How the Day-to-Day Differs
What SurveyHeart does, and the honest SurveyMonkey context.
SurveyHeart's free plan has no cap on how many responses you collect or view. You see every single response without upgrading.
SurveyMonkey: SurveyMonkey's free plan lets you view up to 25 responses per survey, even if more people have responded. To see the rest, you need a paid plan.
SurveyHeart lets you export all your responses to Excel, CSV and PDF on the free plan, so your data is always yours to keep.
SurveyMonkey: SurveyMonkey does not allow data export on the free plan. You can only view results inside the SurveyMonkey dashboard.
SurveyHeart has a native Android and iOS app, so you can build a survey, share it and read all responses from your phone.
SurveyMonkey: SurveyMonkey works in a mobile browser but does not have a dedicated native app for building and managing surveys.
SurveyHeart gives you a QR code and one-tap WhatsApp and SMS sharing built into every survey, at no cost.
SurveyMonkey: SurveyMonkey gives you a link and a web collector. You would need a separate tool to make a QR code, and there is no built-in WhatsApp share.
SurveyHeart sends an instant push notification to your phone on every new response, to you and any collaborators.
SurveyMonkey: SurveyMonkey can send email summaries but does not have native push notifications to a mobile app.

Where SurveyMonkey Is Still the Better Choice
An honest comparison has to cut both ways. Here is where SurveyMonkey wins.
More powerful analytics
SurveyMonkey's paid plans offer deeper analytics tools, including cross-tabulation, trend analysis and sentiment analysis, that go beyond SurveyHeart's built-in charts and filters.
Expert question bank
SurveyMonkey offers a large library of pre-written, research-grade questions built with survey methodologists. If question quality and phrasing matter for your research, this is a real edge.
Paid respondent panel
SurveyMonkey Audience lets you pay to reach a specific demographic panel for market research. SurveyHeart has no equivalent. You share your own link to your own audience.
Enterprise survey platform
For large organisations that need SSO, admin controls, user management and compliance features, SurveyMonkey's enterprise tier is a mature, established choice. SurveyHeart is built for simpler, faster survey collection.

Real forms, surveys and polls, built and shared from the app.
Making the Switch Is Quick
Start from a blank form or pick a ready-made template, add your questions and share the link, the QR code or a WhatsApp message. There is no importer yet, so you rebuild your form once, and templates make that fast.
If you need a paid audience panel, deep analytics or enterprise controls, SurveyMonkey is worth the investment. If you want to collect unlimited responses, export your data and share surveys from your phone without paying anything, SurveyHeart is the free alternative that removes the cap.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is SurveyHeart really free with no response limit?
Yes. SurveyHeart's free plan lets you collect and view unlimited form and survey responses. There is a fair-use review for accounts above 150,000 responses, but there is no hard cap like SurveyMonkey's 25-response limit on the free plan.
Can I export my data for free on SurveyHeart?
Yes. You can export all your responses to Excel, CSV and PDF on the free plan. SurveyMonkey does not allow data export on its free plan. You need to upgrade to a paid plan to download your data.
How many questions can I add to a survey on SurveyHeart?
There is no question limit on SurveyHeart. SurveyMonkey's free plan caps you at 10 questions per survey.
Does SurveyHeart have a mobile app?
Yes. SurveyHeart has native Android and iOS apps. You can build a survey, share it via QR code or WhatsApp, and read all responses from your phone. SurveyMonkey does not have a dedicated native app for building and managing surveys.
Does SurveyHeart have conditional logic?
Conditional logic (showing or hiding questions based on a previous answer) is a paid feature on SurveyHeart. It is also a paid feature on SurveyMonkey. Neither product includes it on the free plan.
Are there ads on SurveyHeart?
All plans show Google display ads on the survey page. Paid plans remove the app-install prompt but display ads remain. If a completely ad-free survey experience is essential, check both platforms' current paid plan details.
