Question types you can use in your survey

Build your survey with ease using our full range of question types. Some types are only available when surveying your own audience or with Pro features.

Updated over 3 months ago

When adding a new question, you’ll be asked to choose a Question Type. Each type helps you collect a different form of feedback — from simple Yes/No answers to advanced sliders and file uploads.

📘 Note:

  • Some advanced types are only available to Pro users.

  • When purchasing respondents from our panel, only essential feedback types are shown (Welcome/Thank you pages and some advanced formats are not included, since they aren’t needed).

  • Once you select a type, you’ll find extra customization options in the right‑hand panel (e.g. randomization, multiple answers, allow “Other” options).
