It's my go to survey form if we need one quickly that's easy to create and complete. I don't want complicated, so this option is perfect, cause anyone on the team can use it. Pros Extremely easy to use; quick and intuitive. And love that it is part of the free tools offered in the Google suite, so this means that even if my team doesn't pay for a workspace like I do it's still something they can make use of. Also great that being a part of the G-Suite use can export directly to Sheets. Cons Would be great if you could receive push notifications of new responses more details in the emails so that you didn't need to open the form each time and also more ways to extract the data would be helpful. It does not look as pretty as other forms though, so if the aesthetic is super important you're going to have to put in more effort.

It’s helpful for creating basic forms and collecting information, but the value for money is limited since it lacks more advanced features without using add-ons. Customer support is minimal and mostly self-guided. Data collection works well for simple needs, but reporting and organization options are basic. Survey design is very limited, with minimal customization. It’s easy to get started, but ease of use drops when trying to build more complex forms. There are also no built-in payment options, which limits how it can be used for professional or business purposes. Pros What I liked most about Google Forms is the exceptional value for money—it’s free yet packed with powerful features. The platform is very easy to use, making survey design simple and intuitive even for beginners, while still offering enough customization for more advanced needs. Data collection is seamless, with real-time responses and automatic organization in Google Sheets. Its built-in features cover most survey and form requirements without needing add-ons, and customer support is supported by extensive documentation and community resources. While payment options are not applicable since it’s a free tool, this actually enhances its value, making Google Forms a highly accessible and efficient solution for collecting and managing data. Cons What I liked least about Google Forms is that it feels a bit limited once your needs go beyond the basics. While it’s free, the value for money isn’t great if you need more advanced features like deeper reporting, branding, or automation. Customer support is mostly self-serve, which can be frustrating when you need quick help. It’s easy to use for simple forms, but ease of use drops when trying to set up more complex logic. Data collection works fine, but the insights and exports are pretty basic. Survey design options are minimal and don’t allow much customization, and there are no built-in payment options, which makes it unsuitable for collecting payments or fees. Review Source Breanna G.

The responses go to Sheets automatically, which helps me analyze data and prioritize what to build next for the product. Cons The design is very basic, I cannot make it look like my brand perfectly. Logic jump (if this, then that) is very simple and not good for complex user journeys. It does not have good analytics dashboard inside, I must do manual work in sheets. Review Source Lisa N.

The spreadsheets with results are easy to customize and can be used with various google extensions to populate form responses into PDFs. Pros Google forms is an easy to use free product that allows us to design surveys. It is great for surveying employees since we all use the google domain and it's easy to customize features by having things like a survey live date, emailing records of responses, etc. Cons When trying to redirect the form to different paths based on user responses to questions there is no way to get an overview of the different paths.
