Surveymonkey Alternative: Why Choose Formplus

Survey Monkey

SurveyMonkey is an excellent tool for opinion sampling and comprehensive insights. With its robust features, you can create and administer polls, surveys, and quizzes to know how your target audience feels about a specific issue. But that’s where it ends.

However, data collection doesn't start and end with opinion sampling. For example, you might want to create a consent form to help you document formal authorization from parents and guardians. With SurveyMonkey, this can be nearly impossible to accomplish.

Formplus supports more use cases than SurveyMonkey. You can create different types of forms for various purposes. Want to collect payments for your online store? You can build an order form with Formplus! Need formal authorization from parents? Formplus allows you to create different consent forms too!

Whether it’s surveys, quizzes, registration forms, timesheets, and payment processing documents, there’s so much you can do with Formplus. In the form builder, you have access to more than 30 fields plus exciting features to help you build powerful forms for your unique data collection needs.

Survey Monkey

You cannot collect digital signatures directly in SurveyMonkey.

If you want respondents to submit their e-signatures, you need to set up Zapier’s Sign Now integration. Although this is an automated process, it can affect the overall experience when users complete your survey and even increase survey dropout rates.

Do you want to receive digital signatures in any type of form? All you have to do is add the e-signature field to your form in our drag-and-drop builder. Whether it is authorization forms or reports, Formplus allows respondents to submit their e-signatures as they fill the forms directly. There’s no need to send out new links for signature submission!

All received signatures are saved to your preferred cloud storage as image files, and you have access to them whenever you want.

Survey Monkey

You’d find over 100 templates on SurveyMonkey. These templates cut across different industries and use cases, and they give you a headstart when building a new questionnaire.

However, SurveyMonkey’s templates have basic and repeated designs, so you must tweak them to suit your unique aesthetic needs.

Also, you’ll need to have a paid plan to edit questions in the templates.

Formplus has a comprehensive library with over 1000 beautiful templates categorized by industry. You’d find templates for surveys and quizzes, as well as reports, consent forms, datasheets, and many others.

Formplus templates come in various designs, and this shows you how much you can do with the platform, customization-wise. They also contain real questions relevant to specific use cases—no random placeholders.

This means you can use them right away! If you’d like to tweak a template, you can add it to the form builder with the click of a button and use the various customization options to change its look and feel.

Survey Monkey

When it comes to opinion gathering, social media can be a game-changer. SurveyMonkey has a social media collector feature you can use to directly share your surveys, polls, and questionnaires with your Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn communities.

You can also create captions and descriptions for your survey before posting them on your social media channels. Unlike Formplus, SurveyMonkey doesn’t generate visually appealing image cards for social media sharing.

Like SurveyMonkey, Formplus supports direct social media sharing for all forms, surveys, and questionnaires, which means you can collect responses from your social media network. When creating descriptions for your posts, you can generate captivating social image cards to improve engagements and responses.

While SurveyMonkey only supports a Facebook button for third-party sharing, Formplus allows you to add Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn icons to your forms. This means people can share your survey with more people across different platforms, and you can gather more responses. You can also select the social icons you want respondents to see at the bottom of your form.
