Questions about alternatives to ngSurvey

What is the best open source alternative to ngSurvey?

By GitHub stars it is Formbricks, with 13,240 stars and a commit on 13 Nov. Choose Formbricks when you want a free Community Edition to self-host and pay only once you need SSO, workflows or AI analysis. Next come LimeSurvey (3,797 stars).

Is there a free alternative to ngSurvey?

Yes. The code of all 2 is public under AGPL 3.0 or GPL 2.0 or later, so you can use them with no licence fee. Running one yourself costs the server and your time to look after it, and some makers also sell a hosted plan.

How do I choose between them?

Start from the job you use ngSurvey for. Choose LimeSurvey when you want a free GPL survey tool on your own PHP server, with branching and 80+ languages for research.

Which ngSurvey alternatives can I host on my own server?

All 2: Formbricks and LimeSurvey. Each tool's page says what it needs to run.

Which ones are still being worked on?

All 2 we track had a commit in the last 30 days, among them Formbricks and LimeSurvey. A recent commit shows the project is kept up, not that it will stay that way.

What licences do they use?

AGPL 3.0 (1), GPL 2.0 or later (1). GPL and AGPL ask you to share your changes under the same licence when you give the software to others, and AGPL also counts letting people use it over a network.

What do I lose by leaving ngSurvey?

The hosting. ngSurvey's maker runs the servers for you; with an open source tool the updates, backups, security fixes and support are yours, unless you take the maker's hosted plan. Features differ too, so check what each one imports and exports before you move your data.
