## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-09-29 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> # Best survey tools for small businesses
> 
> Here's what I'd actually recommend, roughly in the order I'd try them:
> 
> **1. Google Forms - start here if budget matters at all.** Free with any Google account, unlimited surveys, unlimited questions, unlimited responses. It's ugly-ish and the analytics are thin, but for internal surveys, event signups, or a quick customer poll it's genuinely hard to beat. Results drop straight into Sheets.
> 
> **2. Tally - the best value for anything Google Forms can't do.** Notion-style editor, and the free plan includes unlimited forms *and* unlimited responses plus conditional logic, file uploads, calculations, and Stripe payments. That's remarkable when Typeform caps its free tier at 10 responses/month. Pro is $29/mo if you need partial submissions or custom CSS. EU-hosted, which helps if GDPR is a concern.
> 
> **3. Typeform - if the survey is customer-facing and design matters.** One-question-at-a-time flow measurably lifts completion rates, and it looks like it belongs on your brand's website. The catch is price: free tier is nearly useless (10 questions, 10 responses/month), Basic is $29/mo, Plus $59, Business $99.
> 
> **4. Jotform - best if you need surveys
