LimeSurvey Best for: Researchers who want open-source code, EU hosting and detailed survey logic. LimeSurvey suits researchers who want open-source software and fine control over survey logic, with EU hosting on offer. Every paid plan lists skip logic, quotas and SPSS export, and the free cloud package holds 25 responses. The catch: the cheapest yearly plan caps responses per year, the site shows ISO 27001 as in progress, and cross-tabulation is not documented. ## 2. Alchemer Best for: Researchers who need complex logic and exports for a small team. Alchemer suits researchers who need randomisation, quotas, translations, crosstab reports and SPSS export, and who can pay per user. Unlimited surveys and questions start at the cheapest plan. The catch: API access and SSO are tied to quote-priced business platform accounts, and the page does not show which plan includes survey logic. ## 3. SurveyMonkey Best for: Teams that want skip logic and analysis tools in one hosted product. SurveyMonkey suits people who want skip logic, randomisation, piping, quotas, crosstabs and SPSS export from one hosted tool. It lists SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 and links an accessibility conformance report. The catch: the free plan caps surveys at 10 questions, and the price page lists zloty only, so no dollar price is scored. ## 4. QuestionPro Best for: Researchers who want deep analysis tools and EU or SSO options. QuestionPro suits researchers who need cross-tabs, SPSS export and an API from the Advanced plan upward, and an EU data centre option. The entry paid plan costs $99 per user a month, billed annually. The catch: Advanced caps questions at 200 per survey, question randomization starts at Team Edition, and single sign-on is Research Edition only. The company was the target of an extortion attempt in 2022. ## 5. SurveySparrow Best for: Solo creators and small teams who want logic on a low-priced plan. SurveySparrow suits solo creators who want skip logic and a clear entry price, at $19 a month billed yearly. Its security pages list SOC 2 Type II and ISO/IEC 27001, a published DPA and an EU data centre option. The catch: Basic caps active surveys at 100, and piping, quotas, cross-tabs and branding controls need pricier plans. ## 6. Formbricks Best for: Teams that want open-source code, EU hosting and website or in-app surveys. Formbricks suits teams that want open-source code, EU hosting and published security credentials, with a free plan to start on. Pro is the cheapest paid plan at $74 a month with 2,000 responses. The catch: quotas and single sign-on sit in higher or enterprise editions, and the pricing page does not list logic for Pro. ## 7. Zoho Survey Best for: Budget-minded users who need unlimited surveys and white-label options. Zoho Survey suits budget-minded users who want unlimited surveys and questions for $7.42 a month, billed yearly. Basic also removes the standard watermark and offers randomization, quotas and CSV or XLS export. The catch: skip logic, cross-tabs and multilingual surveys need Plus or Pro, and Basic's response cap is set per survey rather than per month. ## 8. Survicate Best for: Product and CX teams collecting feedback on websites and in apps. Survicate suits teams that want surveys inside their website or app, with a free plan to start and logic included from the first paid tier. EU hosting, an ISO 27001 certificate and a downloadable data processing agreement cover most privacy checks. The catch: the $56 plan allows only 100 responses a month, and API access, quotas and single sign-on sit on higher plans. ## 9. Typeform Best for: Small teams that want a one-question-at-a-time survey form. Typeform suits small teams that want conditional logic and recall of earlier answers on a low-cost paid plan. Branding removal starts at Plus, and the response cap on Basic is low at 100 a month. The catch: it names SOC2 but not Type II, and SSO and EU storage need Enterprise. ## 10. SurveyPlanet Best for: People who want cheap, simple surveys with branching and exports. SurveyPlanet suits people who want a low-cost survey tool with no response cap and skip logic at $15 a month. Pro also removes the vendor's branding and exports results in several formats. The catch: it publishes no SOC 2 or ISO 27001 certification, no single sign-on and no data location, and API access needs the Enterprise plan. ## 11. Crowdsignal Best for: People who want polls and surveys with branching at a low price. Crowdsignal suits people who want polls and surveys with logic for $15 a month and no cap on signals. Exports to Excel, CSV, XML and PDF come with Premium. The catch: its pages mention no SOC 2, ISO 27001, EU storage or data processing agreement, and its API covers polls and ratings, not surveys. ## 12. Zonka Feedback Best for: Teams running customer feedback programmes who are happy to request a quote. Zonka Feedback suits teams measuring NPS, CSAT and CES across many channels, with regional hosting including the EU. It publishes no prices, response limits or plan features, so cost and limits can only be learned from a sales quote. The catch: most price and limit lines in our scoring have nothing to count, and the DPA is not a public download.
