SurveyMonkey vs Zoho Survey

SurveyMonkey

• Customer, employee and market research surveys that need statistical analysis
• Teams that share templates, themes and roles across several survey creators
• One-off projects, using the month-to-month Standard plan

Zoho Survey

• Teams that already use Zoho CRM, Zoho Sheet or other Zoho apps
• Field surveys on tablets where there is no connection
• Single users who want unlimited responses on an annual plan

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.

Zoho Survey

• The free plan allows 10 questions and 100 responses per survey, with no skip logic, logo or XLS and CSV export.
• Free, Basic, Plus and Pro each include 1 user; only Enterprise has 3 users, user management and audit logs.
• Basic is sold on annual billing only, and monthly billing limits responses per survey to between 3,000 and 7,000 a month.
• Webhooks, white labeling and the Google Sheets, Zapier, Zoho CRM and Tableau integrations start at Pro.
