Kwik Survey is totally free and has unlimited questions and answers.
 

Polldaddy's update last year enables you now to do not just polls, but also full-fledged surveys. However, like SurveyMonkey, you have to pay for a subscription if you want to include more than a certain number of questions and respondents. It also limits the number of surveys you can do in a year. If you want to do bigger or more frequent surveys but for free, you might check out SurveyBob.com. It has a nice simple interface and doesn't have lots of templates. However, 9 times out of 10 it can do whatever I need, and it is free. Hope this helps!
 

Psychdata also has a free version. they focus on psychology research and support real reasearch features, like export to SPSS.
 

Here is another one called Surveypirate. Actually it has no limitations and is completely free.
It is still in Beta mode but works fine.

Give Feedbackfarm.com a try. It is completely free (unlimited responses, unlimited questions) and has great customer support. I like the fact that it has easy to use templates to get you started.
 

I recommend www.intrestool.com:
free version includes 500 respondents, 5 surveys + free templates for different purposes.
 

Wow - thanks for all the other survey tool suggestions. I knew there were more out there but there's a whole range. Extra special thanks to those of you that took the time to post the data in comparison chart mode.

I'll post a consolidated chart soon and create or complete the details for Kwiksurvey, SurveyBob, PsychData, PollDaddy, Feedbackfarm etc.

Good point made about PollDaddy - they do have full blown surveys and I like their polls.

Feedbackfarm has a nice clean help page and a good review from Business Week so that's on my list to check out soon.

Loved Aaron's point that you often don't need unlimited or dozens of questions -- good luck finding someone to complete a 20 min. survey.
 

Anyone know of a Canadian online survey tool? Anything where data is stored in the U.S. make the challenge of getting ethics approval much greater as participants must be warned about the risk of being subject to the Patriot Act.
 

QuestionPro is unreliable. You cannot access the site late ate night. Also, I administered a survey for my dissertation and the site crashed while people were taking the survey.... It sucks.

That's a great question - an online "free" Canadian survey tool.

I know of Canadian companies that are in the online survey business. At one time, many moons ago, I evaluated free and inexpensive survey tools that you install yourself and picked one to install for a Canadian non-profit web site to use.

Anyone else had problems with QuestionPro besides this anonymous poster? I approved this comment because it appears legit - someone had a frustrating experience.

I love the comments - I think they're so useful **BUT** I had ANOTHER negative comment about QuestionPro (also anonymous) and it's lacking details about the specific experience and generalizing and that makes me concerned about how useful/authentic it is.

I really prefer when folks criticize that they own their words and don't do it anonymously. Now that Blogger offers OpenID, as well a Blogger, as well as the option of leaving your name/URL, I prefer comments to be signed, especially when someone is really nixing a product.

Is the Question Pro free version simply the Free 30 day trial? Otherwise how often is your survey allowance (2 Surveys) renewed? Monthly? Yearly? So I guess I'm asking is it actually a free version or just a free trial that has been cleverly worded? Many thanks.
 

Teepee

I talked to their LiveChat support person who was really helpful - answered promptly. It's a two survey account so you can delete one and then create it with new questions and so on.

So it is a "free version".

Of course, I'm sure they hope that people who try it will outgrow the free version or just try it out and decide to buy one of the other versions.
 

I've checked www.intrestool.com

They have a pretty good stuff. Quite underrated system, if think.

As i know, their last version has new design and a little bit of new functions. But, the main thing is that free solution has following set-up: 10.000 contacts in your database. No ads, no limits on number of users and surveys. + 5 simple ready feedback tools.

That's amazing.
 

There is also AskItOnline - a new Canadian company that allows you to easily create and conduct online surveys.

The servers are located in Canada so it eliminates that barrier that the Patriot Act has created. Additionally, in some provinces (Like British Columbia), it is illegal to store that information on servers located outside of Canada!

You should look up Zoomerang's features now, they have changed their basic limitations and have unlimited access to survey results now.

Their price has also gone way down.
 

Fluidsurveys.com is Free Online Survey software that is hosted in Canada by a Canadian Company. It is used by Federal Gov't Departments, Universities, Colleges, etc...
 

In my spare time I spent a couple of yeasr coding on a survey solution available at http://obsurvey.com
It's completely free, no ads or "powered by".
 

Hi, I am using Question Pro for my master thesis and i have the corporate edition for 99$ a month. I am not really satisfied. When setting my questions (275 in total) up it is not really reliable to jump from one question to another based on a chosen criteria. I have to face my professor now in half an hour and i am not sure what to say, that we have to start over again and have to search for a better program?
I can not recommend Question Pro and would be interested if i am the only one who have such problems with the program?
My problems in detail:
first it numbered all the new questions with the same number (which is a problem by working with the data later)
Than it doesnt jump right when options like compound/delay or hide/show are applied (which makes it impossible to use it for my purpose)

I'd recommend impressity.com. It is 100% free, unlimited questions, unlimited responses, unlimited themes. Everything is real time.

Coolest thing about impressity is that you can embed the survey in any web page by just copy&paste. You can also analyze the data using some awesome tools to do chronological, geographical analysis, etc.

I'd highly recommend impressity.
 

I want to thank the blogger very much not only for this post but also for his all previous efforts. I found library2.usask.ca to be greatly interesting. I will be coming back to library2.usask.ca for more information.
