QuestionPro? AYTM? SurveyGizmo? Zoomerang?

We get a lot of questions from people evaluating low-cost online survey platforms. And given that there are now more than 50 options available (see partial list at the end of this article), it is a bit confusing.

Before you start evaluating options, consider these checklist items:

• Do you want a platform that integrates with a third party for panel access, or do you plan to provide your own sample?
• Do you need support for constant sum, rating, and semantic differential scales?
• Do you want to be able to impose complex quota rules?

• Do you want to be able to set up a library of commonly used questions or survey designs?
• Do you prefer simple questionnaire designs (perhaps for colleagues who may find more advanced options confusing)?
• Do you plan to do data analysis in the platform itself, or will you be exporting to SPSS or other programs?
• Do you want to customize and automate delivery of reports to colleagues?

Depending on your answers, your platform needs will vary.

In fact, a “yes” answer to 2 or 3 of these will narrow your field of options down considerably.
