Google Forms is a free form builder included with Google Workspace. It’s simple, reliable, and works well for quick surveys and internal data collection. Fomr is a visual form builder with a drag-and-drop editor, 1700+ fonts, and full design control. Both tools are free — the difference is in design flexibility, branding options, and editor experience.

Why teams switch from Google Forms to Fomr
Professional-looking forms
Google Forms have a recognizable look that says 'internal survey.' Fomr gives you 1700+ fonts, custom colors, backgrounds, and logos — so your forms match your brand.
A real visual editor
Google Forms uses a list-based editor with limited layout control. Fomr's drag-and-drop canvas lets you place fields anywhere, group elements, and design exactly the layout you want.
No Google account required
Your respondents don't need a Google account to fill out Fomr forms. And you don't need Google Workspace to build them.
Fomr vs Google Forms: pricing breakdown
Both tools are free for the core product.
Google Forms is free with a Google account and has no paid tiers — what you see is what you get. There’s no way to unlock additional design features, remove Google branding, or use a custom domain. The trade-off for being free is limited customization.
Fomr’s free plan includes everything Google Forms offers plus full design control, custom logos, redirect on completion, and team collaboration. The Pro plan at $17/month adds custom domains and removes Fomr branding. For teams that need professional-looking forms without the Google aesthetic, Fomr is the more flexible option at the same price (free).
Fomr vs Google Forms: the editor
Google Forms uses a straightforward list-based editor. You add questions one after another, choose a question type from a dropdown, and configure options in a sidebar. It’s fast for simple forms but gives you little control over layout or visual presentation. All forms end up looking similar.
Fomr’s editor is a visual canvas. You drag form fields onto the page, position them where you want, and see the final result in real time. You can group related fields, add text blocks, insert dividers, and adjust spacing. The editor supports multi-page navigation for longer forms.
The biggest difference: Google Forms decides the layout for you. Fomr lets you decide.
Fomr vs Google Forms: design and customization
Google Forms gives you a header image, an accent color, a background color, and four font options. That’s it. Every Google Form looks like a Google Form.
Fomr gives you full design control: 1700+ Google Fonts, custom color palettes, background images from Unsplash, custom logos, and adjustable spacing. Your forms can match your brand identity exactly. All design features are available on the free plan.
If you’re building customer-facing forms, registration pages, or anything where appearance matters, Fomr gives you significantly more control than Google Forms.
