Part 6/7:
SurveyMonkey's metrics indicate that since its inception, the platform has amassed 60 million registered users. Among these, 16 million are considered active users, having engaged with the platform within the last year, while merely 600,000 users are paying customers. This equates to roughly 4% of active users transitioning to paid subscriptions—hinting at the challenges inherent in converting a free user base into loyal, paying customers.
While SurveyMonkey's business model has proven sustainable given its extensive user base, the uphill battle for increased conversions remains a prominent concern. Like its contemporaries, the platform relies less on traditional sales tactics and more on organic, word-of-mouth referrals to drive growth.
