SurveyMonkey alternative

Built for teams, not forms.

SurveyMonkey is a great form builder. It's not great at the "quietly listen to my team every day" job. Daily Question is. Here's why people switch, and when they shouldn't.

Quick take

SurveyMonkey is the right choice when…

  • You're running a one-time, long-form survey (25+ questions).
  • You need conditional logic, question branching, or file uploads.
  • Your audience is external (customers, event attendees), not your team.
  • You want 400+ templates and enterprise survey features.

Daily Question is the right choice when…

  • You want a recurring pulse on how your team is feeling. Not a one-time survey.
  • You want anonymity you can actually defend technically.
  • You want to close the loop (Touchpoints write results back to the team).
  • You'd rather spend zero minutes designing a form.

Common questions

Why not just use SurveyMonkey?

SurveyMonkey is great for long-form, one-time surveys. We're built for recurring anonymous pulse. The opposite pattern.

Is the anonymity better than SurveyMonkey's?

Yes. In SurveyMonkey, anonymity is an option the sender configures. With Daily Question, anonymity is built into the application from day one and there's no admin override that changes that.

Can I migrate my SurveyMonkey questions?

Yes. Export to CSV, import into a Daily Question custom bank.

Is there a free tier?

Yes. Forever, up to 5 seats, no card.

Stop designing forms. Start listening.

Invite your team, pick a bank, let the first anonymous question go out tomorrow morning.
