Best for surveys hosted and processed in Canada
SimpleSurvey hosts and processes data in Canada and covers multilingual surveys, logic and cross-tab reports. There is no free plan, only a 15-day trial. SMS invitations, SSO and integrations need Enterprise, and PRO and TEAM are priced per user.
Who SimpleSurvey is for

Who SimpleSurvey is not for

- Not for you if you need SMS invitations, SSO or integrations, which are Enterprise
- Watch out: the page shows plain dollar signs, and a Canadian company may be quoting Canadian dollars

Keep SimpleSurvey, or make your own?
Your call
A form at its plainest is questions, a button and a table of answers.
You could make the core of SimpleSurvey for yourself: surveys, forms and reports. What you would give up is listed below. Whether that is worth the price is your call. It costs $372 a year.
What you could make
- Surveys, forms and reports: an app builder makes these well.
- It runs in a browser, which is where something home-made would run too.
What you could not
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
What this rests on. SimpleSurvey’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
