What we found — independently

Researched by AIBM, not supplied by the vendor. The vendor has not been involved in this page at all.

Our pricing check · 2026Free is nearly useless (10 questions, 25 responses); individual paid ~$39/mo (annual) or $99/mo monthly; team plans ~$30–92/user/mo — plus $0.15 per response over your cap (2026).
What will cost you money if you skim itThe free tier is a teaser, response caps trigger $0.15-per-response overages that become a hidden cost on big studies, branding and customisation are limited, and a lot of the good analytics and logic sit behind higher tiers.

Genuinely good for

teams that need research-grade survey logic (skip logic, randomisation, quotas) with compliance (HIPAA, GDPR, SOC 2) and 200+ integrations

Skip it if

you just need a simple form (Google Forms is free) or you're cost-sensitive with high response volumes — the overage fees add up

Flags are derived from that text and each one carries the sentence it came from, so you can judge it yourself. Prices move — always check the vendor’s live pricing page before you buy.

Work at SurveyMonkey? This page is yours the moment you claim it.

Write your own description and it appears at the top of this page, in your words, free — no fee during beta and no strings. What does not change: our research stays exactly where it is, underneath, and you cannot edit it. That is the point of the page. Two honest caveats before you bother: our audience is still modest and growing, and the outbound link is nofollow ugc, so this is not an SEO play.

We have pre-filled the name, site and category we already have on file, so the only thing left to write is the description. A claimed page also drops the noindex we keep on research-only pages.
