![]() ![]() Google Forms is, unsurprisingly, a little simpler. The good news is both Google Forms and Jotform do a really great job of making the data you gather easy to work with. How form-building apps handle the data you collect is just as important as how they collect it. There's a Tic-Tac-Toe game you can use as a CAPTCHA, for example, but no Sudoku or chess puzzles-but it's impossible to really know this unless you scroll through the 300+ widgets on offer or happen upon an article that mentions there's a Tic-Tac-Toe game (I did-check out the screenshot above). Perhaps the most awkward part is figuring out what you can and can't do with the various extra tools. Jotform basically does everything Google Forms does, and then does more. The basic options are all presented up front, and you can dig into the weirder widgets as you need to. Not every form needs payments, but if yours does, then Jotform is clearly the better option.įor all that, Jotform's form builder is still easy and intuitive to use. Although there are ways to add payment support (as well as other options) to Google Forms with Google Workspace Marketplace add-ons, they aren't built in to the same degree. ![]() Jotform integrates with Stripe, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Venmo, Paypal, and many other payment processors so that you can create a form that charges people at the end, say for a custom order or an appointment. Do you need all these different options? Probably not. ![]() You can create a form that uses simple questions and dropdown menus, or one that has a countdown timer, a progress bar, a voice recorder, and a calorie calculator. Jotform has all the same basic options as Google Forms, plus a ton of extra features. It's not bad, but changing the font and background color, and adding a header image still doesn't really allow your forms to stand out or fully match your brand. It's the same look that a lot of Google products-and especially their help documents-have. If you've ever filled one out, you'll know exactly what I mean. While you can customize Google Forms, they all generally look pretty same-ish (and very purple, if you don't change the color scheme). Of course, this simple approach does have a few downsides. With that handful of basic options, you can create anything from a wedding invite to a custom parts order form. You just need the ability to ask simple questions, offer various dropdown menus, checkboxes, and rating scales, and allow your responders to attach files and images. If you're collecting SWAG orders, basic feedback, or submissions for the office suggestion box, you don't need any weird tools or special apps. Most online forms don't need to be complicated. Unless you need its extra features, in which case, it's worth the price. ⭐⭐⭐ With a fairly limited free plan and the basic plan starting at $39/month, Jotform just doesn't offer the same value as Google Forms. ⭐⭐⭐⭐ It's not as intuitive as Google Forms, but Jotform allows you to export your data to nearly anywhere. ⭐⭐⭐⭐ With nice built-in reports and an automatic export to Google Sheets, Google Forms makes handling your collected data super easy. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ There's basically nothing you can't ask or do with Jotform-whether you're creating a simple intake form or a complex market research survey. ⭐⭐⭐ While it's suitable for 99 percent of most people's form needs, you're limited to simple questions. ![]() ⭐⭐⭐⭐ While easy to get started with, the many options can be hard to find.
