How it works

From question to results in four steps

  1. Build in English

    Use the drag-and-drop builder or start from a template. Add skip logic, repeat an earlier answer in a later question and shuffle options, without code.

  2. Pick the languages

    Offer all 12 languages or only the ones your audience reads, and choose which opens first. Translation happens automatically.

  3. Share it

    Publish and share with an editable WhatsApp message, a QR poster, Telegram, Facebook or email, and see which channel brought responses.

  4. Read results live

    Charts update as answers arrive, with breakdowns by age, gender, place and language. Download XLSX or a branded PDF report any time.

Every question type a questionnaire needs

  • Single choice, multiple choice, dropdown and image choice
  • Star rating, 0–10 scale and NPS
  • Short text, long text and date
  • Ranking and Likert grids
  • Attention checks that catch careless answers

Made for first-time phone users

Many people answering surveys in India are doing it for the first time on a phone. Setu, SurveySetu's guide, shows one question at a time with a progress bar, can read a question aloud with the phone's own voice when tapped, and never reacts to the answer someone picks.

Targeting and quality built in

  • Target by age, gender, state, district, block or gram panchayat, and by profile answers such as education or occupation
  • See how many respondents match before you publish
  • One complete per device per survey, plus duplicate, speed and answer-pattern checks
  • People outside your audience are screened out automatically

Common questions

Is SurveySetu free?

Joining is free and there is no subscription. You can publish free surveys today; they have a response cap, shown on the publish screen. Paid, pay-per-complete surveys are paused for now.

How does the translation work?

You write the survey in English. When a respondent picks another language, the questions and options are machine-translated into it, checked to be in that language's script, and cached. If a translation service fails, that line shows in English until it is translated. You choose which of the 12 languages to offer and which one opens first.

Do respondents need to install an app or create an account?

No. A survey link opens in any phone browser and many surveys can be answered as a guest. Respondents can install SurveySetu to their home screen if they want, but nothing has to be downloaded from an app store.

Can I export the responses?

Yes. Download responses as an XLSX spreadsheet or a branded PDF report from the analytics panel, at no extra cost. Choice answers are stored by option, so answers given in different languages add up in the same chart.

How do I get a researcher account?

Researcher accounts are created by invite. Fill in the partner form with what you want to research; our team replies within 1 to 3 working days and sends you an invite link.
