## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-23 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> ## My picks, in the order I'd actually try them
> 
> **1. Google Forms - start here if you just need answers, not polish.** Free, unlimited questions and responses, results dump straight into Sheets. For a customer satisfaction check, an event RSVP, or an internal poll, the paid tools don't give you meaningfully better data. The limits show up when you want branding, logic-heavy flows, or anything that looks like it came from a real company.
> 
> **2. Tally - the best free tier that doesn't feel crippled.** Unlimited forms *and* unlimited submissions at $0, with conditional logic and signatures included - features Jotform and Typeform put behind paywalls. Notion-style editor, so you type and it builds. This is my default recommendation for a small business that wants something nicer than Google Forms without a subscription. Paid plan is ~$29/mo if you want full branding removal and custom domains.
> 
> **3. Typeform - if the survey is customer-facing and design matters.** One-question-at-a-time flow genuinely lifts completion rates on longer surveys, and it's the one that makes a 3-person company look established. The catch is response caps on lower tiers: Basic runs about $25/mo billed annual
