## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-06 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 just need answers.** Free, unlimited questions and responses, and results drop straight into Google Sheets so you can pivot and chart without exporting anything. It's plain-looking and has no real logic/reporting depth, but for an employee pulse check, an event RSVP, or a quick customer poll, paying for anything else is waste. ([costbench](https://costbench.com/compare/google-forms-vs-surveymonkey/))
> 
> **2. Tally - the best free tier that doesn't feel free.** Unlimited forms *and* unlimited submissions at $0, with conditional logic, signatures, and password protection included rather than paywalled. It's Notion-style (you just type), looks far better than Google Forms, and is the one I'd pick when you've outgrown Forms but don't want a subscription.

> 
> **3. Typeform - when the survey is customer-facing and brand matters.** One question at a time, conversational, genuinely the best mobile experience of the group, and it measurably lifts completion rates. The catch is the pricing model: roughly $25-28/mo billed annuall

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.
