## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-09-21 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 if you're not sure**
> Free at any volume, no response cap, no per-seat charge. If your survey is internal (employee pulse, event signup, simple customer feedback) this is almost always good enough, and results land straight in Sheets. The reason to leave isn't features, it's that it looks like a Google Form.

> 
> **2. Tally - best value for customer-facing surveys**
> Unlimited forms and submissions on the free plan (within fair use), including conditional logic, file uploads, payments, and Notion/Airtable/Sheets integrations. $24/mo (annual) only if you want to remove Tally branding and use a custom domain. For a small business this is the biggest gap between what you pay and what you get. ([tally.so/pricing](https://tally.so/pricing))
> 
> **3. Typeform - if the survey is part of your brand**
> One-question-at-a-time flow that genuinely lifts completion rates on customer-facing surveys and lead-gen. Basic

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.
