They host a lot of forms. Forms that do fancy things. And engineers cost a lot of money in the Bay Area. Hope that helps.

Does it also surprise you that DocuSign is a company worth over $10B?

People are expensive. And they're a profitable company, so they must be doing something right. The market doesn't care that they "host forms." The market cares that SurveyMonkey solves their problems.

I can think of about a dozen organizations who collectively spend 10x this on tools like Cognos, PowerBI and Tableau.
Easily 90% of their use cases could be fulfilled by excel.
Solutions cost money.

Out of curiosity, how do you think a company that does not have a team of engineers would survey people?
