Flexi-Grant vs SurveyMonkey

Flexi-Grant is cloud-based grant management software for organisations that award funding. It covers applications, eligibility, assessment, awards, monitoring and reporting, with an audit trail. Teams can configure forms, review stages, scoring and approval routes without a developer. Applicants and reviewers have separate portals, and applicants can save an application and return to it before submission. Budget tools track funds by programme, period, quarter or year and accommodate multi-year grants and milestone-based payments. The Finance API connects with systems including Sage, Oracle, Exchequer and Microsoft Dynamics 365; integrations with ORCID and single sign-on are also available. The maker lists ISO 27001 and Cyber Essentials Plus certifications, GDPR compliance, UK data hosting, encrypted storage and role-based access, and says customer data stays in the UK. A two-week trial provides full platform access without limitations. Pricing is on request, and implementation is quoted separately. Flexi-Grant serves charities and nonprofits, community funders, philanthropy organisations, research organisations and central government. Its maker says the platform follows a good-practice structure and will not reproduce every organisation’s internal process exactly.

SurveyMonkey is a platform for creating surveys, forms and quizzes, with response analytics, logic branching, custom branding and API access. Its free Basic plan allows unlimited surveys, but each survey is limited to 10 questions and responses are restricted. The platform lists 1,000 responses per month as a response limit; other listed plans include 15,000 responses per year on Advantage Annual and 40,000 on Premier Annual. Team plans provide shared assets, roles, permissions and consolidated billing, and surveys can accept payments through Stripe or PayPal. Free iOS and Android apps support survey creation and checking recent results; each user may register up to two devices at a time. Paid plans may charge ₹5.00 for each response beyond the applicable limit. Enterprise includes Zoom integration, enhanced governance and security, SSO and regional data centers. SurveyMonkey Audience is listed as reaching more than 335 million people across over 130 countries. Team Advantage is listed at ₹1,550 per user per month, starting with three users and billed annually; Team Premier is ₹3,800 on the same basis. The maker was founded in 1999 and is headquartered in San Mateo, California.
