BlockSurvey vs Mailchimp + SurveyMonkey: Why Juggle Tools When You Can Have It All in One?

BlockSurvey replaces running Mailchimp and SurveyMonkey together when you need to survey an audience and follow up by email in one workflow, for up to 70% less cost and without the manual list-syncing. Most teams still run two tools for one campaign, and they do not have to.

If you manage HR communications, you know how common it is to rely on a Mailchimp + SurveyMonkey combo to run survey campaigns.

You use SurveyMonkey to gather feedback. Then you switch to Mailchimp to send a follow-up or check who opened the email. Soon you are staring at upgrade prompts because your audience list is too big.

If SurveyMonkey is the piece you're rethinking, compare BlockSurvey vs SurveyMonkey or migrate from SurveyMonkey in a few clicks.

Now you are paying more on both platforms to do something that should be simple. It costs more time and money than it should, and you do not have to stitch two tools together.

Email campaigns plus surveys means double the cost and time

To get the basic functionality you need across Mailchimp and SurveyMonkey, you are likely facing:

• $134/month if billed annually for Mailchimp (just to access basic automation and larger audience sizes)
• $139/month if billed annually for SurveyMonkey (to unlock logic jumps and collaboration features, and 40k responses per year)

That is $273+ per month with a year-long commitment, and you still do not have a connected workflow.

You are also stuck doing the manual work:

• Exporting contact lists
• Importing them into your survey tool
• Syncing unsubscribes, responses, and segments
• Troubleshooting failed integrations

One small error, like sending to an outdated list or forgetting to sync recent subscribers, and your campaign can fall apart. That is a lot of avoidable risk for a routine task.

That is not a good use of your time or budget. You have better things to do than manage two tools to send one survey.

Simple campaign setup

Starting a campaign on BlockSurvey is simple. You can go from idea to launch in a few minutes.

Here's how it works:

1. Create your survey. Choose a ready-made template or build one from scratch, with no code and a simple drag-and-drop editor.

2. Add your audience. Upload your contact/audience list or type them in directly, all inside your dashboard.

3. Write your email. Craft a quick message and personalize it with tags like name, email, and a link to the survey.

4. Send a test. To check how it looks, send a test email to yourself (or your team) and adjust as needed. You can get a clear picture here.

5. Follow-ups. Set up the follow-up emails automatically to check on non-responders, so you do not chase people by hand.
