Typeform, a form, poll, and survey creator
Poll and survey creators
Description: Typeform is an online platform for creating forms, surveys, and quizzes. Users can design custom forms with dragging and dropping a variety of question types, including multiple choice, short answer, and rating scales. It also offers ready-made templates that can be used and edited, together with the possibility to create from scratch. Later, users can share their content through a link. Typeform offers a limited free version and does only require an email address for registration. It is available in desktop and mobile device versions. Typeform was founded in 2012 by Robert Muñoz and David Okuniev in Barcelona.
Evaluation: Typeform is a handy and intuitive tool to create forms, surveys, and quizzes. A downside is that its free plan allows users to gather only 10 answers from all created content, although the amount of forms, surveys, and quizzes is unlimited.
Cost: Free limited version with registration + paid plans available.
