Google Forms, for most small businesses: it is free, adds logic that skips questions that do not apply, and exports every response to Google Sheets. Tally is the better-looking free option, with unlimited forms and submissions within fair use; Pro at $24 a month removes its branding. Pick Typeform when the look of a conversational form matters more than cost, but Basic is 39 USD a month (28 billed yearly) for only 100 responses a month. SurveyMonkey is the research tool, priced in rupees in India: Team Advantage is ₹1,550 per user a month billed yearly for three or more users, and it can sell you respondents when you have no list. SurveySparrow's free plan (75 responses a quarter) suits quick NPS checks, and Microsoft Forms is the free choice for a team on Microsoft 365. The rule: start on Google Forms or Tally, and pay only when you need a response panel, your own branding or a team.
