Overview
TurnKey LimeSurvey helps save you time and money by providing a ready-to-run LimeSurvey solution that is secure, supported and easy to maintain. The system auto-updates itself with security fixes and is built in a transparent 100% open source process free of hidden backdoors.
LimeSurvey is a user-friendly web application that enables users to develop and publish surveys, and collect responses, without doing any coding. Users can use rich text in questions and messages, using a rich text editor, and images and videos can be integrated into surveys.

- Free from hidden backdoors and vendor lock-in: transparent 100% opensource build of Debian GNU/Linux with no proprietary components or secret sauce.
- Free 1-click backup, restore and migrate: bundled backup software saves changes to files, databases and package management to encrypted storage which servers can be automatically restored from.

Pricing
Pricing is based on actual usage, with charges varying according to how much you consume. Subscriptions have no end date and may be canceled any time. Alternatively, you can pay upfront for a contract, which typically covers your anticipated usage for the contract duration. Any usage beyond contract will incur additional usage-based costs.
Additional AWS infrastructure costs may apply. Use the AWS Pricing Calculator to estimate your infrastructure costs.
If you are an AWS Free Tier customer with a free plan, you are eligible to subscribe to this offer. You can use free credits to cover the cost of eligible AWS infrastructure. See AWS Free Tier for more details. If you created an AWS account before July 15th, 2025, and qualify for the Legacy AWS Free Tier, Amazon EC2 charges for Micro instances are free for up to 750 hours per month.

Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour for the EC2 instance type you run this survey application on. The software itself carries no license fee. Each dimension maps to a specific AWS instance size, from small burstable types up to larger compute- and memory-focused instances. Your cost scales with the instance you choose: bigger instances with more CPU and memory cost more per hour. Pick the size that fits your expected survey traffic and workload. You can move to a larger or smaller instance as your needs change.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
You pay the hourly rate only while the instance runs. A stopped EBS-backed instance stops accruing usage fees, since it stores its root filesystem on a persistent network volume. You may still pay AWS storage fees for that volume while the server is off.
Each dimension maps to one running AWS EC2 instance of that type. The hourly rate covers the survey application software on that single server. Your CPU, memory, and network bandwidth depend on the instance type you pick. Larger instance types provide more compute and memory resources.
Each AWS Marketplace server bundles free chat and email support for default components, plus one free level 1 support incident per month. Getting-started help and forum access are unlimited and free. Bug-related incidents are not counted. Additional paid support for customizations is available separately.

Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.

Usage instructions
System Initialization:
After creating an EC2 instance with 1-Click, browse to http://<Public_DNS>/ for system initialization instructions.
Alternatively, log in via SSH as user 'admin' to the running instance. Be sure to use the SSH keypair selected during launch.
This inital step is required to set sensitive passwords & install security updates. You may also be asked to set a domain name for your server. If this is required, then it must be a valid domain name (i.e. have DNS configured).
Accessing the software main web app
http://<Public_DNS>/
This may redirect to https and/or the domain set at initialisation.
OS commands via SSH
Log into the running instance via SSH as user 'admin', using the SSH keypair set at launch time. Use sudo to run commands requiring root access.

Remove scary browser warnings
By default TurnKey AMIs ship with randomly generated self signed SSL/TLS certifcates. This will cause scary warning in your web browser When accessing https.
To remove the browser warnings, you will need to get a SSL/TLS certificate signed by an authorized Certificate Authority (CA). The recommended way to do that is to get a free Let's Encrypt SSL certificate. TurnKey comes with a built in tool to do that within your instance:
-
Ensure that you have your chosen domain DNS records configured and your domain resolves to your instance.
-
Access your instance via SSH.
-
Run 'sudo confconsole'.
-
Select:
Advanced >> Lets Encrypt >> Gen cert
