Free survey review

Send us your survey. We'll tell you what's broken.

Email us a survey link and the questionnaire. We run the survey through SurveyTester, a QA expert reads every result, and you get a written report of what we found. Free. No account to create, nothing to install, nothing to cancel.

Email your survey for reviewOr write to info@surveytester.com. The address is all you need.

Every survey gets tested. The question is by whom.

Either your team finds the broken skip, the grid that falls apart on a phone and the answer option that never made it from the questionnaire into the script. Or your respondents find them, one abandoned interview at a time, and you find out when the data comes back. A review before fieldwork is the cheap version of that story. This one is free.

What we look at

Survey bots walk through your survey the way respondents do. The automatic checks go over every page. Then a human reads it all and writes down what matters.

Routing and logic

Skips that do not skip, terminations that do not terminate, quota cells that cannot be reached, loops that never end. Shown on a routing diagram of the paths the bots actually took.

Questionnaire versus survey

Your Word, PDF or Excel questionnaire against the live survey: missing or extra answer options, changed wording, exclusive options, randomization, piping and termination rules.

Mobile

Screenshots of every page on iPhone and Android. Grids that overflow, buttons that vanish, text that wraps where it should not.

Technical defects

Missing images, visible HTML, unresolved piped text, duplicate or empty labels, survey error messages, numeric ranges that overlap or leave gaps.

Language and text

Spelling, text in the wrong language, inconsistent option labels, placeholder text that was never replaced.

Accessibility

Color contrast, alt text, labels and focus visibility against WCAG 2.1, the European Accessibility Act and Section 508, scored per page.

Personal data

Pages that ask for personal data, including the GDPR Article 9 and 10 categories, flagged so you know before the first respondent does.

How it works

  1. 1

    You send one email

    To info@surveytester.com: the survey link and the questionnaire as Word, PDF or Excel. Tell us the languages and anything you would like us to look at closely.

  2. 2

    We test

    We set up the project in SurveyTester, let the bots run the routes, take the mobile screenshots and run the checks. Then a QA expert goes through the results by hand.

  3. 3

    You read the report

    Findings with page, screenshot and severity, in your inbox. Fix them, forward them to your scripter, or use the report as a benchmark for your own QA. A walkthrough call is yours if you want one.

What to put in the email

  • A test link to the live survey. One that does not count against quotas or real sample. A test-mode link is ideal.
  • The questionnaire. Word, PDF or Excel, attached as it is. One language is enough.
  • The languages you care about. We pick one or two with you if there are many.
  • What worries you most. Complex routing, a new template, a translation, a client who tests on a phone. Optional, but it sharpens the review.
  • Your name, company and business email address. So the report reaches the right desk.

The fine print, in plain words

Free means free.

No invoice, no obligation to buy, no trial account created behind your back.

One survey per company.

For a first review. Multi-language surveys are welcome; we agree the languages with you.

Confidential.

Your survey and documents are used only for the review and deleted on request. Operated by 2x4 Solutions GmbH in Germany under GDPR.

A review, not a sign-off.

We show what SurveyTester finds in one pass. Your QA process stays yours; our report is a second pair of eyes, not a release certificate.

Business addresses only.

We review surveys for companies and institutions, not for private individuals.

Questions people ask before they press send

How long does the review take?

Usually within five business days after we have a working survey link and the questionnaire. We confirm receipt by email and tell you the date you can expect the report.

Do I have to send the questionnaire document?

No, a survey link alone works. With the questionnaire as Word, PDF or Excel we can compare what the document says with what the survey does, and that comparison is where most of the serious findings come from.

Which survey systems can you review?

We fully support Forsta Decipher and Confirmit, Qualtrics, IBM SPSS / Unicom Dimensions, Askia, Nfield, Sawtooth, Voxco, LimeSurvey, IntelliSurvey, Tivian, SurveyMonkey, Alchemer and more. For other systems the review covers what the generic checks find: missing images, mobile screenshots, accessibility and text checks.

What does the report look like?

A written document, one finding per entry: what is wrong, on which page, with a screenshot, rated Info, Warning or Error. You can forward it to your scripter as it is.

Is our survey safe with you?

Yes. We treat your survey link, questionnaire and test data as confidential, use them only for the review and delete them on request. SurveyTester is operated by 2x4 Solutions GmbH in Mettenheim, Germany, under GDPR.

What happens after the report?

You decide. We ask once whether you would like to see how the findings were produced. Many teams continue with a free pilot on their next project or start a free trial. If you do not, the report is still yours to keep.

Three ways to start. Pick the one that fits your week.

Some teams want to click around on their own. Some want a guide at their side. Some just want to know whether their survey is fine. All three are free, and none of them commits you to the others.
