Every European survey tool reviewed
Barcelona, Spain
Free tier / from $25 per month
Free tier
Best for: Businesses that need people to actually finish the form
Typeform's conversational format is the reason it exists and the reason it works. Presenting one question at a time turns what reads as a task into what reads as a conversation, and the effect on completion rates is real rather than aesthetic — for lead capture, onboarding, applications and customer research, more finished responses is the entire point.
Logic jumps route respondents past sections that do not apply, which shortens the perceived form without losing data. AI-powered form creation drafts a structure from a description rather than starting empty, video forms add a human presence at the top, and design and branding controls keep the result recognisably yours rather than recognisably Typeform.
The integrations ecosystem connects responses to the tools where the work happens, and analytics show where people dropped out — the metric that tells you which question is costing you responses.
Typeform SL is based in Barcelona under GDPR in an EU member state, which surprises people who assume it is American. Free tier with paid plans from $25 per month; response limits on lower tiers are the main constraint, and the conversational format suits short and medium forms better than a long research questionnaire.
What Typeform does well
- One-question-at-a-time format lifts completion rates
- Logic jumps shorten forms without losing data
- AI form creation and video questions
- Strong branding and design control
- Spanish company, EU jurisdiction under GDPR
Where Typeform falls short
- Response limits on lower tiers
- From $25/month for meaningful volume
- Conversational format less suited to long questionnaires
- No quota management for research use
Standout feature. One question at a time — a format change that raises completion more than any amount of question rewriting.
Brussels, Belgium
Free / Pro from $29 per month
Free plan with unlimited forms and responses
Best for: Teams wanting unlimited forms and responses without paying
Tally's free plan carries unlimited forms and unlimited responses, which is not how this category usually works and is the first thing worth knowing about it. For a small team, a side project or an organisation that simply needs forms, that removes the cost question entirely.
The editor is the second distinguishing thing: it works like Notion, so you type and formatting happens rather than dragging fields onto a canvas. Anyone who has used a modern document editor is productive immediately, with no builder interface to learn — which sounds minor and is the reason forms actually get made rather than delegated.
Underneath sit the capabilities that separate a form tool from a toy: conditional logic showing and hiding questions, calculations for quotes, scores and pricing, file uploads, and integrations connecting responses into workflow automation. Tally is based in Brussels under GDPR. Pro is $29 per month for branding removal, custom domains and advanced features. It is less visually distinctive than Typeform, has no quota management or advanced statistical analysis, and is not open source or self-hostable.
What Tally does well
- Unlimited forms and responses on the free plan
- Notion-style editor — no builder to learn
- Conditional logic, calculations and file uploads
- Integrations for workflow automation
- Belgian company, EU jurisdiction under GDPR
Where Tally falls short
- Less visually distinctive than Typeform
- No quota management or statistical analysis
- Not open source or self-hostable
- Pro at $29/month for branding and custom domains
Standout feature. Unlimited responses free, in an editor that works like Notion — the lowest-friction way to get a form made at all.
Hamburg, Germany
Founded 2003
Free self-hosted / LimeSurvey Cloud from about €29 per month
Free self-hosted
Best for: Academic research, employee surveys and anything needing verifiable anonymity
LimeSurvey handles the survey complexity that form builders cannot express. Complex branching and conditions, quotas that close a demographic cell once it is full, 28 question types including matrices and rankings, multilingual surveys maintained as a single instrument rather than several diverging copies, panel integration and statistical output with export — the combination that makes it standard across European universities.
Anonymity is the other reason it is chosen. Self-hosted, the responses sit on your own server with no third party involved and you remain the sole data controller; its anonymous response mode separates the invitation record from the answer so the link cannot be reconstructed even by an administrator. For an ethics committee or a works council, that is demonstrable rather than asserted — and it is the difference between staff answering honestly and answering safely.
It is GPLv2 and free self-hosted, with LimeSurvey Cloud from about €29 per month in German hosting for teams without a server. LimeSurvey GmbH has run from Hamburg since 2003. The costs are real: the interface is dated with a genuinely steeper learning curve, self-hosting requires operational capability, and the respondent experience is plainer than Typeform's — which matters more for a marketing survey than for a research instrument.
What LimeSurvey does well
- Handles genuinely complex research instruments
- Verifiable anonymity through self-hosting
- Quotas, 28 question types and multilingual instruments
- GPLv2 open source, no licence cost
- German company operating since 2003
Where LimeSurvey falls short
- Dated interface with a steeper learning curve
- Self-hosting requires operational capability
- Respondent experience plainer than rivals
- Overkill for a simple form
Standout feature. Anonymity you can demonstrate rather than promise — the responses never touch anyone else's server.
