SurveyMonkey is NOT a free service

I just got burned by a classic bait and switch thanks to SurveyMonkey, so I thought I'd spread the word.

I posted a single question survey, and after it was already up and running I got notified that I will not be able to see the results for free since I have over 100 respondents. It's going to cost me $24. That's one, single-question survey, friends.

Be warned.

Hey Ellen ! That's exactly what happened with me few months back. I had a research and it required me to have opinion of some 10 people to know what they feel about my designs(I am an Interior Designer). i send it out but saw an upgrade required by Survey Monkey. That was really frustrating because i needed just one survey with 10 responses. I went ahead to do some R n D for a tool which allows me to see those responses in it's Free account also. Found one www.sogosurvey.com which actually allowed me not 10 but 100 responses. I was happy i had not to shed a penny.
