SurveyMonkey Alternative

The modern alternative
to SurveyMonkey.

Surveys without the price hikes, auto-renew traps, or feature paywalls — plus sweepstakes, quizzes, email, and SMS on the same platform. $99/month, every feature included.

TL;DR
Updated April 2026

Choose SurveyMonkey if you need its 200+ integrations or are already committed to their enterprise suite. Choose Revup if you want every survey feature at one price, sweepstakes-incentivized survey completion, and the ability to run forms, quizzes, email, and SMS on the same platform — instead of paying for a survey tool that's raised prices three times in two years.

Why marketers are leaving SurveyMonkey

SurveyMonkey built the category. But in 2024-2025 they tripled pricing on their most common plan, and reviewers have been vocal.

No surprise price hikes

Revup's pricing has been flat since launch. SurveyMonkey Standard went from $39 to $99/mo in under 18 months — with auto-renew that doesn't refund.

All features, every tier

Multi-language, API, advanced logic, A/B testing — all included from the $99 Launch tier. SurveyMonkey gates most of these behind $119+ Premier.

Incentivize completion with prizes

Attach a sweepstakes or instant-win to any survey — compliance, winner selection, and notifications handled. Completion rates jump. SurveyMonkey can't do this.

Email & SMS included

Follow up with respondents, send reminders, and notify winners — natively. No Mailchimp, no Klaviyo, no Zapier glue.

One customer, one profile

Every survey response enriches the same unified profile as form submits, quiz answers, and sweepstakes entries. SurveyMonkey data is per-survey and siloed.

Beyond surveys

Forms, quizzes, sweepstakes, referral programs — all native. SurveyMonkey is survey-only. If you do anything else, you're stacking another tool.

Honest take

When SurveyMonkey is the better pick

SurveyMonkey isn't dead weight. They still lead when:

  • You need their 200+ integrations, audience panel, or SurveyMonkey Enterprise's dedicated industry templates.
  • You already have org-wide deployment, procurement, and compliance locked in and don't want to re-sign.
  • Your survey program is purely research — no promotional tie-ins, no lead capture, no downstream marketing.

If that's you, SurveyMonkey still works. If you want predictable pricing and the rest of the marketing stack on the same platform, Revup is the move.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions from teams switching off SurveyMonkey.

SurveyMonkey raised its Standard plan from $39 to $99 per month in 2024-2025 and auto-renews subscriptions without pro-rated refunds. Reviewers on G2 and Capterra flag aggressive upsell prompts, features paywalled to Premier ($119/mo), and email-only support on most tiers. Revup starts at $99/mo with every survey feature included, no auto-renew trap, and sweepstakes/quizzes on the same platform.

At the same price point ($99-$199/mo), Revup includes surveys, forms, sweepstakes, quizzes, email, SMS, and Revup Intelligence — SurveyMonkey Standard/Premier only includes the survey product.

Yes. Revup includes all standard survey mechanics — NPS scales, CSAT ratings, multi-page logic, skip logic, answer piping, calculations, and 40+ field types — without gating advanced logic to the top tier.

Yes, and this is a meaningful edge. Attach a sweepstakes or instant-win prize to any survey completion — compliance, winner selection, and email/SMS notifications all handled natively. SurveyMonkey has no promotional mechanics.

Yes. Export your SurveyMonkey responses as CSV and import them into Revup's contact CRM. Rebuilding a typical SurveyMonkey survey inside Revup usually takes under 20 minutes.
