COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - ColoradoDesk -- The group needs a survey, you agreed to make it, and nobody has said yet what it can cost. In Candor, survey software from Golden Hills Software, building and trying are now free on every account: build as many surveys as you need, and try each one on up to 10 people. Your first survey can be live for 30 days at no charge. After that, paying starts when a survey goes live.

The people you try it on leave notes on the questions that tripped them up, so you fix those before anyone else sees the survey. That puts the decision to pay after the work is done. A volunteer coordinator can build the survey, try it on the committee, and bring a working draft to the meeting where the money gets decided.

When responses come in, you can click any chart to see who said what and export a report the group can read: Word, PDF, PowerPoint, CSV or SPSS.

"We wanted to give people a real chance to try Candor: build a survey and run it by some of their stakeholders," said Chuck Boudreau, founder of Golden Hills Software. "I know a lot of survey authors like trying different things with a new tool. It made sense to let people have a positive experience with Candor before they decide to buy it, or before a survey goes live."