Stockholm, Sweden
Founded 2005
Custom pricing by programme and respondents
Contact sales
Best for: HR and CX teams running continuous feedback programmes
Netigate is built around programmes rather than surveys, and that distinction shapes everything about it. Employee engagement and eNPS, customer experience and NPS are measured repeatedly over time with benchmarking, so the output is a trend line showing whether something improved rather than a snapshot that gets presented once and filed.
Anonymity thresholds are its defining safeguard: results for any group below a minimum size are suppressed automatically, so a team of four cannot be identified by filtering a dashboard. European works councils ask for exactly that before approving an engagement survey, and having it built into the reporting rather than managed by policy is what gets the programme signed off.
HR system integration automates distribution as people join, move or leave, which is what makes a recurring programme sustainable instead of a quarterly manual exercise, and multilingual support covers a workforce across several countries. Netigate AB has operated from Stockholm since 2005 with EU data storage. Pricing is custom by programme and respondent volume with no self-serve tier, it is less flexible than LimeSurvey for open research, and its CX features are lighter than a dedicated customer experience platform.
What Netigate does well
- Anonymity thresholds built into reporting
- Designed for recurring programmes and trend analysis
- HR system integration for automated distribution
- Benchmarking over time and multilingual support
- Swedish company with EU data storage
Where Netigate falls short
- Custom pricing with no self-serve tier
- Less flexible than LimeSurvey for research
- CX features lighter than dedicated specialists
- Aimed at organisations rather than individuals
Standout feature. Automatic suppression below a minimum group size — the safeguard that gets an employee survey past the works council.
Rotterdam, Netherlands
Founded 2014
From about €259 per month
Demo on request
Best for: Digital, e-commerce and product teams improving specific journeys
Mopinion collects feedback where the problem happens. Forms sit inside websites and apps and fire on behaviour and events — after an abandoned checkout, on a failed search, following an error — so the response arrives attached to what the person was actually doing. That context is the difference between "the site is confusing" and knowing which step lost them.
The analysis side matters as much as the capture. Text analytics turn thousands of open-ended comments into themes rather than a spreadsheet nobody reads, NPS and CES measurement track the standard metrics, and dashboards plus integrations with analytics platforms let a product team correlate what people said with what they did.
Mobile SDKs extend the same triggering into apps. Mopinion BV is based in Rotterdam with EU hosting under GDPR, which for feedback that arrives with session context attached is doing real work. Pricing starts at about €259 per month, which is genuinely expensive next to a general survey tool, implementation needs developer involvement, and it is the wrong tool for research or HR surveys — comparing it with LimeSurvey on price is comparing different products.
What Mopinion does well
- Feedback captured in context, as the problem happens
- Behaviour and event-based triggering
- Text analytics turning open comments into themes
- Mobile SDKs and analytics integrations
- Dutch company, EU hosting
Where Mopinion falls short
- From about €259/month, expensive against general tools
- Not suited to research or HR surveys
- Needs developer involvement to implement
- Overhead for a site with low traffic
Standout feature. The form fires at the moment the checkout fails — feedback with the context still attached.
Copenhagen, Denmark
Founded 2000
Free tier with unlimited surveys and responses / paid plans for advanced features
Free tier
Best for: NGOs, consultants and Nordic organisations needing surveys with real reporting
Enalyzer's free tier includes unlimited surveys and unlimited responses, which makes it the practical default for anyone running a genuine project without a budget — an NGO, a consultant, a small research effort. Most free tiers in this category cap responses precisely where a real project begins.
Reporting is where it earns its place beyond that. Cross-tabulation lets you cut results by respondent characteristics rather than only viewing totals, live dashboards can be shared with stakeholders so results are watched as they arrive instead of presented weeks later, and the survey design side covers logic, distribution by email and link, and multilingual instruments.
Enalyzer A/S has operated from Copenhagen since 2000 with Danish hosting under GDPR — a long track record for this category. The honest limits: the more advanced analysis sits behind paid plans, the interface is dated compared with newer rivals, and its market presence is mainly Nordic, which shows in documentation, support hours and the size of the community you can ask for help.
