The best Google Forms alternative
Google Forms is free and fine for quick internal surveys, and it can require a Google sign-in. Tapzy is for public forms: your own design, payments, logic by answer, spam protection and email or SMS codes that work without a Google account.

Questions
What is the best alternative to Google Forms?
If you need payments, logic by answer, spam protection or respondent verification, Tapzy covers them in one form builder. It also adds link-in-bio pages, short links and QR codes for sharing.
Can I import a Google Form into Tapzy?
Yes. Paste the form's link and Tapzy rebuilds the questions. CSV, PDF and Word files work too.
Can Google Forms take payments?
No. Google Forms has no payment field. Tapzy takes payments through your own Stripe or Dodo Payments account.
How does Google Forms stop spam?
Mainly by requiring a Google sign-in. Tapzy uses a hidden honeypot field, rate limits and a duplicate check, so people don't need an account.
Does Tapzy support Google sign-in?
Yes. Switch on verification for an email question and pick Google sign-in: people confirm their address with one click, no code. You can also verify them with an email, SMS or WhatsApp code.
