SurveyMonkey is a strong general-purpose survey platform with templates, standard analytics, and many integrations. It’s a reliable choice if your team already knows it, you want a traditional survey builder, or you need a widely adopted tool with a long track record.
Where SurveyMonkey tends to feel heavier is in design polish and speed-to-publish — especially if you want something that looks modern out of the box or want the survey generated from a single prompt.
Perspicx is built for fast, modern survey creation. You describe what you need, the AI builds it, and you publish in minutes — with beautiful mobile-first designs and clear pricing.
No credit card required. Your first survey/form in under 60 seconds.
