What SurveyMonkey actually costs over a year
A monthly price is not the same thing as a monthly contract. These are the plans above resolved both ways, per seat or unit where the plan is charged that way. Where a vendor quotes only a yearly figure it is divided by twelve rather than left out, and the Quoted column says which figure the vendor actually publishes.
| Plan | Quoted | Monthly | Over 12 months |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard Monthly | per month | $99 | $1,188 |
| Advantage Annual | per month | $39 | $468 |
| Premier Annual | per month | $139 | $1,668 |
| Team Advantageper user, minimum 3 users, billed annually | per month | $30 | $360 |
| Team Premierper user, minimum 3 users, billed annually | per month | $92 | $1,104 |
Cancelling SurveyMonkey, and getting money back
Read from the published SurveyMonkey terms on 18 September 2026. These are the terms, not legal advice: consumer law where you live may give you rights the terms do not mention.
| When you cancel | You cancel by turning off auto-renew, which stops the next charge or invoice and leaves the time already paid for untouched: paid features last until the plan downgrades at the end of the period. |
|---|---|
| Changing mid-term | A separate cancellation policy covers new accounts upgraded within the past 14 days in the European Union. |

4 archived captures with no price we could read
The capture exists, but the figures on it could not be extracted - usually a page that renders prices in JavaScript, or a currency selector the archive did not record. Listed rather than dropped, because a gap in a price history reads as "nothing changed" and these are not that.
- 18 December 2010 - capture - no plan name sat next to a published figure in this capture
- 13 October 2012 - capture - no plan name sat next to a published figure in this capture
- 2 April 2015 - capture - no plan name sat next to a published figure in this capture
- 3 October 2017 - capture - no plan name sat next to a published figure in this capture
Compiled 18 September 2026 from the Internet Archive Wayback Machine. Plan names were matched against the archived page text and the first currency-anchored figure within 160 characters was recorded, rejecting any figure with a competing plan name standing between it and the name it was matched to. The currency and the unit were read from each capture rather than assumed: captures served in a currency other than $, and captures where no plan name sat beside a figure, are listed as unread rather than dropped. 1 plan series was read from these captures and then discarded, because the most recent capture did not reproduce the price we verified on the live page. Only plans the extraction demonstrably reads correctly are published here. Archived pages show the price as served to the archive's crawler, which may differ by region from the price you are shown.
SurveyMonkey pricing against its competitors
Compared on the smallest invoice each vendor will accept, not on the advertised per-seat rate. Where a product has a seat minimum, the figure below is the minimum times the rate, because that is the cheque you would actually write.
| Product | Cheapest paid entry | Free plan | Against SurveyMonkey |
|---|---|---|---|
| SurveyMonkey | $39 a month | Yes | This product |
| Qualtrics | Quote only | Yes | – |
Which SurveyMonkey plan should you buy?
| Your situation | Recommended | Why |
|---|---|---|
| You need a quick internal poll | Free | 10 questions and 10 responses per survey. Adequate for a straw poll, nothing more. |
| You run regular customer or employee feedback | Team Advantage | $30 per user a month, minimum three users, so $90 a month before anyone collects anything. Note the three-seat minimum is the real floor. |
| You need white labelling and crosstab analysis | Team Premier | $92 per user a month, same three-user minimum, for 100,000 responses a year. |
| You need respondents you do not have | SurveyMonkey Audience | From $0.15 per response. Buying a panel is the capability few competitors offer at all, and often the real reason to be here. |
| You need advanced research statistics | Consider Qualtrics instead | Conjoint and MaxDiff are absent here, not merely weaker. |
| You want high completion rates on customer forms | Consider Typeform instead | One question per screen measurably lifts completion. |
One user or three, and the gap between them
SurveyMonkey splits its pricing across two tabs, and the cheaper-looking number is on the one most people do not click. Team Advantage advertises $30 per user per month, which reads as the entry price until you notice the three-seat floor: the smallest invoice is $90 a month. A single user paying for Advantage Annual instead pays $39 a month, or $468 for the year.
So the honest comparison depends on how many of you there are. One person: $39. Two people: still $39 each on individual plans, because Team starts at three. Three or more: $30 each, and the team features - shared brand assets, roles and permissions, multi-survey analysis - start to earn the difference.
SurveyMonkey also localises pricing by visitor region, and a browser in the EU is shown euros. The figures here were read from the page as served in the United States. Check the price in your own region before budgeting; the plan structure and the seat minimums are the same either way.
Responses per year is the real limit
Seats determine who can build surveys. Responses determine whether you can run them. Team Advantage allows 50,000 responses a year and Team Premier 100,000, and those are annual pools rather than monthly allowances. A single large customer survey can consume a substantial share of a year’s quota in a fortnight, so plan the research calendar against the pool rather than assuming a steady rate.
Audience is the underrated product
Most survey tools assume you already have people to ask. SurveyMonkey Audience sells you a targeted sample from around $0.15 per response, filtered by demographics and region. For market research, concept testing or any question where you have no list, that removes the hardest part of the job and is difficult to replicate cheaply elsewhere.
Where cheaper or better tools win
For an internal poll, Google Forms is free and nobody will complain. For anything customer-facing where completion rate matters more than familiarity, Typeform’s respondent experience is substantially better. And for genuine academic or commercial research requiring methodological control, Qualtrics is the tool that specialists actually ask for.

Provenance and freshness
What has changed
-
August 2026
- Re-read the pricing page from US egress and recorded it in USD. The August figures were euros: SurveyMonkey resolves currency by visitor region on the server, so a local read cannot see the dollar prices at all
- Team Premier corrected from a euro figure to $92 per user a month
- Added the four individual plans, which sit on a separate tab and were missing entirely. Advantage Annual at $39 is the cheapest way for one person to buy
- Corrected a mislabelled row: the $0.15 per-response charge is the overage on paid plans, not SurveyMonkey Audience pricing. Audience is sold separately and is not priced on this page
- Recorded the Basic response allowance as unpublished rather than as ten per survey
-
August 2026
- Pricing recorded in the currency shown to us, with the three-user minimum noted
- Added plan picker and verdicts
