Google Forms vs Youform

Google Forms

• Quick polls, event registrations and quizzes at no cost
• Teams on Google Workspace that analyze responses in Google Sheets
• Teachers building quizzes with answer keys and point values

Youform

• People who want unlimited forms and responses without paying
• Teams moving off Typeform or Google Forms
• Solo users who need logic, signatures and integrations for free

Google Forms

• There is no standalone paid Forms plan; the business version comes only inside Google Workspace, with Gmail, Drive and Meet.
• Google's help pages describe using Forms in a mobile web browser on Android, iPhone and iPad; no dedicated mobile app is listed.
• File upload questions require respondents to sign in to a Google Account and cannot be used on forms stored in a shared drive.
• Help me create a form is desktop-only, cannot yet build multi-section forms, and needs Business Standard or higher or a Google AI plan.

Youform

• Removing Youform branding, custom domains, Stripe payments and redirects after submission all require Pro.
• The free plan covers one user and limits file uploads to 10 MB each; Pro allows up to 3 team members.
• Unlimited responses fall under a fair use policy: consistently passing 50,000 submissions a month leads to a custom plan.
• Email and SMS verification and the activity log are Business only, and SMS verification needs your own Twilio account.

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.

Help me create a form

Gemini drafts a form from a prompt or from Drive files such as Docs, Sheets, Slides and PDFs. It works on desktop and needs an eligible Workspace or Google AI plan.

Youform

Drag-and-drop form builder

Add question blocks, drag them into order and adjust colors, images and fonts in a visual editor, then share a link, a QR code or a website embed.

AI form builder

Describe the form, survey or quiz you need in a sentence and Youform AI drafts the questions for you to review and edit.

Logic, scores and calculations

Conditional logic, scoring, calculations, hidden fields and multiple endings are all included on the free plan.

Typeform and Google Forms import

Paste the link of a public Typeform or Google Form to convert it into a Youform, then review the imported questions and logic.

Payments, branding and custom domains

Pro connects Stripe to collect payments, removes Youform branding, adds your logo and uploaded fonts, and serves forms from a custom domain.

Integrations on the free plan

Google Sheets, Slack, Zapier, webhooks and the Calendly, Cal.com and SavvyCal scheduling integrations do not need a paid plan.
