    Looking for survey freeware that is user-friendly, easy to format, and dumps easily into spreadsheet programmes. Found surveygizmo, SurveyMonkey, and QuestionPro in a brief web search. Any others?

    If you have personally used any free online survey programmes to collect data, please share your pros and cons, comments, and recommendations here. Thanks.

    I've seen a few people use google docs to create a form that drops the results into a spreadsheet. I'm not sure how flexible it is though.

    SurveyMonkey seems to be the go to choice in most of the academic surveys I've participated in.

    I have not used SurveyMonkey. Is there a limit on the number of variables or questions or pages or whatever? If so, do you have to pay to exceed that limit, or is the limit fixed?

    Is it user-friendly? Is it easy to dump into a spreadsheet programme? What statistical packages are easiest to interface with when using SurveyMonkey for data collection?

    I've used survey monkey before and found it very useful. But it was for simple data collection I'm not sure if it can do what you're asking

    For surveymonkey to remain free I think you can only ask a restricted number of questions in any particular survey (I think it's 10). So it is limited, but on the plus side that does mean you get more precise in your questioning to ensure you get answers you can use

    PS, would it be worth your while doing a list with links etc to these (and the stats ones in your other post) to have a resources type sticky thread for the forum?

    You need to have a look at qualtrics.com, very very good software and not to hard to use. I know a lot of PhD students that like it over SurveyMonkey.
