Forms, surveys, quizzes and polls

One builder covers forms, surveys, polls, auto-scored quizzes and order forms with a product basket, starting from more than 5,000 templates.

Conditional logic on every plan

Conditional logic is unlimited on all plans, along with multiple pages, hidden fields, prefilling through the URL and recalling earlier answers.

Payments and e-signatures

Forms can take payments and collect signatures on any plan, the free one included. The pricing table lists payments as unlimited.

AI form tools

An AI form creator drafts a form from a prompt, and other tools paraphrase questions, generate answer options and summarize or translate responses.

Mobile apps

Apps for iOS, Android and Huawei devices create and edit forms, share them and send push notifications when new responses arrive.

Integrations, webhooks and API

Google Sheets, Slack, HubSpot, Zapier and webhooks are available on every plan, and the developer site documents an API and an MCP server.

Google Forms

Drag-and-drop form editor

Choose from multiple question types, reorder them by dragging, and add images or videos. File upload questions save submissions to a folder in the owner's Google Drive.

Answer-based logic

Show questions based on earlier answers, so each respondent only goes through the sections that apply to them.

Quizzes with answer keys

Turn a form into a quiz with point values and answer keys on supported question types, and attach a written or YouTube explanation to an answer.

Response charts and Google Sheets

Answers are charted in a Summary tab as they arrive and can be stored in a new or existing Google Sheet for deeper analysis.

Templates and themes

Start from premade survey and questionnaire templates, then set colors, images and fonts to match an organization's branding.
