Our verdict

First of our top three form and survey tools

For: Most people

Google Forms builds forms, surveys and quizzes in a browser, shares them by link, email or embed, and charts the answers as they arrive or stores them in a linked Google Sheet. It is free with a personal Google Account. Questions can branch on earlier answers, and a form can become a quiz with point values and answer keys. Know the limits: no dedicated mobile app is listed, file upload questions require respondents to sign in to a Google Account, and there is no standalone paid plan. The business version comes inside Google Workspace, from $7 per user a month with a 1-year commitment, and drafting a form with Gemini needs Business Standard or higher or a Google AI plan.

What is Google Forms?

Google Forms is Google's builder for online forms, surveys and quizzes. Forms are put together in a browser with a drag-and-drop editor, shared by link, email or embed, and the answers show up as charts or in a linked Google Sheet. It is free with a personal Google Account, and the business version is not sold on its own: it is bundled in every Google Workspace edition.

Google Forms has a free plan. Paid plans start at $7 per user / month with a 1-year commitment (Workspace Business Starter). See every plan

Worth knowing

  • Google's help pages describe using Forms in a mobile web browser on Android, iPhone and iPad; no dedicated mobile app is listed.
