Which one is for you
Pick FreeOnlineSurveys if
- Fits if you need a one-off survey or quiz that closes within 14 days
- Works for people who want payments or a calculator inside the same form
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if you run a survey longer than 14 days, because free projects stop collecting then
- Pricey if you need exports or cross-tabulation, which are paid
- Watch out: prices are in pounds only, and the paid plans are sold under the Shout name
- Watch out: the inbox feature on paid plans is labelled coming soon
Pick Typeform if
- Fits if you want branded lead forms and quizzes with scoring and branching
- Works for surveys small enough to fit a monthly response cap
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if you stay free, as the plan stops at 10 responses a month across all forms
- Pricey if you get lots of answers or need more people: 1,000 responses and 3 users mean Plus at $56 a month billed yearly
- Not for you if you want forms on your own domain or custom fonts, which are Enterprise only
- Watch out: file uploads, payments and removing the badge all need a paid plan, and Basic covers a single user
- Watch out: the only trial is 14 days of Growth Flow at $266 a month, and it needs a credit card

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