What Enalyzer does well
- Free tier with unlimited surveys and responses
- Cross-tabulation and genuine reporting depth
- Live dashboards shareable with stakeholders
- Multilingual surveys with email and link distribution
- Danish hosting, operating since 2000
Where Enalyzer falls short
- Advanced analysis reserved for paid plans
- Dated interface
- Mainly Nordic market presence
- Respondent experience plainer than Typeform
Standout feature. Unlimited responses on the free tier with cross-tabulation on top — a real project, at no cost.
Zurich, Switzerland
Founded 2013
Free tier / paid from about CHF 15 per month
Free tier
Best for: Businesses wanting a presentable survey with Swiss hosting
SurveyHero occupies the gap between a form builder and a research platform: surveys that look good by default without a design step, and logic that covers real needs without a manual. Attractive, mobile-friendly layouts arrive out of the box, custom themes adapt them to a brand, and multilingual support covers audiences across several countries.
Branching and skip logic are straightforward rather than expansive, which is the right trade for the use it targets — a customer survey, a member questionnaire, an event follow-up — where LimeSurvey's capability would be overhead and a plain form would look careless. Response filtering handles the analysis side at the same level.
It is hosted in Switzerland by Enuvo GmbH in Zurich, so Swiss data protection applies under an EU adequacy decision rather than GDPR directly.
There is no advertising even on the free tier, which matters more than it sounds: ads on a survey undermine the credibility of whoever sent it. Free tier with paid plans from about CHF 15 per month. There is no quota management or advanced statistical analysis, the free tier is restricted, and Enuvo is a small company with a correspondingly limited integration ecosystem.
What SurveyHero does well
- Attractive, mobile-friendly surveys by default
- Straightforward branching and skip logic
- Multilingual survey support
- Swiss hosting under an EU adequacy decision
- No advertising even on the free tier
Where SurveyHero falls short
- No quota management or advanced analysis
- Restricted free tier
- Small company with limited integrations
- Swiss adequacy rather than EEA jurisdiction
Standout feature. No ads even on the free plan — because an advert on your survey is a statement about you, not about them.
Kiel, Germany
Hobby free (250 responses/month) / Pro $74 per month (2,000 responses) / Scale $325 per month (5,000 responses) / Enterprise on request; VAT treatment not stated; self-hosted core free
Free Hobby plan; 14-day Pro trial, no credit card
Best for: Teams that want to run the survey server themselves on AGPLv3 code
Formbricks is the second tool in this directory you can host yourself, and the more modern of the two.
The core is AGPLv3 on GitHub and the self-hosted core is free, which means link surveys, website surveys and in-app surveys can run entirely on your own machine with nobody else in the data path. The enterprise features live in a separate directory of the repository under their own Enterprise licence, so open source here covers the core rather than the whole product.
The hosted version is where the caveat sits. The pricing page says hosted in Frankfurt, and the infrastructure underneath is Amazon Web Services — a German company on an American cloud, which by this site's reading is not the same thing as a German company on German hardware.
The subprocessor list from the privacy policy, updated 21 August 2026, names AWS in Germany for database and email, PostHog EU, Sentry in Germany, Brevo in the EU, Google Cloud EU for opt-in AI features, Stripe in the United States, Plain in the United Kingdom and Cloudflare worldwide. Self-hosting is the way around all of it.
Formbricks GmbH is at Kuhnkestr. 6 in Kiel. The imprint gives no commercial register number and no founding year, and no certification such as ISO 27001 is published.
The hosted plans are Hobby free with 250 responses a month, Pro at $74 a month for 2,000 responses, Scale at $325 a month for 5,000 and Enterprise on request, with unlimited seats from Pro and a 14-day Pro trial without a credit card — priced in dollars, with no statement of how VAT is handled.
What Formbricks does well
- AGPLv3 core that can be self-hosted at no licence cost
- Link, website and in-app surveys in one product
- Unlimited seats from the Pro plan
- Hosted plans priced publicly, with a 14-day Pro trial and no credit card
- German company in Kiel, with a published subprocessor list
Where Formbricks falls short
- The hosted version runs on Amazon Web Services — Frankfurt, but American infrastructure
- No certification such as ISO 27001 is published
- Priced in dollars, with VAT treatment not stated
- Stripe (US), Plain (UK) and Cloudflare (worldwide) sit in the subprocessor list
- The imprint gives no register number and no founding year
Standout feature. Self-host the AGPLv3 core and the AWS question disappears — take the hosted plan and it does not.
