How to switch from SurveyMonkey

Create a free account

Sign up in a minute, no card needed. You start with 14 days of Premium.
Start free
Rebuild the survey

Describe it to the AI generator or start from a template, then add logic and quotas from Basic. SurveyMonkey has no survey file another tool can import, so this step replaces it.
Bring your responses

Export responses from SurveyMonkey as CSV or Excel (on its paid plans), upload the file to your survey and check how columns match questions. Map the date column to keep the original dates.
Swap the link

Publish the survey and replace the old link in emails, on your site and in QR codes.

What comes with you

SurveyMonkey → SurveyNinja

Your survey, drafted by AI or from a template
Every response from the CSV or Excel export
Original dates and response IDs
Up to 10,000 responses per file

Switch without the stress

Your old survey keeps running

Nothing changes in your old tool until you swap the link, so you can run both side by side.

Imported responses are on us

Responses you bring over don't count toward your monthly limit, so bringing your history doesn't eat into your plan.

Your dates stay right

Map the date column of an export and old responses keep their original dates, so period filters in reports cover them too.

Paying for SurveyMonkey? Your first month of Premium is on us

Edit surveys on your phone or your laptop

The whole builder works on a phone: questions, logic, design, publishing and responses. Fix a question on the way to a meeting, check new answers from the couch and finish the survey on your laptop.

Every section and setting fits a small screen
Logic, design and publishing, not a cut-down view
Pick up on your laptop right where you left off

Questions about switching

Can I import a SurveyMonkey survey directly?

SurveyMonkey doesn't export surveys in a format other tools can read. Describe the survey to the AI generator or start from a template, and if you have many surveys or complex logic, write to us and we'll help you move them.

How do I move my SurveyMonkey responses?

Export them from SurveyMonkey as CSV or Excel on one of its paid plans, upload the file to your SurveyNinja survey on a paid plan and match the columns to questions. Up to 10,000 responses per file, and they don't count toward your monthly limit.

Will my response dates be kept?

Yes. Map the date column of the export to the Date field, and every response keeps its original date, so period filters in reports cover old data too.

I pay for SurveyMonkey. Is there an offer?

Yes. Send us a screenshot of your latest SurveyMonkey bill and we'll switch on Premium for a month free, response upload included.
