- The average script size is around 100k.
- If responses are stored on the server, the average size of the file depends on the length of the survey, the number of responses, and the length of write-in responses. For example, a data file with 150 responses to a 25 question survey can be about 22k.
- If a Real-Time Report is used, about 1-2k.
