Which FOSS options do you recommend for online surveys?

Hi, I was wondering which FOSS options have you used for online surveys and how was your experience using them, which ones would you recommend?

Cryptpad Forms or Framaforms are good for simple surveys. For more complex surveys there is Limesurvey.

There's CryptPad that has a form feature which you could use for surveys.

Gnu Guix recently had a user survey, and they used limesurvey

Limesurvey is good, but requires a payed plan for large scale surveys.

I think thats only if you let them host it, selfhosted is unlimited

How are you defining 'large scale surveys'?

There were no scale restrictions on V1 when I used it, how is V2 restricted?

From the Limesurvey features page:

LimeSurvey 2.x currently offers:

Unlimited number of surveys at the same time

Unlimited number of questions in a survey (only limited by your database)

Unlimited number of participants to a survey

Was about half a year back for a school survey. 6 - 10 participants and 1-5 survey lists. So it wasn't even that much, but at some point I reached a limit.

So not even that big of scale but it still came up

The limit you reached seems to be at odds with the Limesurvey docs.

I haven't used Limesurvey recently to know if it works at large scale without restrictions, maybe someone else can weigh in.

Maybe but it's still what I experienced 🤷

toothbrush mentioned above that the limits may apply if you use Limesurvey's hardware.

No limits if you self-host.

@chanteoma@lemmy.ml Drupal + Webform can do everything more expensive commercial form and survey solutions can do including FormAssemly, Formstack or Qualrics.

Haven't used it, but I am aware that Next loud has a forms plugin.
