How we grade them
| 2.0GPAFlexiQuizFair | 3.2GPAGoogle FormsVery good | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CGraded against its alternatives. Essentials is $17 a month billed yearly, $25 monthly, for 500 responses: less than Typeform or Jotform, more than Google Forms quizzes, which are free. Embedding and selling quizzes need Premium at $25, and the API needs Enterprise at $60. | AFree with a personal Google Account, in a category where the middle paid plan is $24 a month. There's no standalone paid Forms plan: the business version rides inside Workspace from $7 per user a month, Gmail, Drive and Meet included. |
| Free plan and trial | CFree for good, with unlimited quizzes and the AI question writer, but each quiz stops at 10 questions and the account at 20 responses a month. One class sitting one test and you're there. | AFree with an account you almost certainly have, and the listing shows no cap on forms or responses that a normal person would meet. The only paid extra is Gemini drafting a form for you. |
| Features | CIt does the quiz job fully: marking with points and grades, timers, random order, attempt limits, learner portals, live games and selling access. That's a smaller job than forms in general, though, and the listing puts embedding on Premium and the API on Enterprise. | CIt does the basics well: drag-and-drop questions, logic that skips sections, quizzes with answer keys, live charts and a linked Sheet. The gaps are plain, though. No payments, no signatures, no calculations, and file uploads force respondents to sign in to Google. |
| Ease of use | CNo rating on record. Each quiz still has to be written and its marking and settings chosen, though the AI generator drafts one from a prompt, a web page or a file. | BNo store rating on record, but there is genuinely nothing to set up: no account to create, no plan to pick, no install. Open it, drag questions around, send the link. |
| Platforms and integrations | CWeb only, with nothing to install. Stripe is there for selling from Premium, but the API, webhooks and Zapier all wait for the $60 Enterprise plan, so on most plans it doesn't connect to much. | BWeb with Google's own plumbing: Sheets, Drive, Apps Script, AppSheet and a Forms API. No dedicated phone app, though. Google's help pages describe using it in a mobile browser instead. |
| Best for | tests that mark themselves | quick free forms, polls and quizzes |
