No credit card. Unlimited forms and submissions on Free.
When Pipeback is worth comparing with Google Forms
Google Forms is free and part of Google Workspace. Pipeback is free too, and gives your forms your own design, your own domain on Pro and more places to send each answer.
Forms that look like your brand
Pipeback gives every form themes, colors, Google Fonts, your logo and a cover, on Free. Pro adds your own domain and removes the branding.
Uploads without a Google sign-in
In Google Forms, people must sign in to a Google Account to answer a file upload question. Pipeback forms take files from anyone: 10 MB per file on Free, unlimited on Pro.
Answers beyond Sheets
Pipeback sends each answer to Google Sheets, and also to Notion, Airtable, Slack, Discord, Coda, Linear, Attio or a webhook, on Free.
Logic that does the math
Pipeback has conditional logic, calculations, answer piping and hidden fields you fill from the link. Google Forms can jump to a section based on an answer.
