and renewals are for updates and support only.
• A 90-day money-back guarantee applies to developer licenses, which are perpetual.

SurveyLegend

• Every plan includes 1 user; the pricing page lists no team seats.
• The free plan cannot export responses and caps logic at 1 rule per survey.
• White label, API access and phone support are limited to the Legendary plan.
• Prices exclude VAT, according to the pricing page.
