Shares here are read over the models both editions asked, so they can differ by a point or two from the standing above, which counts every model in this edition.

The floor is 11 points of share, measured: how far the models move a leader on their own when the same questions are asked twice with nothing changed. A larger change is movement; a smaller one is noise, and both are shown. Movement is read over the twelve models both editions asked; GPT-6 Luna, Muse Glimmer 30B joined this edition and are in the standing but not yet in the comparison.

What the models said for it

Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.

“Start with Google Forms if you have a truly limited budget. It's completely free, has no response limits” Kimi K2 · Feedback · budget prompt · first choice
“I'd suggest starting with Google Forms (if very basic needs) or HubSpot Free + a simple form tool” MiniMax M2.5 · Event lead capture · budget prompt · first choice
“Google Forms is the best customer feedback and survey platform for a company with a limited budget.” Grok 4.20 · Feedback · budget prompt · first choice
“Google Forms – Best free option, with unlimited responses and basic analytics.” Mistral Small · Feedback · budget prompt · first choice

And against it

Verbatim evidence attached to negative labels. A warning on a product with few labels is a warning; on a product with many, it is one voice among them.

“Why avoid: ... generic QR-code forms (Google Forms, Typeform)... Web-only solutions require a continuous, strong internet connection” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Event lead capture · negative prompt · hard negative
“Avoid this for professional customer feedback.” GLM 4.7 FlashX · Feedback · negative prompt · hard negative
“excellent entry-level tool ... though it lacks advanced features like real-time reporting or customization options” Claude Haiku 4.5 · Feedback · comparative prompt · soft negative
“you are too large for basic, siloed survey tools (like Google Forms or basic Typeform accounts)” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Feedback · scale prompt · soft negative

What carried it into the answer

The sites and pages cited by the answers that named Google Forms. A fact about retrieval, not a lever on the model.

Citations exist only for the models that return a source list, five of the fourteen in this edition, so these counts come from 97 of the 103 answers that named Google Forms and are not a share of its labels.

Search figures are US estimates from DataForSEO, read September 28, 2026; AI search demand is its modeled, directional estimate, not a count of queries to any assistant. The answers are this edition's. Two measurements side by side: neither is read as the cause of the other.

Is this your product?

Claim this page

Claiming is free and changes nothing in the data. A claimed page shows a verified contact who is told when each edition publishes and when Google Forms's standing changes by more than the noise floor; the right to propose corrections to the vendor table, meaning names the judge wrote that should or should not read as Google Forms, applied by version and listed in the change log; and a one-line description supplied by the vendor and marked as such.

What a new claim receivesHide what a new claim receives

A new claim receives the current edition's vendor brief for Google Forms by email, built from the raw record of the edition. It shows:

  • where Google Forms is named, by buyer and by framing, and which cells hold its first choices;
  • the claims the models make when they name it, ranked, with the strongest and the weakest quoted;
  • its vocabulary against the segment leader's, and the pages the models cited;
  • who was chosen in the answers that did not name Google Forms, and every reason the record gives;
  • a battlecard for each top rival: the head-to-head split, why they win, and the reservation quoted against them;
  • one page of published figures cleared to show a buyer.
The subscriber app

A verification link goes to your work email; an address at google.com is approved on the spot, any other is reviewed by hand. Your email is never published. Claiming gives no say over labels, shares, verdicts or which quotes appear.
