Free survey software comparison chart 2012
Last year we have created our first comparison chart of free survey software providers. Because in the meantime, one of the companies that appeared in the side-by-side comparison chart was acquired by another, and some of the features these companies offered for free changed, we are now ready to present the 2012 edition of our free survey software comparison chart.
Zoomerang is the company acquired by SurveyMonkey, so they will not appear in our chart anymore. Also, SurveyMonkey and QuestionPro removed a lot of features from the free account. As a new entry, we are welcoming SurveyExpression. SurveyExpression was launched this year and they already proved to be the survey tool that many users waited for to appear.
This year, we will focus on the same features: number of surveys allowed for free, number of questions per survey, number of responses, question types, skip logic, piping, reporting, data export and others.
So, here is the 2012 free online survey tools chart:
| Feature free/trial account |
Survey Monkey | Survey Expression | eSurveysPro | Survey Gizmo | QuestionPro |
| Number of surveys | Unlimited | Unlimited | Unlimited | Unlimited | 1 |
| Number of questions per survey | 10 | Unlimited | Unlimited | Unlimited | 10 |
| Number of responses | 100/survey | 200/survey | Unlimited | 250/month | 100/account |
| Number of question types | 15 | 18 | 14 | 21 | 15 |
| Skip logic | No | Yes | Yes | No | No |
| Piping | No | No | No | No | No |
| Multiple languages supported | No | No | No | No | No |
| Brand survey with your own logo | No | Yes | Yes | No | No |
| Online survey reports | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Download/export responses | No | Yes | No | Yes | No |
And the winner is …
Based on the above features, if you need a free survey software tool, we recommend you to use SurveyExpression. SurveyExpression is the best free online survey software tool that we were able to try.

I registered with survey expression based on this review only to find all the things I need are disappearing in 2 days. They are still advertising that they are best free site as per your survey which seems like false advertising to me. I will not be upgrading to a paid account as I am a student and at this point only need one survey. Disappointed in wasting my time and not easy to deregister. 🙁
I’ve tried all of these web-sites and although they all provide some good features, the best one for me is http://www.addpoll.com. Plenty of great features with the free version and more than affordable prices if you decide you need a pro version. Great customer support, too! These guys can customize almost anything for you.
