What is Pinnion?

Pinnion is write once, use everywhere software that makes your survey shine, on the web, on mobile, in apps and via SMS.

It’s never been easier to write great looking surveys. No code, all the question types and logic you expect. Complete visual control over every aspect of the survey, so your questions can look their best — just like your respondents expect from you.

Each Pinnion survey that you create can be distributed through any or all of the following methods:

  • Direct link – A basic URL that’s ideal for email, Facebook, Twitter, and more.
  • Embed code – iFrame widget that can be inserted into web pages or blogs. Users can complete the survey without ever leaving your website.
  • Mobile devices – Direct links and embed codes automatically adapt to small screens when your survey is accessed on a mobile device. Customized apps are also available.
  • SMS polling  - Text response option that is ideal for contacting existing panel members or mobile users without data plans. Our selection of international shortcodes provides worldwide reach.

Pinnion is also available via the Pinnion Plugin for WordPress.
