SurveyMonkey Alternative: No Overages, EU Hosting, No Lock-In
LimeSurvey is the best SurveyMonkey alternative for EU teams. Unlimited surveys at fixed monthly price. Choose your EU data center. Export your data anytime. No per-response overages, ever.
Why teams leave SurveyMonkey
You hit a response limit. You get a surprise bill for €0.10 per extra response. You realize SurveyMonkey charges by team size on Business plans, not by feature. Your team is tired of vendor lock-in and wants to own their data.
These are real pain points. And they repeat every quarter.
The SurveyMonkey math
A team of 5 running pulse surveys for 10,000 employees might hit 50,000 responses per year. At SurveyMonkey's overage rate, that is €5,000 in unexpected fees. At LimeSurvey on Opsily, that is €75 per month flat. Same features. No surprise bills.
The data residency problem
SurveyMonkey's EU data center is available to Enterprise plans only. Typeform requires a custom Enterprise contract to guarantee EU hosting. LimeSurvey includes it at all tiers: Germany, Finland, UK, US, Canada, Australia - you choose.
For compliance teams, that choice matters.
