## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-09-25 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, results dump straight into Sheets. For internal polls, event signups, and simple customer questionnaires it's genuinely hard to beat. The limits are cosmetic (bland branding) and analytical (no real cross-tab or logic depth), not functional.
> 
> **2. Tally - the best free option that doesn't look free.** Unlimited forms and unlimited responses on the free tier with Tally branding, Notion-style editor, conditional logic included. This is my pick when Google Forms feels too ugly to send to customers but you don't want a subscription. Note their "unlimited" is soft - they reserve the right to set limits case by case.
> 
> **3. Typeform - if the survey is customer-facing and brand matters.** One-question-at-a-time flow measurably lifts completion rates on longer surveys. Roughly $25-$83/month, billed by response volume (the Plus plan runs about $672/year for 1,000 responses/month). Worth it for lead-gen quizzes, onboarding, and anything attached to revenue; overkill for an internal pulse check.
> 
> **4. SurveyMonkey

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.
