> # Best survey tools for small businesses
> 
> Here's what I'd actually recommend, roughly in the order I'd suggest trying them:
> 
> **1. Google Forms - start here if you're not sure.** Free, unlimited questions and responses, dumps straight into Google Sheets. For customer feedback, event signups, or internal polls, it's genuinely enough, and you can't beat the price. The look is plain and the logic is basic - that's the trade.
> 
> **2. Tally - the best free tier that doesn't feel cheap.** Unlimited forms *and* unlimited responses at $0, plus conditional logic, calculations, file uploads, e-signatures, and Stripe payment collection on the free plan. Notion-style editing, so it's fast to build. Pro is $29/mo if you want branding removed and more. This is my pick for small businesses who find Google Forms ugly but don't want a subscription.
> 
> **3. SurveyMonkey - the default when you need real survey methodology.** Industry-specific expert templates, solid question-type library, AI help writing questions, and a paid respondent panel if you need to reach people outside your own list. Free through about $92-99/mo. Worth it mainly if you're running recurring, analyzed surveys (NPS, pricing research
