Microsoft's answer to Google Forms, wired into Teams
Microsoft Forms is Microsoft's cloud-based tool for creating surveys, quizzes, and polls. You build forms in a browser, share links or embed them in Teams, and view responses with built-in charts and Excel export.
Made for people who already pay for Microsoft 365
- Teams already using Microsoft 365 who need quick feedback collection
- Educators running quizzes and knowledge checks
- Businesses wanting Teams polls, SharePoint embedding, and Power Automate workflows
Free with any Microsoft account, priced only as part of 365
Microsoft Forms is free with a personal Microsoft account. It is included with Microsoft 365 business and education plans. There is no standalone Forms purchase. Response limits vary by account type (personal vs. work/school).
200 questions per form, and a response limit tied to your account
- Personal accounts have much lower response caps than Microsoft 365 tenants
- Advanced branding and deeper analytics may require Dynamics 365 Customer Voice
- Some features vary by plan or government cloud environment
- Each form is capped at 200 questions
Fine inside Microsoft 365, thin everywhere else
If your organization already runs on Microsoft 365, Forms is the path of least resistance: it is paid for already, it drops into Teams, and Power Automate can route whatever it collects. Outside that tenant it is the weaker tool, with 200 questions per form and a response cap that changes depending on whether your account is personal, work, or school. We would not pick it as a standalone product for anyone. If you want something that does not assume a Microsoft login, the free Microsoft Forms alternatives are the place to look.
