Being fair
When to choose Google Forms instead
No tool is right for everyone. Here is when Google Forms is the better fit.
You need it free, at volume
For internal surveys, large classes or one-off polls with thousands of answers, Google Forms costs nothing with a Google account. SOYL's free plan stops at 250 responses a month.
Your team lives in Google Workspace
Responses flow into Google Sheets natively and collaborators get access automatically. SOYL can write to Sheets too, but it takes a few minutes of setup.
Branding and payments don't matter
If the form is internal and nobody pays through it, the simpler tool is the right one.