Brno, Czech Republic
Founded 2012
Free (100 responses/month) / Mini €16 / Standard €29 / PRO Business €70 per month billed monthly (€13 / €21 / €54 per month billed annually), excl. VAT
Free plan
Best for: A permanent free plan on hosting that stays in Czech hands
Survio publishes its prices and keeps a free plan that does not expire: 100 responses a month, indefinitely. Above it, Mini is €16, Standard €29 and PRO Business €70 per month billed monthly, falling to €13, €21 and €54 per month on an annual commitment, all excluding VAT. That entry price is the lowest of the paid tiers in this directory, and the 19 question types include NPS, which is usually where a cheap tool stops.
The hosting is the part worth reading closely. The privacy policy names NETHOST s.r.o. in Brno as the server provider and the data processing agreement commits to processing exclusively in the European Union or the European Economic Area — a Czech company on a Czech provider rather than a European front end on an American platform.
There is one documented exception: bulk email invitations go out through Twilio SendGrid in the United States, so respondent email addresses reach a US processor even though the responses do not. Intercom in Ireland handles support.
Survio s.r.o. is in Brno and was formally launched in April 2012, although the company itself has existed in the Czech register since August 2008.
Since 1 November 2024 it has been wholly owned by ABUGO Group SE in Ostrava, a Czech holding that also owns Shopsys, Reservio and Smartsupp and describes them as backed by the same investors — investors it does not name, and the register does not list shareholders for the SE either. The ISO 27001:2022 claim appears as a footer badge with no certificate published, and there is no source code to inspect.
What Survio does well
- Free plan of 100 responses a month with no expiry
- Paid plans from €16 per month, or €13 on an annual commitment
- Servers at NETHOST s.r.o. in Brno, with processing contractually limited to the EU/EEA
- 19 question types including NPS, with email invitations and webhooks
- Czech company in Brno, launched in 2012
Where Survio falls short
- Email invitations are sent through Twilio SendGrid in the United States
- ISO 27001:2022 appears as a website badge; no certificate is published
- Owned since November 2024 by ABUGO Group SE, whose investors are not named anywhere
- Closed source, with no self-hosted option
- Free plan caps at 100 responses a month
Standout feature. A Czech survey tool on a Czech server provider — with the one US exception written down rather than hidden.
Berlin, Germany
Free (50 participants per survey) / Basic €49 / Gold €99 / Platin €199 / Enterprise €499 per month, or 10× the monthly price per year; excl. VAT
Free tier; 14-day free trial of almost all features; free student plan (3 months, renewable)
Best for: German-only hosting with the certificates to match
LamaPoll keeps survey data on its own machines and nowhere else. Its licence page states that storage occurs exclusively on LamaPoll's servers in the Federal Republic of Germany, with no hyperscaler anywhere in the chain — which is a different proposition from a German company renting capacity in a Frankfurt region of an American cloud. The operator of the data centre behind those servers is not named, and that is the one gap in an otherwise unusually plain story.
The certification is where it separates itself from most of this category. LamaPoll states that the entire company, not merely a rented data centre, is certified to ISO 27001, ISO 27017 and ISO 27018, and holds TISAX as well — the assessment German automotive buyers ask suppliers for. Elsewhere in this list the ISO certificate usually belongs to the hosting provider, which is a weaker claim than it looks when a procurement questionnaire asks who was actually audited.
Prices are published in full: free for 50 participants per survey, then Basic €49, Gold €99, Platin €199 and Enterprise €499 per month excluding VAT, or ten times the monthly price for a year.
There is a 14-day trial of almost all features and a free student plan running three months and renewable. The operator is Lamano GmbH & Co.
KG in Berlin, registered as HRA 53976 B at Amtsgericht Charlottenburg with Lamas GmbH as its personally liable partner. The footer says 2007 to 2026 but no founding year is published, white label and SSO sit on the higher tiers only, and there is no source code to inspect or self-host.
What LamaPoll does well
- Survey data stored exclusively on LamaPoll's own servers in Germany
- ISO 27001, ISO 27017 and ISO 27018 for the whole company, plus TISAX
- Prices published in full, from €49 to €499 per month
- 14-day trial of almost all features, and a renewable free student plan
- Berlin partnership with its register entry and liable partner in the imprint
Where LamaPoll falls short
- The data centre operator behind those German servers is not named
- No founding year published — the footer only reaches back to 2007
- Closed source, with no self-hosted option
- Free tier stops at 50 participants per survey
- White label and SSO only from the higher tiers
Standout feature. The company itself is certified, not just the data centre it rents — a distinction procurement questionnaires are built to catch.
