The full story
SurveyMonkey has long been a market leader in online surveys, but plenty of alternatives exist—many with generous free tiers or unique features. Here are a few to consider:
- Google Forms. Free and simple, Google Forms lets you create unlimited surveys with multiple question types, basic logic and charts. It integrates with Google Sheets for analysis. See Is Google Forms free to use? for details.
- Microsoft Forms. Included with Microsoft 365 subscriptions, it offers similar functionality to Google Forms with deeper integration into Excel and Teams. Learn more in What is the Microsoft equivalent to Google Forms?.
- Typeform. Known for its conversational, one‑question‑at‑a‑time design, Typeform provides a polished user experience. Its free plan is limited, but paid tiers include logic jumps, custom branding and integrations.
- JotForm. A flexible form builder with drag‑and‑drop components, templates and payment integrations. It offers a generous free plan with monthly submission limits.
- Tofu Surveys. Our own platform balances ease of use and power. You can build surveys, collect responses in real time and connect to databases through webhooks. Custom branding, logic and analytics are available even on free plans.
When choosing an alternative, consider your budget, required features (e.g. branching logic, file uploads, multilingual support) and integration needs. For an in‑depth comparison of poll and survey tools, see our blog Choosing the Right Poll Maker.
