LimeSurvey as a Service: The Complete Pricing Guide
Compare managed LimeSurvey hosting options. See what DIY costs, why managed services make sense, and how to choose.
The LimeSurvey Cost Question
LimeSurvey is free to download. But 'free software' doesn't mean 'free to run'.
You have three paths:
- Self-host on a VPS. Pay $5-20/month for the server, handle setup, security updates, backups, SSL certs. Cheapest if your time is worthless.
- LimeSurvey Cloud (official SaaS). €29+/month. Easy. Official support. No maintenance.
- Managed hosting on Opsily. A flat monthly fee. Your server, your data, no maintenance. You own it forever.
These aren't the same thing. Let's look at what each really costs.
The Real Cost of DIY vs Managed
DIY time includes downloading, installing, configuring SSL, testing. Opsily setup assumes account already created.
