Outgrowing Google Forms?
Google Forms branches only at the section level, on two question types, and there's no way to remove Google's branding at any price. SurveyRock adds skip and display logic and your own branding from Solo at $35 a month, and groups open-text answers into themes from Growth.
SurveyRock is the better fit once you need real branching logic, a professional unbranded survey, or response analysis that doesn't cap out at 200 answers. Stay with Google Forms if free and simple is all you need: it's free, with a limit of 500k responses per form.
SurveyRock vs Google Forms, feature by feature
| Attribute | SurveyRock | Google Forms |
|---|---|---|
| Cost | Free plan, then $35/mo (Solo) and up | Free, no Forms-specific paid tier |
| Response limits | 100/month on Free plan; higher caps on paid plans | Up to 500k responses and 1 GB per form (from September 2026). Above 100,000 responses, syncing with Google Sheets may stop. |
| Branching logic | Skip logic + per-question conditional display, from Solo ($35/mo) | Section-level jumps only, triggered only by Multiple Choice or Dropdown questions |
| Ranking questions | Native question type | Not available |
| Signature capture | Native question type | Not available |
| Remove platform branding | Included from Solo ($35/mo) | Not possible at any tier, including paid Workspace |
| AI-drafted surveys | Accept, edit, or discard every generation; revisions land in a draft you review, never straight onto your live survey | "Help me create a form" replaces the entire form — prior content isn't recoverable |
| AI response analysis | Theme detection and AI summaries from Growth ($179/mo), no response cap; keyword analysis from Team ($79/mo) | Gemini summarization works on 3–200 responses per summary, requires paid Workspace/Google AI plan, desktop only |
| Dedicated support | Priority support from Team ($79/mo) | No dedicated support for free users — Help Center and community forum only |
Where SurveyRock wins
Branching logic that isn't limited to two question types
Google's own help documentation confirms section-based branching only triggers from Multiple Choice or Dropdown questions, with no per-question conditional show/hide. SurveyRock's skip and conditional logic work across question types, not a two-type subset.
A professional, unbranded survey — at any tier
Google Forms carries non-removable branding at every tier, including paid Workspace. SurveyRock removes its branding from the Solo plan ($35/mo).
AI that won't overwrite your work
Google's AI form generation replaces the entire form and can't edit an existing one — prior content is gone once you regenerate. SurveyRock tracks every AI generation's history, and you choose what to accept, edit, or discard, question by question.
Analysis that doesn't stop at 200 responses
Google's Gemini summarization tops out at 200 responses per summary and needs a paid Workspace/Google AI plan just to access it. SurveyRock's theme detection has no response cap — past 1,000 answers, it builds the themes from a sample balanced across your surveys and months.
Stay with Google Forms if…
Free and simple is all you need
Google Forms is free, with a limit of 500k responses and 1 GB per form, and anyone with a Google account can start today with no new tool or approval. SurveyRock's free plan caps at 100 responses a month.
When you need skip logic and your own branding, SurveyRock adds both from $35 a month.
Questions people ask
Can I import my Google Form into SurveyRock?
Yes. Download your responses as a CSV from the form's Responses tab. SurveyRock imports responses from a CSV or Excel file, and questions from a Word or text file. If you'd rather we did the move, talk to us at support@surveyrock.com. We never need your Google login.
Is there any way to remove Google's branding from a form?
Not at any tier, including paid Google Workspace plans. Workspace's "organization branding" feature lets admins set a custom visual theme, but it doesn't remove the Google Forms footer or product branding itself.
Does Google Forms support real branching logic?
Only at the section level, and only triggered by Multiple Choice or Dropdown questions — per Google's own help documentation. There's no per-question conditional show/hide and no support for more complex branching trees.
