SurveyMonkey collects survey responses. Chooseday runs team votes and produces a clear winner, no data analysis required.
SurveyMonkey is enterprise survey software. It is comprehensive, it is expensive, and it is designed for collecting data at scale, customer satisfaction surveys, NPS programs, research panels. For teams that need to make internal decisions together, it is significant overkill, and the pricing reflects that. The free plan limits you to 10 questions and 40 responses, which is restrictive enough to rule it out for any meaningful team poll. Paid plans start at $25 per user per month, a high price for what is, in a decision context, just a way to ask your team which option they prefer.
Teams looking for a SurveyMonkey alternative are often in one of two situations: they have outgrown the free plan and do not want to pay enterprise prices for simple team polls, or they have realised that SurveyMonkey's survey format does not map cleanly onto decision-making, it collects responses but does not aggregate them into an outcome or tell you what your team decided.
If you are replacing SurveyMonkey for internal team decisions, the key differences to look for are: unlimited responses on a free or low-cost plan, a decision output rather than a data export, anonymous voting that does not require a workaround, automatic reminders to non-responders, and a result that is stored somewhere your team can reference. You do not need advanced survey logic, skip patterns, or NPS scoring for a team vote on which vendor to hire or which project to prioritise next quarter.
Chooseday costs a fraction of SurveyMonkey for team use cases, and the free plan has no response limits. Where SurveyMonkey gives you a data dashboard after the fact, Chooseday gives you a declared winner the moment the vote closes. Anonymous voting, automatic reminders, ranked choice support, and a permanent decision archive are all included. For customer surveys and research, SurveyMonkey remains the right tool. For the everyday decisions your team needs to make together, budget choices, hiring votes, project direction, Chooseday is faster, cheaper, and built for that specific job.
The honest comparison
The problems Chooseday was built to solve
Chooseday's free plan has no response limits. Whether you have 5 voters or 500, there's no cap on who can participate.

Every feature that matters, compared
We were paying for SurveyMonkey just to get anonymous responses. Chooseday gives us that on the free plan, and the result is already calculated.
The 10-response limit on SurveyMonkey free was a joke for team polls. Chooseday has no such limit and takes two minutes to set up.