Koblenz, Germany
Founded 2010
Free (100 participants per survey, 10 questions) / Starter €39 per month or €390 per year / Business €790 per year / Professional €948 per year / Enterprise on request / single survey from €159; excl. VAT
Free plan
Best for: Buying one survey outright instead of renting a subscription
easyfeedback sells a single survey as a licence from €159, which almost nothing else in this category does.
For an organisation that runs one member consultation or one event evaluation a year, that removes the awkward routine of subscribing for a month and remembering to cancel. Alongside it sit a free plan capped at 100 participants and 10 questions per survey, Starter at €39 per month or €390 per year, Business at €790 per year, Professional at €948 per year and Enterprise on request, all excluding VAT.
The hosting statement is short and absolute: the privacy policy says the servers stand and remain in Germany, in the data centre of Cronon GmbH, and names no foreign servers and no cloud services. The ISO 27001 on the pricing page is attached to that server location — it is the data centre's certificate, not an audit of easyfeedback itself, and the difference matters if your compliance team reads the certificate rather than the badge.
The operator is easyfeedback GmbH in Koblenz, HRB 26067 at Amtsgericht Koblenz, run by Dennis Wegner, who according to the company's own about page also founded it; it has been on the market since 2010.
Results export to Excel, PDF and SPSS, which is what makes the output usable by someone doing the analysis elsewhere. The jump from Starter to Business is steep and the two upper tiers are sold annually only, the free plan is tight enough to be a demonstration rather than a working plan, and there is no source code and no self-hosting.
What easyfeedback does well
- Single-survey licence from €159, with no subscription to cancel
- Servers in Germany only, in the Cronon GmbH data centre, with no cloud services named
- Full price list published, from €39 per month to €948 per year
- Exports to Excel, PDF and SPSS for analysis elsewhere
- Koblenz company on the market since 2010, with its register entry in the imprint
Where easyfeedback falls short
- The ISO 27001 belongs to the Cronon data centre, not to easyfeedback itself
- Free plan capped at 100 participants and 10 questions per survey
- Business and Professional are sold annually only, at €790 and €948
- Closed source, with no self-hosted option
Standout feature. A licence for one survey at €159 — the honest answer for an organisation that surveys once a year.
Helsinki, Finland
Founded 2002
Custom quote; no published prices
Demo on request
Best for: Finnish public-sector and organisational feedback where procurement asks for Katakri
Webropol is the oldest company in this list after Enalyzer: Webropol Oy at Huovitie 3 in Helsinki, business ID FI-17739602, registered in the Finnish trade register on 18 July 2002 and still active at the same address. It covers collection by web, email, SMS and QR code, AI text analysis on open answers, and real-time BI View dashboards — a feedback platform for organisations rather than a form builder for a marketing team.
The compliance list is the reason a Finnish municipality or agency shortlists it.
The servers are a redundant ISO 27001-certified environment located in Finland, with the privacy policy stating no processing outside the EU and EEA, and alongside the ISO certificate sit Cyber Essentials, Katakri TL III compliance and WCAG 2.1 AA — the accessibility standard a public body is legally obliged to meet and that few survey vendors state at all. What is missing is the name: the company operating those Finnish servers is never identified, and no subprocessors are listed either.
There are no published prices. Every route to a number goes through a demo request, which makes Webropol impossible to compare on cost against Survio at €16 a month or LamaPoll at €49 without first talking to a salesperson, and rules it out for anyone who needs to sign up this afternoon.
Ownership is the other open question: neither the vendor's own pages nor the Finnish register's open data name a shareholder, so whether the company is European-owned could not be established from either source.
What Webropol does well
- ISO 27001-certified server environment in Finland, with no processing outside the EU/EEA
- Cyber Essentials, Katakri TL III compliance and WCAG 2.1 AA stated by the vendor
- Collection by web, email, SMS and QR code in one platform
- AI text analysis and real-time BI View dashboards
- Helsinki company, in the Finnish register since July 2002
Where Webropol falls short
- No prices published at all — every plan runs through a demo request
- The operator of the Finnish servers is not named, and no subprocessors are listed
- No shareholders named on the site or in the Finnish register's open data
- Closed source, with no self-hosted option
- Built for organisations; there is no self-serve sign-up
Standout feature. Katakri TL III and WCAG 2.1 AA stated up front — written for a public-sector procurement form, and priced by one too.
