Microsoft Forms alternatives
Microsoft Forms is the default when answers should stay in Excel, Teams, or SharePoint. Teams look for alternatives when the respondent is not in the tenant, or when they need branding, signatures, or a host that does not require a Microsoft 365 seat. GRTforms is a standalone product: publish a link, collect entries, export Excel / CSV / PDF. Microsoft 365 seat prices are on Microsoft's site (checked Oct 2026). We do not reprint them. Other names on the same list: Google Forms, Typeform, Jotform, Tally, Fillout, SurveyMonkey, Wufoo.
Why teams look for Microsoft Forms alternatives
- The form is public — applicants, customers, or guests who should not need a work account.
- You want logic, page breaks, or a signature with an owner audit trail.
- You do not want form data to live only inside a Microsoft 365 workspace.
- If Excel Online, Teams, or SharePoint is the system of record, Microsoft Forms may still be the better default. Confirm in Microsoft’s docs.
What GRTforms ships today
- A drag-and-drop builder with 24 shipped field types.

Other Microsoft Forms alternatives
Google Forms is the other suite-native default (Sheets / Classroom). Typeform and Jotform are larger catalogs with more design options or widgets. Tally and Fillout are lighter editors. SurveyMonkey and Wufoo cover research and classic web forms. Microsoft 365 prices are on Microsoft's site (checked Oct 2026). No competitor prices on this page.
Google Forms alternatives
Pick Google Forms when you already live in Google Workspace and need a simple quiz or sheet. Pick GRTforms when you want a branded hosted form, logic, signatures, or a guest AI draft.
SurveyMonkey alternatives
SurveyMonkey is for research programs. GRTforms is for operational forms you publish, brand, and export.
Jotform alternatives
Stay on Jotform if you already rely on its widgets, payments, or approval flows. Choose GRTforms for a narrower builder with published Free / Premium catalog prices and guest AI.
