Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: SurveyMonkey at free with in-app purchases against Motion's subscription. SurveyMonkey also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.6 vs 4.1). Motion's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
