SURVEY MONKEY

SurveyMonkey is an online service that allows users to create and run professional online surveys. It is very powerful and a well known online application. This service offers both a free account and a paid account that includes enhanced features.

The basic plan allows you to have only 10 questions per survey with a maximum of 100 responses per survey (you can have unlimited questions and responses per survey in the premium plans).

Using the web interface, you can choose from 31 survey templates (or 51 in premium) and 15 types of questions.

The questions you can add to your survey span three categories – close-ended, open-ended, and descriptive.

You can have single answer, multiple choice with multiple answers, rating scale, and 3 matrix type questions in the close-ended category. Single textbox, multiple textboxes, essay box, numerical textboxes, demographic details, and date/time box options can be chosen from the open-ended questions. This is more than sufficient to create high-quality professional surveys for your users.
