File uploads eat your Google Drive
Every file your respondents upload counts against your personal Drive storage. Hit the limit and the form silently stops accepting submissions.
Google Forms alternative · Free forever
The best free Google Forms alternative for teams.
Google Forms stops working the moment you need real file uploads, custom branding, or a proper submission dashboard. Formiqa does all of that — for free.

Why teams switch
Google Forms hits its walls fast.
It's fine for a quick internal poll. The moment your work touches clients, files, or professional presentation, it starts getting in the way.
Respondents need a Google account
File uploads require your respondents to sign into Google. A real barrier when working with clients, customers, or anyone outside your org.
No custom branding
Every Google Form looks like a Google Form. Your logo, colors, and fonts have no place there — which matters when you're sending forms to clients.
No submission dashboard
Responses land in a Google Sheet. There's no dedicated inbox to review, filter, or act on submissions. You're expected to manage a spreadsheet.
Limited email notifications
You get a basic alert — no control over who gets notified, what the email says, or whether respondents get a confirmation.
Only 9 field types
Text, email, date, dropdown, checkboxes, linear scale, grid, file, and rating. That's it. Most professional workflows need more.

File uploads & storage
Your storage. Not Google's.
With Google Forms, every uploaded file eats into your personal Drive quota. Hit the limit and the form stops accepting submissions — with no warning to respondents.
Formiqa gives you 1 GB of dedicated storage on the free plan and 10 GB on Pro, completely isolated from any personal account. No Google sign-in required from respondents.

Design & branding
Forms that look like you.
Google Forms lets you pick a color and add a header image. That's it — every form still looks like a Google Form.
Formiqa Pro includes custom branding: your logo, your colors, your fonts. Professional forms you're proud to send to clients.
Response management
A real dashboard. Not a spreadsheet.
Google Forms routes every submission to a Google Sheet. There's no dedicated space to review, search, or manage responses — just rows in a spreadsheet.
Formiqa includes a built-in submission dashboard on every plan. View all responses in one place, download uploaded files, and export to CSV with Pro.
