Our verdict on Monival

Monival is a monitoring and evaluation platform for NGOs, research institutions, governments, and development programmes. Its mobile forms product combines a drag-and-drop builder with conditional logic and validation, plus Android and iOS apps for offline field collection. Teams can capture GPS coordinates, photos, files, and electronic signatures, then synchronize submissions when connectivity returns. It is a strong fit for field teams migrating from ODK or KoboToolbox, especially when offline collection and downstream reporting matter.

The published plans show a free Community tier with up to 3 forms, 100 submissions per month, and 5 enumerators. It includes the offline mobile app, OData / Power BI feed, webhooks, and API access. Pro costs $1,500 per year and adds unlimited forms, 10,000 submissions per month, unlimited enumerators, and the 360° evaluation engine. Grants costs $3,500 per year and adds compliance and due-diligence questionnaires, budgets and donor tracking, and a dedicated grant-round workflow. Premium costs $10,000 per year and adds custom submission limits, dedicated onboarding, an SLA, and priority support. Grants is marked early access, while Premium requires contacting sales.

Monival’s ecosystem fit is a central strength. XLSForm imports support ODK and KoboToolbox transitions, while Power BI, Excel, OData, Power Automate, webhooks, REST API, and CSV/XLSX exports support analysis and connected workflows. The product is available on web, iOS, Android, API, and self-hosted deployments. Live submission dashboards provide filtering for operational review. Teams needing form capture, offline access, and reporting connections should shortlist Monival. Organizations that require workflow handoffs should choose a product with that capability, and smaller teams should assess whether the annual paid tiers match their needs.
