## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-09-27 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.** Free with no response caps, no seat charges, results dump straight into Sheets. For most small businesses doing customer feedback, post-purchase check-ins, or event signups, this is genuinely enough. Ugly-ish and weak on logic/reporting, but you shouldn't pay for a survey tool until you know Forms can't do the job.
> 
> **2. Tally or Fillout - the modern free tier.** Both give you unlimited responses free with conditional logic, notion-style editing, and payment fields. Tally is the closest thing to "Typeform quality at Google Forms price." This is the sweet spot most small businesses land on in 2026.
> 
> **3. Typeform - if the survey is customer-facing and design matters.** Best completion rates of the bunch because of the one-question-at-a-time flow. The catch: it bills by *response*, and it escalates fast - Basic runs ~$25/mo for one user, and a lead form doing ~1,800 responses/month pushes you to the Business tier around $1,000/yr. Great for a polished intake or NPS form, bad for high volume.
> 
> **4. Jotform - if you need payments, uploads, or e-signatures attached.** 10,000+ templa
