# SurveyMonkey vs Polls

The clearest difference is rating: SurveyMonkey at 4.6 against Polls's 1.6. SurveyMonkey also leads on ratings volume (2.8K vs 18) and review sentiment (41% vs 22%). Polls's advantage is iOS requirement (10.0 vs 17.1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. SurveyMonkey sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $15.99 per month and Polls sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

SurveyMonkey holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 1.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SurveyMonkey has 2.8K ratings behind it against 18, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 41% of SurveyMonkey's written reviews are positive against 22% of Polls's.
