## What it is
LimeSurvey is a free, open-source online survey platform for creating questionnaires, polls, and forms with conditional logic, branching, multilingual support, and GDPR compliance. It is a self-hostable PHP/JavaScript application with a RemoteControl API (XML-RPC/JSON-RPC), plugins, and integrations like SAML and LDAP.

## Use cases
- create online surveys and questionnaires
- collect customer or employee feedback
- run academic research surveys
- build multilingual surveys for global audiences
- gather anonymous responses with GDPR compliance
- run product pricing and market research surveys
- self-host a SurveyMonkey or Google Forms alternative

## When to choose
- you need a self-hosted, privacy-focused survey tool with no vendor lock-in
- you require advanced features like skip logic, 30+ question types, and multilingual surveys
- you need API access, SSO (SAML/LDAP), or plugin extensibility
- GDPR compliance and data anonymization are priorities

## When to avoid
- you want a lightweight embeddable form widget rather than a full survey application
- you prefer a fully managed SaaS without self-hosting overhead
- your stack is not PHP-based and you want a native solution in another language
