How we grade them
| 3.2GPASurveyMonkeyVery good | 3.0GPATypeformVery good | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CAdvantage is $39 a month billed annually ($468) for one user, and Standard, the only month-to-month plan, is $149. That's above what a typical form tool costs, and crosstabs, advanced logic and white label sit on Premier at $139 a month. Go over your response allowance and it's $0.15 per extra response. | CBasic is $28 a month billed yearly, $39 monthly, which is about the going rate. But it buys 100 responses a month and 1 user. For 1,000 responses and no Typeform branding you need Plus at $56. That's thin next to rivals that don't count responses at all. |
| Free plan and trial | BBasic is free, with unlimited surveys and Build with AI. But it's 10 questions per survey, and you can only view a limited number of responses. How many? SurveyMonkey shows that only after you sign up. | BThe free plan has unlimited typeforms, logic and embedding, but it collects just 10 responses a month across all your forms. That's a demo more than a plan. The only trial is 14 days of Growth Flow, and that one wants a credit card. |
| Features | AAI drafts a survey from a prompt, skip logic routes people through it, and the analysis is the strong part: statistical significance, multi-survey analysis, crosstabs and AI that groups open answers into themes. Teams share brand assets and set roles. Advanced logic and multilingual surveys wait for Premier. | ABranching, variables, scores and price calculations decide what each person sees. Paid plans add video questions and answers, Stripe payments, signatures and Calendly booking. Question drop-off rates start on Business. |
| Ease of use | B4.57 from about 2,800 App Store ratings, a hair short of an A. Describe what the survey is for and Build with AI hands you a draft to edit. | BA web app with no App Store rating on record, so a B is as high as we go. You can describe a form to the AI chatbot and it builds a draft. |
| Platforms and integrations | AWeb, plus free iPhone and Android apps that create, send and analyse surveys. It connects to Slack, HubSpot, Mailchimp, Microsoft Teams and Zapier. Salesforce, Power BI and Tableau are Enterprise only. | BWeb only, no phone apps. It connects to Zapier, Google Sheets, HubSpot, Slack, Mailchimp, Airtable and Calendly, and Basic includes webhooks and integrations. |
| Best for | surveys where the analysis matters as much as the asking | polished, branded forms and quizzes |
