## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-09-08 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> Here's what I'd actually recommend, roughly in the order I'd try them.
> 
> **1. Google Forms - start here unless you have a reason not to.** Free at any volume, no response cap, no per-seat charge, results dump straight into Sheets. For internal polls, event signups, and "what do our 40 customers think" surveys, it's genuinely sufficient. Its real weaknesses are branding (it looks like Google Forms) and thin logic/integrations. ([revolgy.com](https://www.revolgy.com/insights/blog/google-forms-vs-jotform-vs-typeform-vs-surveymonkey), [spaceforms.io](https://spaceforms.io/articles/google-forms-vs-surveymonkey))
> 
> **2. Tally - the best free tier if you want something that looks like your brand.** Unlimited forms *and* unlimited submissions on free, with conditional logic, file uploads, and payments included rather than gated. This is the one that surprises people; it's Notion-style editing and it doesn't nickel-and-dime you on responses. ([tally.so](https://tally.so/help/compare))
> 
> **3. Typeform - when the survey is customer-facing and completion rate matters.** One-question-at-a-time flow measurably helps response rates on longer surveys, and it's the nicest-looking option out of the box

Answer Watch records what one AI answer engine said on one date, nothing more. Each page names the engine and the model, carries the date the question was asked, and lists the brands that appeared in the answer in the order the engine gave them, with the sources it cited. It is a measurement, not a ranking, not a recommendation and not a claim about the world. Brands that did not appear in an answer are not named on any public page.
