LimeSurvey: The Open-Source Survey Tool Built for Everyone

Since 2006, LimeSurvey has been quietly powering surveys around the globe. It’s not just another form builder—it's a comprehensive, open-source platform used by businesses, universities, governments, researchers, and curious HR managers like Anja (who’s hiring, by the way). Whether you're surveying employees or launching global academic research, LimeSurvey offers the flexibility and control needed to get it right.

Unlike big-name tools like SurveyMonkey or Typeform, LimeSurvey doesn’t put you in a box. It’s free, fully open-source, and has no hidden paywalls for features you actually need. It gives you complete ownership over your data and design—without vendor lock-in.

Built for Real-World Use

LimeSurvey isn't just a tool—it’s an adaptable ecosystem. Whether you’re collecting customer feedback, conducting field studies, or launching multilingual surveys across continents, LimeSurvey handles the complexity with ease. Privacy is baked in from the start, with GDPR compliance and features like data anonymization, closed-access surveys, and two-factor authentication.

You can run as many surveys as you like. Use over 30 different question types, build complex branching logic, or keep it simple with a clean and intuitive survey editor. It even supports custom branding with your own fonts, colors, logos, CSS, and JavaScript.

From QR code sharing to fine-grained user permissions, LimeSurvey adapts to your needs—whether you’re a startup with big ambitions or a university department conducting longitudinal research.

For Educators, Researchers, and Institutions

LimeSurvey is especially popular in education and research, thanks to its balance of simplicity and power. Institutions can manage unlimited surveys and participants, assign user roles, and deploy surveys in over 80 languages. Translations are quick and straightforward, ensuring accessibility and inclusivity.

Because it’s open source, you also get the freedom to extend and integrate. Want to hook into your LDAP, SAML, or SURFconext systems? No problem. Need a RemoteControl API or REST interface for automation? Covered. LimeSurvey even supports plugins for extra audit logs, export formats, and authentication methods.

Hosting and Security You Can Trust

Security is a top priority. Surveys and responses are encrypted, data is stored securely, and you can choose from multiple hosting locations across Germany, Canada, the U.S., Australia, Singapore, and the U.K. If you're running your own server, LimeSurvey plays nicely there too.

And for organizations that want a polished, on-brand experience, there are white-label options, domain aliasing, and plugin customizations to make LimeSurvey feel like your own.

Get Started—Your Way

LimeSurvey isn't just about building surveys. It's about building better decisions through smarter data collection. Whether you're polling students, collecting field data, or launching a large-scale internal assessment, LimeSurvey delivers the tools to ask the right questions—and get meaningful answers.

No gimmicks, no bloat. Just clean, powerful, open-source software ready to help you squeeze every last drop of insight from your audience.
