What is Google Forms?
Google Forms lets you build surveys, quizzes and sign-up forms, share them by link, email or embed, and watch responses arrive as live charts. You can add logic that shows questions based on earlier answers and export every response to Google Sheets for deeper analysis. It is free to use with a personal Google account, and respondents do not need an account.
Pros: what Google Forms does well
- Free with a personal Google account
- Responses go straight into Google Sheets
- Quizzes with automatic grading for teachers and trainers
Cons: where it falls short
- Plain design with few styling options
- Needs a Google account to build forms
