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?

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

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

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.

@[email protected] 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.
