CrispForms vs Google Forms

For an internal poll or a quick sign-up sheet, Google Forms is hard to argue with: free, instant, and already in the account. The argument starts when the form is customer-facing, because then it looks like a Google Form.

Checked against Google Forms's own published material on 12 September 2026. Products change and this page won't always keep up — their pricing page is the authority on what they do, not ours. If something here is wrong, tell us and we'll correct it.

Where we think we're the better choice

  • Forms that look like your brand rather than like a spreadsheet's front door.
  • Conversational mode, a theme library, and design controls that go past changing the header colour.
  • Analytics that tell you where people dropped out, not just what the finishers said.

Where Google Forms is the better choice

  • It is completely free, with no response limit and no upsell.
  • It's already in every Google account, with nothing to set up.
  • Native Sheets integration that nobody else can match for immediacy.
