Questions people ask

Is Formkit a survey tool?

It works well for surveys: NPS, satisfaction, event and course feedback all have templates. For panels, benchmarks and statistical tests, SurveyMonkey goes further.

Can I see every response on the free plan?

On Formkit, yes, however many come in. SurveyMonkey's Basic plan collects responses but only shows a limited number per survey.

How do the prices compare?

SurveyMonkey's team plans start at $30 a user a month, billed yearly, with a minimum of three users. Formkit Pro is $6 a seat a month.

Can AI read the responses for me?

Yes, on Pro. For forms with AI replies on, Formkit sums up what people said and what they want. See the AI insights page.

Choose the tool that fits the job. Choose Formkit when the form is part of how people see you.
