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

Why are you still using two tools for one campaign?

If you're managing 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 just to send a follow-up or check who opened the email. And suddenly, you're staring at upgrade prompts, because your audience list is too big.

Now you’re paying more on both platforms just to do something that should be simple. It’s exhausting, expensive, and honestly... it doesn’t need to be this hard. There’s a better way - you don't have to stitch tools together.

Email Campaigns + Surveys = Double the Cost and Time

Let’s talk numbers. To get the basic functionality you need across Mailchimp and SurveyMonkey, you’re 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’s $273+ per month with a year-long commitment - and you still don’t have a seamless workflow.

You’re 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One small error, like sending to an outdated list or forgetting to sync recent subscribers, and your campaign can fall apart. It’s messy, inefficient, and totally unnecessary.

And that’s not fair use of your time and cost. You’ve got better things to do than manage two tools to send one survey.
