What is Microsoft Forms?
Microsoft Forms creates surveys, polls and quizzes that anyone can answer from a link, with results summarised automatically and exportable to Excel. It is free for anyone with a Microsoft account; Microsoft 365 Personal and Family subscribers get premium extras such as more respondents and templates.
Pros: what Microsoft Forms does well
- Free with any personal Microsoft account
- Fits neatly with Excel, Teams and OneDrive
- Simple quiz builder for classes and training
Cons: where it falls short
- Some premium features need a Microsoft 365 subscription
- Fewer design and logic options than dedicated form builders
Who Microsoft Forms is for
People who already work in Microsoft 365 and want free surveys and quizzes.
Who can skip it
Teams that need advanced logic, payments or branded forms.
