A simpler SurveyMonkey API alternative
SurveyMonkey's API is powerful but built around OAuth app registration and, for your own team, a paid plan. SpaceForms gives you a personal API key in seconds and a small, predictable set of endpoints.
How they differ
- Setup: SurveyMonkey requires registering an app; a draft app can be used for 90 days, then it must be deployed as a public app (reviewed by SurveyMonkey) or a private app. SpaceForms needs only an API key from your settings page.
- Plan: SurveyMonkey private apps require every user to have a paid plan that includes direct API access. SpaceForms API access is included on the free plan.
- Limits: SurveyMonkey private apps start at 500 API calls per day.
- Depth: SurveyMonkey offers more advanced research features, panels and enterprise controls.
Frequently asked questions
- What does it cost?
- API access is included on every account, including free. Free accounts can create unlimited forms and collect unlimited responses, and see the 10 most recent answers per form. Pro (from $14/month) shows every answer on every form.
- How do I get an API key?
- Sign in, open Settings → API keys (spaceforms.io/settings/api-keys), name the key and press Create. The key starts with sf_live_ and is shown once. You can revoke it at any time.
