Looks like Google's got a service, don't know when it launched, called Google Consumer Survey.

Google Consumer Surveys: Home

They are charging 10 cents a responds....

I'm surprised they didn't give this out for free. I don't it stacks up to SurveyMonkey... except they have some fancy Google Analytics. Looks like they have a promotion for $75 off at the moment.

Does anyone here utilize any open source / free version for consumer surveys?

surveymonkey costs $1+/response
 
With this in mind, giving brand owners the legal power to control search results isn’t in the consumers’ best interests. Instead, brand owners’ efforts to suppress competitive keyword advertising raise anti-competitive concerns. Many consumers want to see competitive options in their search results (as the article says, “a majority of consumers use brand names to search primarily for the branded goods, but most consumers are open to purchase competing products”), but that’s exactly what brand owners don’t want them to have.
 
I can't understand though, why there isn't a open source or free version of a survey software. Looks rather simply to create.

There aren't many, and of the few I've tried Lime Survey was the best. It pales in comparison to Survey Monkey, though.

The other thing to keep in mind is that Google is offering not the software, but the actual responses themselves. That is, you craft the survey and they find respondents for you... at a few cents a pop.
 
Another interesting thing about the service: they also allow you to select demographics in several ways (at an increased cost). The most interesting of these is via a response to a single question. Imagine targeting your demographic by asking "have you ever bought x?" You can then collect survey responses solely from people who have purchased a product like yours. Even with this kind of targeting, it's around a dollar per response or something. Honestly the whole thing seems like a fantastic deal to me. I'm probably going to try and get one of these done before the christmas season.
