SurveyMonkey vs Google Forms Comparison

There was a free version, people with the link could take the survey on their own devices

It costed money for the free version, it’s not as good as google forms

The graph reports after the survey are very good. It allows you to get a quick view of the data without taking too much time to dive in deeper.

The free version is not really useful because it is so limited. However, it is a good feature in that you can test it out to see if you like it.

Using this service gets feedback quickly with reliable links. It is super easy to set up and is user friendly. It provides insightful data. I like the benchmarks it gives.

I don’t see major cons, but there are some other services that are comparable like Google forms. I believe Google forms has more rules though.

If needing quick feedback and have the contacts to send it to, then survey monkey provides for an efficient way to do so. It is relatively easy to use and then compare the data.

Compared to other services such as [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] and google forms, there lacks a bit of functionality possibilities; such as the personalisation from landbot and the exporting in google forms.

Advanced features that Google Forms does not offer. Trustworthy interface for external surveys. Company has been doing this for around 10 years.

They should offer a stripped down cheap/free version of a plan in order to lure the Google Forms crowd. Even if those customers don't pay today, they may have a need for the more advanced features down the road and they'll already be familiar with the product and have an account.

It is easy to use and consistently functions as it is supposed to. It is easy for interns to quickly learn and help with

It does not have as many features as the google form that we also use

The Pros are it’s very easy to use. Been around for years. Very reputable app.

The surveys don’t look that nice imo. They could use more mobile friendly styles.

The integration the application has wtih Google sheets, office Reports, Trello, hubspot and google forms.

Not sure but some of their higher paid packages are really high in prices and not affordable, thousands of dollars...

This company has been around for a very long time and has provided consistently reliable forms for thousands of websites. I have been using their services for many years and can say they are one of the best at what they do. You can create polls, forms and quizzes with ease.

This market has steadily become more and more saturated by larger more capable companies, especially Google Forms. Although SurveyMonkey has been around for a long time and have an excellent reputation, I fear for the long-term viability of this company.

SurveyMonkey makes distributing and analyzing surveys easy and fast. If you have ever used Google Forms and wanted more features, SurveyMonkey is for you. It allows for a variety of different types of questions and breaks down results in an easy-to-digest way. SurveyMonkey makes it incredibly simple to break down results and make measured decisions from there.

While mostly easy-to-use, some of the higher-level functions are not as intuitive. I would recommend going through their basic training or Googling how to do advanced functions to get the best results from SurveyMonkey.

SurveyMonkey makes it very easy to set up surveys to send out or use yourself!

Would like to see some more features that can be used when sending out a survey like google forms

The graphical interface of the forms are sleek and compelling. Also, offers more options than Google forms.

Doesnt have any option to authenticate user's identity and ensure only single entries per user can be received.

I really needed a straightforward survey tool, and having been in the answering end of such questionnaires, SurveyMonkey seemed like a good choice and it was!

I had to redo the whole thing but that may have been a connection problem on my end, or something like that.

For simple surveys, this is a great product that is free and offers a lot of functionality without trying too hard to upsell you or limit the functionality

Not many options to retroactively edit or adjust the survey after it has been launched (like you can with Google Forms)

Survey Monkey is easy to use. The format is easy and it is easy to gather responses. We would still be using it if Google Forms wasn't free for educational entities.

I didn't dislike anything about it, other than it cost more than the free price tag we are paying for Google Forms.

what i like about surveymonkey is that it's very easy to set up and distribute survey forms to the public

what i don't like about surveymonkey is that it's not too customizable, unlike google forms, which is why i use it more

I like that it is very easy to use and very straight forward unlike other ones such as google forms.

I don’t really have anything bad to say about it I think surveymonkey is a great brand!!! I use it for various things.

As easy as 1, 2, 3 to both set up and build a survey in minutes. Takes no tech knowledge to get your head around this online software and has some cool features.

When you go into the more advanced features it can get a little confusing to understand what is going on. The UX needs work to make it more intuitive.

I like survey monkey because it makes it easy to collect data. However in more recent years that I’ve probably platforms that do this better. Still it is easy to use and does what it needs to.

They are probably better software’s for this now. Google forms as one of them. It still is a good software and I recommend it.

SurveyMonkey has been around for a long time and established itself as an industry standard for DIY services. There's a reason for that - it's super easy to use, fully featured (although a lot of features are paid-only), and they also have other lesser-known services available, like sourcing respondents for your survey.

The free version is limited. If you only have basic survey needs, then a free option like Google Forms will be a better fit.

The best thing about survey monkey is having multiple surveys running at once for different audiences, be it an exit survey, engagement focus group etc. and getting data analysis for all of them collectively.

Customisation could be more creative however this isn't too important.

I Like it's User-friendly UI and ease of Filling. See Surveys are Usually boring for users. Answering without any reward so survey monkey's does not let user feel bor . There are animation and Cool design

The complexity of this Software is only thing I didn't like . You could have made it simpler like Google Forms with lesser Options to choose.

Great way to collect and create surveys from multiple people. There are a few great features that set it apart from Google Forms

Not being part of the larger G-Suite it's another software that needs to be taken care of. Some more premium features cost money

The analysis tools are great and provide a clear snapshot of results on the relatively straight-forward surveys we create.

I'm not a big fan of the branding, but that's a personal thing. I think the price point is quite high for what the product really offers. It's kind of a simple tool really and there are other options.

It's easy to use, easy to customize with their variety of question templates and overall easy to understand on the analytic side of things.

I can't remember if there was a max of questions on the free version similar to google forms. I have never had any difficulties with survey monkey.

- super easy to use, can be used for survey, polls, registration - perfect for doing simple survey and polls, good for small business or classrooms - as made by Google, it does integrate with other Google products, we can export the results into Google Spreadsheets and then share with other Google users. Also, we can use Google notification for each new response.

- functionality is similar to the free version of SurveyMonkey but definitely not as good compare with the Paid version of SurveyMonkey. - survey answer has to be chosen from pre-formatted options. It is good for simply surveys but may have an issue for fancy one

I love this product. Its useful for a variety of purposes and it gets used in the company on a regular day basis. Its really easy to use and you can create a survey extremely fast. It has a lot of flexibility and on top of that its free.

No complains. Its free and it works. I strongly recommend it. It doesnt have any differentation to its main competitor, Surveymonkey.

Simple, easy-to-use, nice design, useful functionalities and templates, response views (by summary, question, or individual person who answered), can export into Sheets

There doesn't seem to be conditional formatting or any of the more sophisticated functionality you get with tools like JotForm or SurveyMonkey.
