Research edges out Surveymonkey modestly on homepage messaging, 71 to 66. Here's where the gap comes from.

Research is clearer about what it does (90 vs 56 on clarity). Research's hero ("Create online surveys. Own your brand.") names something concrete, while Surveymonkey's ("Guess less. Ask more.") stays abstract. Surveymonkey has stronger CTAs (70 vs 58). Research is better at saying who it's for (ICP: 81 vs 45). Research's targeting is crystal-clear, while Surveymonkey's is decent.

Research uses a "Platform / Ecosystem" positioning while Surveymonkey goes with "Price / Value Leader" — fundamentally different approaches to winning the same buyer.
