A Google Forms alternative people actually enjoy finishing
Google Forms is free and everywhere. It's also forgettable, and it tells you what people chose, never how sure they were.
Google Forms is the default because it's free. But "free and forgettable" costs you in completion and in shallow data. PuckSurveys is also free, with no response cap, and it's built so people want to finish, and so you learn more from every answer.
| PuckSurveys | Google Forms | |
|---|---|---|
| Price | Currently free, unlimited responses (optional tip) | Free |
| Answering experience | Puck, fast, fun | Radio buttons |
| Question types | Puck questions, multiple choice, and select-multiple, mixed in one survey | Multiple choice, checkboxes |
| Confidence / hesitation captured | Yes | No |
| Replay + conviction signals | Yes | No |
| Completion-focused design | Yes | Not really |
| Lives outside Google account | Yes | Tied to Google |
Why people switch
- Doesn't feel like a form. Sliding a puck is quick and tactile, so answering feels less like work.
- Richer data: every answer carries a confidence level.
- Signals Google Forms doesn't have: conviction scores and a replay of how people moved.
- Everything Forms asks, answered better. Multiple choice and checkboxes work just like you'd expect, plus the puck, which captures how sure people were.
When Google Forms is the better choice:
If all you need is a quick internal poll inside Google Workspace and you don't care about the depth of the data, Google Forms is perfectly fine and free. We're for when the quality of the answers matters.
