You receive the tested form, documentation, and support to get your team collecting real data.
The platforms, explained simply
All three run the same XLSForm standard underneath. We help you pick the one that fits your budget, your team, and your data security needs.
KoboToolbox
A free platform widely used by NGOs and humanitarian organizations. It offers free hosting, a friendly web interface, and easy data export. If you are a nonprofit or a student on a tight budget, this is usually the place to start.
ODK (Open Data Kit)
The open-source toolkit that started it all. ODK gives you full control: you can host your own server and adapt the system to your exact requirements. A strong choice for research institutions and projects with their own IT capacity.
SurveyCTO
A paid, enterprise-grade platform known for reliability, encryption, and advanced quality control features like audio audits. Preferred by large research studies and organizations with strict data protection requirements.
