10 FREE ONLINE SURVEY/POLLING TOOLS

Here are 10 free online survey/polling tools (Selected using my sixth sense!), which you might want to explore further:
  1. SurveyMonkey.com - Powerful tool for creating and running web surveys (including visual reporting). The free version provides several limitations (e.g. limited number of questions and respondents), but if you are creative you can do your stuff. Anyway, the commercial version is quite affordable (if needed)!
  2. Polldaddy - Create free online surveys (e.g. market research) and polls. Excellent for polls!
  3. FreeOnlineSurveys.com - Create online surveys, polls and questionnaires for any number of uses.
  4. fo.reca.st - Allows you to design free online surveys, collect responses from the visitors of your blog or website, analyze them and finally present the survey results.
  5. SurveyGizmo - Web surveys, Polls, Forms, Quizzes, Landing Pages. Free and commercial version.
  6. Quibblo - A free tool that enables you easily to create your own quizzes, fun surveys & tests online.
  7. LimeSurvey.org - A good open source survey tool. You need to download and install on a server. It includes +20 different question types, and basic statistical and graphical analysis with an export facility.
  8. VTSurvey - Is a web-based tool which enables end users to autonomously create and run online surveys, feedback or registration forms (4 question types). You need to download and Install on a server. Although, it has limited tools, question types and reporting features, it is extremely easy-to-use.
  9. BuzzDash - Create and share polls. Built upon individual polling modules called buzzbites™, BuzzDash provides a real-time forum where people can solicit, measure and share opinions on nearly any issue.
