# SurveyMonkey vs WhenAvailable

The clearest difference is ratings volume: SurveyMonkey at 2.8K against WhenAvailable's 7. SurveyMonkey also leads on rating (4.6 vs 4.3). WhenAvailable's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 2 months) and review sentiment (50% vs 41%). 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 WhenAvailable sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $48.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

SurveyMonkey holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SurveyMonkey has 2.8K ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 41% of SurveyMonkey's written reviews are positive against 50% of WhenAvailable's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

SurveyMonkey ships an update every 2 months, WhenAvailable monthly. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
