“SurveyMonkey forces you to pay to see your responses. This is not communicated upfront on trial and this has been reported by many users on Twitter.”

SurveyMonkey was reported to the Deceptive Design Tip Line over access to survey responses. According to the report, SurveyMonkey requires the user to pay in order to see their responses, and this is not communicated upfront during the trial.
