SurveyMonkey is a online forms and lead capture tools for Indian buyers. It costs about ₹429/mo before GST. Prices show in rupees, but it bills from outside India, so your card may add a forex markup. It does not issue an India GST invoice, so a registered business reclaims the GST via reverse charge. FindThatSoftware rates it best for teams running customer/employee surveys, and a poor fit if two person research teams that want shared survey ownership, because team plans start at a three user minimum.
The trade-off, weighed
What you gain, and what you give up.
The case for
- Pricing is published in rupees for Indian buyers, starting at 899 rupees a month for Standard with unlimited questions per survey.
- Standard is billed monthly, so a one off research project can be run and cancelled without an annual commitment.
- Advantage covers 15,000 responses a year at 1,999 rupees a month billed annually, which is cheap per response for steady survey volume.
The catch
- Advantage and Premier are sold on annual billing only, so the sole monthly option is Standard with its 1,000 response ceiling.
- Responses past the plan allowance cost 5 rupees each, which turns one survey that spreads further than expected into an unplanned bill.
- Annual plans count responses per year rather than per month, so a single seasonal spike can consume the whole allowance early.
- Team plans need a minimum of 3 users, so a two person research team pays for a third seat it does not use.
True India price
Registered business, per month
₹429
SurveyMonkey is billed in rupees at ₹429/mo, so there is no forex markup. A registered business reclaims GST, so that is roughly the cost (₹5,148/yr). Without reclaim, add 18% for about ₹506 a month.

In practice
Where SurveyMonkey fits in a workflow
These stacks show when to use this tool, what comes before it, and what should be handled manually first.
Does SurveyMonkey give a GST invoice in India?
SurveyMonkey does not issue an India GST invoice. A GST-registered business can still reclaim the 18% through the reverse-charge route by raising a self-invoice, but there is no vendor GST invoice to claim against directly.
Is SurveyMonkey good for Indian small businesses?
SurveyMonkey is worth evaluating for Indian buyers, but the final fit depends on pricing limits, support, integrations, and setup effort.
Does SurveyMonkey have a free plan?
SurveyMonkey lists a free plan, but check the official pricing page for current usage limits before choosing it.
