SurveyMonkey vs. SurveySparrow

SurveyMonkey is best suited for you if you find that you are creating multiple survey regularly. It offers a variety of questions and options and is a well-rounded surveying tool. It is not best if you do not create surveys often, typically use the same survey, or looking for software to create quizzes or assessments. Also, if you are easily overwhelmed by too many options, this may not be the tool for you.

Well getting surveys from clients is a hectic job (as a user we all ignore surveys all the time ) SurveySparrow comes to the rescue and provides links to forward your survey on WhatsApp, email, and so many options. You can create a copy of the survey which you created and that is very time efficient. Suppose you have 3 clients and you give them the same service you can add a variable that will simply change the name of the client and the rest of the survey stays the same no need to create a different survey, mega time saver.

• SurveyMonkey templates have made it very user-friendly. It is very efficient to create a survey.
• I love that they have multiple ways to answer questions. For example, short answer, paragraph, and radio buttons to name a few.
• The surveys are very easy to share. You can import a large list of email addresses or free type just a few.
• I like that you can test the survey before sending it out live. I send it to myself to verify how it will look and feel to the end-user.

• Creating and sending surveys is very easy and intuitive, no instructions needed. The interface is clean and inviting.
• The mobile-first interface greatly increases response rates form my experience. Filling out a survey is like text messaging on your phone.
• Surveys are more conversational in tone rather than an answer to the question style of the survey most other companies offer.
• The feature set is not as robust as some other survey software but its simplicity makes it easy to use all around.
• Customer support is very responsive.

• Recognizing that there are more limitations when it comes to a mobile interface vs. a desktop interface, I would love to see more profound levels of programming functionality on the mobile side.
• It would be helpful to have better access to greater levels of third-party results analysis, particularly as it relates to open-ended questions and answers.
• As an admin, it would be very cool if SurveyMonkey were able to use AI to match the survey we're building (questions, topics, target respondents, etc.) to existing results that might negate the need to ask certain questions in our surveys.

Compared to other competitors in the market (including a few I've used internally), if you're looking for a survey application, this one does the job and it's quite inexpensive too. Considering the fact that it comes with a handy mobile application too (on iOS and Android), you also get flexibility thrown in the deal too.

It does everything a survey software should do, and it does it very well. I can't speak for how well it would work for a business that was surveying tens of thousands of people - but for a small business of 50 employees with a couple of thousand clients, it does everything it needs to do.

User-friendly data is easy to analyze with simple tools. The customer service team is also very helpful, easy to create the survey in less than 5 minutes, engage with your clients on all possible platforms.

still to many limitations for more complex surveys --skips, filtered questions, etc.

I've never had to contact the SurveyMonkey customer care team directly, but they have a pretty good library of help articles on their website. Everything from designing and executing your survey to account and billing questions. I never had a need for further support from Survey Monkey.

The support team is just a call away and also provides email support.

Implementation not required.

SurveyMonkey is easier to customize and provides much more in depth analytics. SurveyMonkey also provides better templates providing us with a better presentation to our employees. SurveyMonkey also comes with a more trustworthy platform that ensures confidentiality, which is incredibly important to our employees and means we're getting more reliable results from the surveys.

We originally used Survey Monkey but found customer support to be unresponsive when we needed it and also the style of surveys you could create were bland and boring, leading to lower response rates. We chose Survey Sparrow for their mobile-first and chat-style survey interface because we have a mobile audience and have found they prefer this style of survey better.

• We use this to survey vendors after a trade show and their comments to me have helped improve other shows. I don't have hard numbers but I know our vendors, some of whom are associate members, are very happy to give this feedback because it helps their ROI too.
• I know it has saved us employee time as we aren't sifting through email responses and entering them into a spreadsheet. SurveyMonkey does that for us.
• We often need to do quick polls to our members to make decisions. This makes them feel like they are getting value for their membership dues that they pay our association.

• Very simple and intuitive interface.
• Easy to set-up and use - pays off quickly.
