## The panel's verdict

LamaPoll is an online survey tool from Lamano GmbH & Co. KG of Berlin, positioned for employee and general surveys, with weighted totals from 6.3 to 7.0 across the judging personas. It is strongest on sovereignty, the one criterion scored 8 with no lower mark: processing of survey data exclusively in Germany on the vendor's own servers, named German subcontractors (IONOS, Strato, Mailbox.org), and an Article 28 processing agreement concluded automatically at registration. Hosting and administration holds at 7, and consent and data protection at 6-7, supported by a fully anonymous mode without IP addresses, cookies or metadata. The genuine split is collection and workflows, the lowest band at 4-6: judges crediting a managed-list operation with an address book and email editor scored higher, while those finding no public information on reminders, submission notifications, file uploads or webhooks scored lower. Pricing transparency reached 7-8 with all four plans public, from Basic 49 € / Monat or 490 € / Jahr to Enterprise 499 € / Monat or 4990 € / Jahr, though the captured pages give different figures for cancellation.

**Speaks for it:**
- Surveys can run fully anonymous without IP addresses, cookies or metadata, with contact data processed separately from the answers
- An Article 28 processing agreement is concluded automatically at registration and can be previewed and downloaded beforehand
- Survey data is processed exclusively in Germany on the vendor's own servers, with German subcontractors named by company, address and certification
- All four paid plans are published with monthly and annual prices, from Basic at 49 € / Monat or 490 € / Jahr to Enterprise at 499 € / Monat or 4990 € / Jahr, beside a free tier capped at 50 participants and a 14-day trial
- Raw data exports reach SPSS with extensive metadata, plus CSV, TXT and MatLab, and summary exports Excel, Word, PowerPoint and HTML

**Held against it:**
- We found no public information on reminders, submission notifications, file uploads, payments or signatures inside the form, or webhooks
- The vendor itself states that there are no interfaces to third-party providers for the collected data
- We found no public information on calculations, scoring or randomisation in the editor, or on significance testing, weighting and open-text analysis in evaluation
- We found no public information on per-response prices once a plan's participant limit is reached
- The captured pages give different figures for cancellation — no notice periods on the pricing page, a 24-hour notice with automatic renewal in the terms

**Best for:**
- You run employee surveys in Germany and need a fully anonymous mode without IP addresses, cookies or metadata, consent built into the questionnaire, and an Article 28 agreement that is concluded automatically at registration
- You require processing of survey data exclusively in Germany on the vendor's own servers, with the vendor stating it uses no US cloud services for that processing
- Your statistics workflow depends on raw-data export to SPSS with extensive metadata
- You want to compare fully published prices across four tiers before committing, starting from the free tier's cap of 50 participants

**Avoid if:**
- Your team needs collected responses routed automatically into a CRM or other third-party system — the vendor itself states there are no interfaces to third-party providers
- Your legal department insists on its own processing agreement — individual agreements are offered only in exceptional cases, generally at a minimum of 6000 €
- Your payment chain must remain entirely inside the EU — payments run through Stripe Payments Europe in Ireland, with transfers to the USA possible under the Data Privacy Framework
- Your response rates depend on automated collection workflows such as reminders and submission notifications — collection and workflows scored 4-6, the lowest band of any criterion

## Scores by judge and criterion

Scores out of 5, each judge scoring independently against the published rubric (v1). "n/r" = not rated: the vendor publishes no price, or the judge found no public information on that criterion.

| Criterion | The Market Researcher | The Operations Manager | The HR Lead | The Academic Researcher | The Data Protection Officer | The Skeptic |

### The judges

- **The Market Researcher** (v1.0): Runs customer and brand studies for a mid-sized consumer-goods company, three waves a year in four languages. Wants logic and quotas that keep the sample clean, invitations with reminders, cross-tabs and NPS without exporting to a spreadsheet first, and open answers grouped into themes before the board meeting.
- **The Operations Manager** (v1.0): Replaces paper and PDF forms at a service company: event registrations, supplier onboarding, damage reports with photos, order requests with a payment. Wants forms a colleague can build without IT, file uploads, a submission that lands in the right inbox and the CRM or spreadsheet without copy and paste, and a price that does not jump when the response count does.
- **The HR Lead** (v1.0): Runs the yearly engagement survey and pulse checks for a German company of six hundred, with the works council reading every question. Wants anonymity that is real and stated, results hidden below a minimum group size, reports per department that managers can read, and answers that are deleted when the agreement with the works council says so.
- **The Academic Researcher** (v1.0): Runs questionnaire studies at a European university and has to satisfy the ethics board before the first respondent sees a question. Wants complex branching, randomisation and validated scales, an informed-consent page that is part of the instrument, exports to SPSS and R with labels intact, and a licence the faculty can host or at least keep in the EU.
- **The Data Protection Officer** (v1.0): Signs off every form tool a department wants to use and has found health data in a feedback form before. Wants a data processing agreement and a subprocessor list on the vendor's own pages, consent fields and an anonymous mode that drops IP addresses, retention periods that delete on their own, EU hosting the customer can choose, and roles that keep responses away from people who do not need them.
- **The Skeptic** (v1.0): Has seen a "free form builder" put its logo on every customer survey and charge per response the month the campaign worked. Reads "GDPR compliant" with no data processing agreement behind it, "anonymous" surveys that still log IP addresses, "EU hosting" on the enterprise plan only, and AI analysis features with no word on where the answers go — and asks whether the responses can leave with the customer.
