Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Pax Systems at none against SurveyMonkey's 10. Pax Systems also leads on update cadence (daily vs every 2 months) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). SurveyMonkey's advantage is ratings volume (2.8K vs 1). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
