LimeSurvey is an open source online survey platform for building and running advanced surveys.

Can LimeSurvey be self-hosted?

Yes. LimeSurvey can run on a PHP-ready web server with a supported database.

Does LimeSurvey support branching logic?

Yes. LimeSurvey supports skip logic and question branching for conditional survey paths.

LimeSurvey: Open Source Alternative to SurveyMonkey and Typeform

Survey tools become expensive and restrictive when response volume, branching logic, branding, or privacy requirements grow. Research teams, schools, governments, and companies often collect sensitive answers, yet many hosted survey products store response data in a vendor account and gate advanced features behind paid tiers. Teams need a way to run serious surveys without losing control of data or customization.
