Frequently asked questions

Didn't find your answer? Write to team@surveyninja.io or use the contact page, and we'll help you move your surveys.

Is SurveyNinja cheaper than SurveyMonkey?

Yes, at every volume we compared. 1,000 responses a month cost $10.50/mo on SurveyNinja Basic and $39/mo on SurveyMonkey Advantage; 10,000 cost $48.30/mo and $526/mo (Team Premier, at least 3 users). Prices with yearly billing, checked on October 15, 2026. SurveyMonkey also charges $0.15 for every response over the limit.

Can I move my SurveyMonkey surveys to SurveyNinja?

Rebuild the survey from a template or with the AI generator, then upload past responses from a CSV or Excel file exported from SurveyMonkey. File uploads work on paid plans, up to 10,000 rows per file, and don't count toward your monthly limit. Our team will help you move your surveys and set up the logic: send us an export or a link.

Is there a free plan like SurveyMonkey Basic?

Yes. SurveyNinja's Free plan includes 100 responses a month and 50 surveys of up to 30 questions, with logic, quotas, NPS, quizzes and exports to CSV, Excel and SPSS. SurveyMonkey's free Basic plan allows 10 questions per survey and shows only a limited number of responses per survey (25 in its pricing data, October 15, 2026).

Is there a free trial?

Yes. After sign-up you get 14 days of Premium with every feature, no card required. SurveyMonkey has no trial: you can try paid features while building, but sending the survey needs a paid plan.

What does SurveyMonkey have that SurveyNinja doesn't?

Crosstabs and benchmarks, a respondent panel, payments in surveys, multilingual surveys and HIPAA on Enterprise. SurveyNinja gives you a far lower price per response, research and UX tools on lower plans, micro surveys on your website and an AI report that reads Spanish and Portuguese answers too.

Can I run click tests and A/B tests?

Yes. Click tests with heatmaps, area selection on images and pairwise comparison are on Basic and higher; A/B tests of question wording are on every plan. SurveyMonkey's Click Map shows click points without a heatmap and starts on Premier Annual; its A/B tests start on Advantage Annual.

Does the AI analysis work in Spanish and Portuguese?

Yes. The AI report on Premium finds themes, sentiment and quotes in English, Spanish and Portuguese surveys. SurveyMonkey's AI analysis and thematic analysis work on English surveys only.

Is SurveyNinja available in Spanish and Portuguese?

Yes. The website, the help center and the survey screens your respondents see are available in English, Spanish and Portuguese.
