Online forms are great. No, really, they are. They seem like the most basic thing, like that first awkward email you sent back in the ‘90s, but, in fact, they are in the top 3 most important things you need to get business done. They’re literally the best thing since sliced bread (and right next to restaurants serving breakfast menus all day). Even so, it is important to mention that great forms start with a great form builder, and choosing it should always be an informed decision. So if you’re on this page looking to learn more about Google Forms alternatives (or why 123 beats Google Forms), you’re in the right place. 

Keep reading to find out everything you need to know about 123 Form Builder as a Google Form alternative. Yes, we’re obviously biased here (a little), but choosing and sticking with 123 is always the smarter choice for a long list of reasons (which we’ve detailed below).

In (not so) short, 123 Form Builder is one of the very best alternatives to Google Forms because: 

It’s a Google Forms Alternative with Hundreds More Templates

…Like, 1900 more. While Google Forms does provide its users with some form templates, 123 Form Builder does it better (sorry, no false modesty here, guys). We have more than 1900 form templates for pretty much everything you can imagine, from event registration form templates to t-shirt and cake ordering form templates. 

And all you have to do is grab ‘em, customize ‘em, and use ‘em wherever you want: your site, on social media, or even in an email. 

It’s a Google Forms Alternative with MUCH Better Design Options 

…Because forms deserve to feel pretty too. Even more than that, your business deserves to be well-represented in every digital piece you put out there — your forms, surveys, and polls included. 

It’s an Ultra-Customizable Google Forms Alternative

…Because while Google Forms does give you some level of customization, it isn’t in any way near the  level of 123 Form Builder. With our forms, customization goes well beyond design, providing you with the option to really create an amazing experience for your form respondents. 

From conditional logic (which allows you to display fields according to your rules) to 100% customizable email notification flows and Thank You pages, 123 Form Builder makes it easy for you to build a custom experience. And, our white label and CSS options are here to ensure that you can do WHATEVER YOU WANT with your forms and make it really YOURS.

It’s a Google Forms Alternative with More than 80 Integrations

…Because you need tools that make your life actually easier. We’re integrated with the single most popular and powerful tools on the market, including Google Drive, DropBox, MailChimp, ActiveCampaign, NationBuilder, Salesforce, and every other type of tool you can think of. 

Yes, Google Forms is integrated with the Google Suite, and you can link it to other tools using Zapier, but it still doesn’t provide you with direct integrations with tools outside of their suite. And that means that direct data transfer from one tool to another is more difficult with Google Forms. 

It’s a Google Forms Alternative with Proper Email Notifications

… Because forms love communication and you want to stay in touch with your form submitters. 

With 123 Form Builder, you can set up an entire email notification system linked to your forms and/or the payments integrated on them. Send file attachments, confirmations, further information, form submission reviews, and Thank You emails to your form submitters and create a real, human bridge of communication with them. 

It’s a Google Forms Alternative Payments, Because, Well, Money

… Because like it or not, money makes the world go round. And 123 Form Builder helps you pay for stuff you need by helping you get paid or stuff you sell. We’re integrated with all the major payment processors out there, including PayPal, Stripe, Square, and Authorize.net. Connect your payment account with your forms in five seconds, and then cash in! 

Actual Customer Support for Your Google Forms Alternatives

…The stellar kind. 

Contact us via email, customer support chat, or on social media and we’ll be there for you. Unlike Google Forms (which offers only tutorials, a Help Center, and the option to report a problem), we have actual humans ready to back you up whenever you need it. 

Most Frequently Asked Questions about Google Forms and Their alternatives 

You have Google Forms- related questions, we have the answers. 

Can I send a Google Form to someone who doesn’t have a Google account? 

Yes, but this also means that you will have to turn off the private mode for your Google Forms (making it accessible to everyone). The issue is that this will open your forms to multiple submissions coming from the same person (ergo, to spam). 

What is better than Google Forms? 

Well, again, we’re obviously biased here, but 123 Form Builder is a sturdy, generous alternative to Google Forms (for all the reasons already mentioned in this article, and more). 

How do I create a fillable form? 

If you are looking for ways to edit a PDF, you can check out our extensive guide on this. If you want to create a fillable form online (and allow anyone who has the link to fill it in without needing any kind of software), you can do it with 123 Form Builder. 

Sign up to our form builder, pick up a template (or create your own form from scratch), customize it, and publish it (on your site, on social media, via WhatsApp, email, Messenger, phone SMS, or whatever other means of communication you might use). 

Does Google Forms track IP address?

No, which is precisely what makes Google Forms a less secure option than 123 Form Builder. If you use Google forms to send internal surveys (and make them visible to the employees only), that’s fine. But if you want to share your forms with people outside of your organization, 123 Form Builder is the better option because it provides you with a series of features that allow you to customize and protect your forms and your submissions (such as limiting submission country and IP addresses, for example).
