Which one is for you

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

Pick Tripetto if

  • Fits if you run one WordPress site and want forms that ask one question at a time
  • Works for developers who want to build forms into their own app

Look elsewhere if

  • Skip it if you want the cloud studio free, as new users can't open a free account
  • Pricey if you go past WordPress, since the studio is €999 a year and the SDK €325 a month and up
  • Tight if you need notifications or connections on the free plugin, because they are Pro
  • Watch out: Pro refunds last 14 days and do not cover automatic annual renewals

Value for money
DThe cheapest yearly plan is $39 a month, and the parts people come for sit far above this category's $24 middle: crosstabs, advanced logic and multilingual surveys on Premier at $139. Month-to-month means Standard at $149, and extra responses are $0.15 each.
BThe WordPress Pro plugin is $99 a year for one site, about $8.25 a month. The studio at €999 a year and SDK at €325 a month sit far above that.
Free plan and trial
CBasic is free with unlimited surveys and Build with AI, but 10 questions per survey is a wall you'll meet at once, and only some of your responses are viewable. How many? SurveyMonkey only says after you sign up.
BThe free WordPress plugin for 1 site has unlimited forms, questions and responses with all logic and layouts. Notifications, connections and tracking need Pro.
Features
BIt covers the whole survey job, analysis included: statistical significance, multi-survey analysis, crosstabs and AI that groups open answers into themes, with shared brand assets and roles for teams. Advanced logic and multilingual surveys are Premier-only.
CStoryboard builder, three layouts and logic cover the basics. Notifications, connections and tracking are Pro, and the cloud studio is paid only.

Forms are laid out like flowcharts on a storyboard, so branches and conversational paths can be seen and rearranged without code.
Three form layouts
The same form can be shown as an autoscroll sequence of single questions, as a chat, or as a classic page of fields.
Logic and calculations
Branch, jump and pipe logic are included on every version. Pro adds a calculator, custom variables, hidden fields and a send-email action.
Notifications and connections
Pro sends email and Slack notifications and connects to Make, Zapier, Pabbly Connect and custom webhooks.
Activity tracking
Pro can report form activity to Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel and custom tracking codes.

How this page was made

  • The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
  • The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
  • Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
  • The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
