# SurveyMonkey vs Lest

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Lest at 100% against SurveyMonkey's 41%. Lest also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.1). SurveyMonkey's advantage is ratings volume (2.8K vs 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 Lest sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Lest holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SurveyMonkey has 2.8K ratings behind it against 1, 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 100% of Lest's.
