Looking for an excellent formbuilder solution to meet your company’s rising needs? There are several alternatives on the market; how can you decide which is ideal for you? You may start with a quick analysis of a few choices. Today, we will talk about the greatest Microsoft Forms<\/a> alternative\u2014123FormBuilder, of course. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Continue reading to learn more about who wins the 123FormBuilder vs. Microsoft Forms “battle,” what features and plans each form builder service provides, and who may be ideal for you. Let us begin!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pricing Tiers Comparison<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s see how much each form builder solution costs. We will start with 123FormBuilder, which offers an option for every wallet and need. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You start your journey with 123FormBuilder with a FREE<\/strong> account<\/a>. You can explore the features and get exactly what you need from an online form-building solution and figure out if you need something more. The free plan offers features like a drag-and-drop editor, a digital signature, a Likert scale<\/a>, conditional logic and many types of form field question types.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the Gold<\/strong> plan ($37\/month), you access upload<\/a> and formula<\/a> fields, multilanguage forms, custom email notifications<\/a>, and edit later for forms. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Diamond<\/strong> Plan ($49\/month) offers even more forms and monthly submissions than gold, plus the payment integration<\/a> that can make life much easier for online shops and quick and safe sales or donations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Platinum<\/strong> plan ($99\/month) provides data encryption, forms accessible from Salesforce<\/a>, and integration with 42+ third-party apps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

123FormBuilder offers the Enterprise<\/strong> plan for those looking for a professional solution that includes HIPAA compliance<\/a>, priority support, a dedicated account manager, and unlimited features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Microsoft Forms uses a different subscription plan as it is part of larger Microsoft-related subscriptions. Microsoft Forms is part of the Office 365 suite<\/strong> and provides a one-month free trial for a maximum of 25 users, with complete access to all features during this period. Once the trial ends, you can opt for a subscription plan starting at $6 per user per month. However, Microsoft Forms will remain free of cost with any paid plan from Microsoft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Form Creation and Customization<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The two formbuilders offer very different form customization options. 123FormBuilder has an intuitive drag-and-drop editor<\/a> available starting with the Free plan. When you log in, the dashboard shows four main menus: Create, Set up, Publish<\/em>, and Results<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Within these sections, you will find the various features and settings to help you personalize, publish, and monitor your online forms<\/a>. Each of the four sections has a submenu located on the left side as you click on it. There, you will find customization choices and features useful for your forms<\/a>. You also have advanced features: advanced conditional logic<\/a> and thank-you messages, email notifications, formula and upload field, payments, and more!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Microsoft Forms also has an intuitive interface, with three main menus: Questions<\/em> and Responses<\/em> on the left and Preview, Style, Collect Responses<\/em>, and Present<\/em> on the right top side. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the Questions<\/em> tab, you can personalize questions by type. To add a new question, press the + button from the form and select the question type (multiple choice, dropdown, short answer, long answer, linear scale, checkbox grid, etc.). The options for modifying field types<\/a>, colors, fonts, and borders are significantly limited, restricting design flexibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Responses<\/em> tab allows you to view answers and insights. The Style<\/em> menu allows you to make visual choices, like changing the form\u2019s background with a different color or photo. The Preview<\/em> button is pretty self-explanatory\u2014it allows you to view your form as your respondents would on desktop or mobile. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Collect Responses<\/em> menu allows you to share your form<\/a> in various ways to collect and protect form answers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

123FormBuilder excels at form templates, offering over 3,000 ready-to-use templates<\/a><\/strong>. There\u2019s one for everything, from sign-ups and contact forms<\/a> to order, payment, registration forms, quizzes, and surveys. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

By contrast, Microsoft Forms lacks a number of templates and categories available. There are only a limited number of categories, including feedback surveys<\/a>, registration forms, quizzes, and workflows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Payment Integrations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When you need an online form with a payment solution, the 123FormBuilder vs. Microsoft Forms debate clearly shows who wins. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

123FormBuilder integrates natively with known payment processors<\/a> like Stripe<\/a>, PayPal<\/a>, and Square<\/a>. Moreover, it allows users to add multiple payment processors<\/strong> per form. With our Microsoft Forms alternative, responders can choose which payment processor to use when paying for a product or service acquired from you. This gives them more flexibility and more reason to become your client. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
