SurveyMonkey vs Wellness Pulse: General surveys or anonymous pulse signals?
If you need a flexible, general survey tool, SurveyMonkey fits. If you need trusted, anonymous pulse signals that trigger earlier action, Wellness Pulse is built for that—across workplaces, campuses, healthcare, hospitality, and communities.
Why organizations move beyond general survey tools
- Students hesitate with traceable links and accounts
- Consistency and cadence matter more than customization
- Location hotspots and time-based trends are needed without manual work
