SurveyKing

SurveyKing is an open-source platform for running surveys, graded exams and question-bank practice on your own infrastructure. It presents itself as a self-hosted alternative to SurveyMonkey, bringing content creation, publishing, responses, grading, analytics, users and permissions into one deployable system.

For surveys it offers responsive forms with many question types, conditional logic, themes and publishing controls, and forms can be created with AI, Excel, plain text, templates or a visual editor. Exams support reusable question banks, scoring, randomized content and automatic grading, while practice mode offers sequential, random and incorrect-answer drills with progress tracking, answer explanations, favorites and notes. Results can be analyzed by score, answer, ranking and question.

SurveyKing is written in Java with Spring Boot, licensed under MIT, and can be started with Docker using an embedded H2 database before moving to MySQL for production. The interface is available in several languages, including English and Simplified Chinese. It suits schools, training teams and businesses that want data ownership and survey features without a per-response subscription.
