To countIs the best free tool for making surveys. They look better and more flexible than Google forms, and they are just as easy to make in 60 seconds. Use it for every form of survey, whether you get feedback from customers or students, collecting RSVPs or collecting ideas.
Get started:Choose a template or an empty page. Add questions: multiple choice, open text, ranking ormany others. You can ask respondents to upload a file or make a payment. To improve your design, add text blocks, images or videos between questions.
My 7 Favorite Tests

- Privacy. The company is located in Belgium and meets the strict AVG rules of Europe. The software respects the privacy of people.

Alternatives
Tally has published his owncomparisonsWith other tools. But here is my view of other good survey tools to consider the next time you make a form.
- Free and fast:Google formsWorks with your existing Google account. It is functional for registration forms or simple feedback studies, but the functions and the design have stagnated over the past decade.
- Elegant and professional:TypePresents questions one by one, making it less overwhelming for respondents of survey than traditional survey tools. It remains fantasticfor several reasons. However, it is expensive and the advanced functions are complex.
- Flexible and easy:Notion FormsWith this you can now include surveys that export data to multiple places. They are more flexible thanSurvey MonkeyorMicrosoft Formswho have the stiff design feeling made of enterprise tools made for mass market feedback.
- Premium for companies:Datesis another premium alternative to companies. You can adjust fonts and colors and integrate a form into your CRM or a database. Or try oneYou have an agent.
- For Do -the -Self -flexibility:CodaWorks well for both forms and documents. This helps you to organize survey answers within existing documents.
- For team productivity:AerialSuch as CODA, you can make forms with answers that flow directly into tables. This helps you to efficiently sort, filter, filter and share the results.
- For preferred ranking:Opinionx is another specialized survey tool that I used and recommend for stacking rankings – the assessment of customer preferences. Ask people to compare a series of paired options to help set priorities.
