Google Forms is a free browser-based tool for creating surveys, polls and quizzes. Ask customers about their experience, gather ideas for a new product or build a knowledge quiz with scored answers. Templates and different question types help you get started, while sections can direct people to different questions based on their answers. Share a link or embed the form on your website. Responses appear in summary charts and can be collected in Google Sheets for further analysis. You need a Google account to create forms; a paid Google Workspace subscription is not required for the basic tool.

The free plan includes lead capture and 100 quiz completions per month, after which quizzes pause until the allowance resets. Collected leads can be downloaded manually.
