What it is

Monival is a monitoring and evaluation platform for collecting field data offline, tracking indicators, running evaluations, managing compliance and budgets, and reporting in real time. It is designed for NGOs, research institutions, and government monitoring programmes. Its Android and iOS Data Collect app stores submissions on the device and syncs them when connectivity returns. Monival imports XLSForms from ODK and KoboToolbox, but repeat groups, conditional logic, constraints, calculations, and per-question translations do not transfer. Data can be exported as CSV or XLSX, sent through a REST API or webhooks, or accessed through an OData-shaped feed for Power BI and Excel. Organisation-scoped records and server-enforced roles control access to functions including form design, submission review, financial data, and administration. Traffic between web, mobile sync, and API is encrypted over HTTPS; collected media is stored on Monival's servers. The free Community plan is billed forever and allows up to three forms, 100 submissions per month, and five enumerators. Pro is listed at $1,500 per year.
