Why Choose Typerson Over Google Forms?

Beautiful, Modern Design

Google Forms looks like it's from 2010. Typerson's conversational UI with smooth animations, custom themes, and one-question-at-a-time flow creates a premium experience that respects your respondents' time.

Higher Completion Rates

Studies show conversational forms have 20-40% higher completion rates than traditional long-scroll forms. Typerson's focused, distraction-free interface keeps respondents engaged.

No Google Branding

With Typerson Pro, you can remove all branding and use custom URLs. Your forms look 100% yours. Google Forms always displays Google branding—there's no way to remove it.

Still Affordable (or Free)

Our free plan gives you 3 forms and 10 responses/month—perfect for occasional use. Need more? Pro is just $29/month for unlimited everything. Still way cheaper than enterprise form tools.

Is Typerson Right for You?

  • Higher completion rates from one-question-at-a-time format
  • Modern design with 8 theme presets and custom styling

⚠ Where Google Forms Wins

  • Not free for unlimited use (Google Forms offers unlimited everything at $0)
  • No native Google Sheets integration (CSV export available)
  • Free plan caps at 3 forms and 10 responses (Google Forms: unlimited)
  • Fewer collaboration features than Google Workspace ecosystem

✦ Best For

  • Businesses that need branded, professional forms without Google’s logo
  • Anyone who wants higher completion rates through conversational UX
  • Freelancers and agencies sending forms to clients

✦ Not Ideal For

  • Internal team surveys where aesthetics don’t matter (Google Forms is free and sufficient)
  • Organizations deeply embedded in Google Workspace who rely on native Sheets integration
  • Zero-budget use cases with high volume (Google Forms has unlimited free responses)

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Typerson better than Google Forms?
For respondent experience and professional branding — yes, significantly. For free unlimited usage with Google Workspace integration — Google Forms wins. The choice depends on whether your forms are internal tools or external brand touchpoints.
Can I use Typerson if I’m already using Google Workspace?
Absolutely. Typerson works independently — you can export responses to CSV and import them into Google Sheets. The integration isn’t as seamless as Google Forms’ native Sheets connection, but Typerson’s superior UX often makes it worth the trade-off.
Why would I pay for forms when Google Forms is free?
You’re paying for a better respondent experience that leads to more completions, plus professional branding. If a 20-40% higher completion rate means more leads, customers, or feedback, $29/month pays for itself. Google Forms is great for internal use; Typerson is built for external-facing forms.
Does Typerson save responses to Google Drive?
No. Typerson stores responses in its own secure database. You can export to CSV anytime and import to Google Sheets if needed. This actually avoids eating into your Google Drive storage quota.
Can I embed Typerson forms like Google Forms?
Not yet — Typerson forms are currently standalone pages with shareable URLs. Embedding is on our roadmap. For now, you can link from your website to your custom Typerson form URL.

The Bottom Line

Google Forms is unbeatable on price — it’s completely free with unlimited responses. But it looks dated, offers no branding control, and delivers a generic respondent experience. If your forms represent your brand to customers, leads, or clients, Typerson’s conversational UI and professional styling justify the $29/month Pro cost. For internal surveys or casual use, Google Forms is perfectly fine.
