SurveyMonkey is one of the oldest and most recognized survey tools. It excels at survey-specific features like panel respondents, advanced analytics, and research-grade question types. Fomr is a visual form builder with a drag-and-drop editor, 1700+ fonts, and full design control. SurveyMonkey is deeper on surveys; Fomr offers more design flexibility and a more generous free plan.

Why teams switch from SurveyMonkey to Fomr
No question or response limits
SurveyMonkey's free plan caps you at 10 questions per survey and 25 responses per survey. Fomr's free plan has no limits on either.
Full design control
SurveyMonkey's customization is limited — branded themes and custom logos require a paid team plan ($25/user/month, min 3 users). Fomr gives you 1700+ fonts, custom colors, and backgrounds for free.
Significantly cheaper
SurveyMonkey's Team Advantage starts at $25/user/month (minimum 3 users, billed annually) — that's $75/month minimum. Fomr Pro is $17/month with unlimited team members included.
Fomr vs SurveyMonkey: pricing breakdown
SurveyMonkey’s free plan is restrictive: 10 questions per survey, 25 responses per survey, and limited customization. Paid plans are team-only: Team Advantage at $25/user/month (minimum 3 users, billed annually) provides 50,000 responses per year and adds custom branding, skip logic, and data exports. Team Premier at $75/user/month adds 100,000 responses per year, white-label branding, and advanced analytics. Enterprise offers custom response limits and a custom subdomain.
Fomr’s free plan includes unlimited forms, unlimited questions, unlimited responses, and full design customization. The Pro plan at $17/month adds custom domains and branding removal.
For a team of 3 users needing branded surveys with more than 25 responses, SurveyMonkey Team Advantage costs $75/month (billed annually). Fomr’s free plan covers unlimited responses and design customization, and Pro adds branding removal for $17/month total — not per user.
Fomr vs SurveyMonkey: the editor
SurveyMonkey uses a list-based survey editor. You add questions sequentially, choose from a range of question types (including research-specific types like matrix questions, ranking, and slider scales), and configure them in a sidebar. It’s built for surveys, and the question type library reflects that.
Fomr uses a visual drag-and-drop canvas. You place fields on the page, arrange layouts freely, and see the result in real time. Fomr’s editor is designed for both forms and surveys — it supports ratings, multiple choice, dropdowns, and all standard question types, with the added benefit of visual layout control.
SurveyMonkey has more survey-specific question types. Fomr has a more flexible editor with better design output.
Fomr vs SurveyMonkey: design and customization
SurveyMonkey’s surveys have a recognizable look. The free plan allows basic color themes. Custom logos, fonts, and branded themes require a paid team plan (starting at $25/user/month). Even on paid plans, the design options are limited compared to dedicated design tools.
Fomr gives you full design control on the free plan: 1700+ Google Fonts, custom color palettes, background images from Unsplash, custom logos, and adjustable layouts. Surveys built on Fomr look professional and branded from day one.
If your surveys need to match your brand identity, Fomr offers significantly more design flexibility — and it’s free.
