Built for surveys, not forms first
Jotform is a form builder first: its ranking question is a widget, not a native field. SurveyRock is built around surveys, with native ranking, matrix and constant-sum questions, skip logic from Solo at $35 a month, and theme detection and key driver analysis from Growth.
SurveyRock is the better fit if surveys are the actual job. Stay with Jotform if you collect payments in your forms, or need a general-purpose form builder more than a survey tool.

Where SurveyRock wins
A native ranking question, not a widget
Jotform's own help documentation confirms ranking questions require a separate "Orderable List" widget rather than a core field. SurveyRock's ranking and matrix/grid questions are native, first-class question types.
Cheaper branding removal, monthly and annually
SurveyRock's Solo plan ($35/mo, or $29.17/mo effective annually) includes branding removal. Jotform's cheapest branding-removal tier, Bronze, runs $39/mo (or $34/mo effective annually) — SurveyRock is the lower price both ways.
AI built around survey analysis, not general workflow
SurveyRock's AI pulls the recurring themes out of your open-ended answers and writes an executive summary you can hand to stakeholders. Jotform's AI product line centers on chatbot agents and form generation.

Questions people ask
Can I migrate my forms from Jotform to SurveyRock?
Yes. Download your submissions from Jotform Tables as CSV or Excel. SurveyRock imports responses from a CSV or Excel file, and questions from a Word or text file. If you'd rather we did the move, talk to us at support@surveyrock.com. We never need your Jotform login.
Is SurveyRock cheaper than Jotform?
For branding removal, yes — SurveyRock's Solo plan is $35/mo ($29.17/mo effective annually) versus Jotform Bronze at $39/mo ($34/mo effective annually). Above that tier, compare against your actual response/submission volume.
Does Jotform's ranking question really need a separate widget?
Confirmed in Jotform's own product structure — ranking is implemented as an "Orderable List" widget, added separately from Jotform's core form fields, rather than shipping as a native question type the way multiple choice or rating scale do.
