SurveyMonkey pricing, price hikes and cheaper alternatives

SurveyMonkey (surveymonkey.com) is a form and survey tool. Per-seat monthly prices for teams (3-user minimum, billed annually, plus $0.15 per extra response) and flat monthly prices for individuals, with response caps that vary by plan.. Free plan: Basic plan is free for one user, capped at 10 to 40 responses per survey (sources disagree)..

What SurveyMonkey costs

  • 1 user, 1k responses: $139/mo (Individual Premier at $139/mo billed annually; no monthly rate found, so the annual per-month rate is used. Standard ($99/mo monthly, 1,000 responses/mo, skip logic) is cheaper, but no source confirms branding removal on it, and Survicate says removal sits behind Premier, the top individual tier.)
  • 5 users, 5k responses: $460/mo (Team Premier at $92/user/mo billed annually x 5 seats = $460/mo; its 100,000 responses/yr covers 5,000/mo (60,000/yr). Team Advantage (5 x $30 = $150/mo, plus about $125/mo overage for the 10,000 responses/yr above its 50,000 cap at $0.15) is excluded because it has no white-label, so branding cannot be removed.)
  • 10k responses: $139/mo (Individual Premier at $139/mo billed annually; a third-party comparison says Premier has unlimited responses, so one plan covers 10,000/mo across 10 forms. Team plans need 3 seats, so they do not apply to one user.)

Plan compared: Individual Premier plan, billed annually at $139/mo. Prices are USD per month on monthly billing (annual-only plans divided by 12). The headline is one user collecting 1,000 responses a month across 10 forms, with conditional logic and the builder's removable branding switched off; we also price a 5-person team at 5,000 responses a month and a single account at 10,000 responses a month.

Pricing page: surveymonkey.com/pricing. Prices last checked Oct 16, 2026. Team figures come from SurveyMonkey's official pricing page (annual-billed rates, no monthly team rate shown), and the 2024 hikes come from PricingSaaS's diff, which gives no exact date. Individual plans come only from third-party listings (PricingSaaS, CostBench, Hackceleration, Survicate) that disagree on Advantage ($39 vs $46) and Standard's billing options, so solo and responses10k are medium confidence.
