Movement

This is the first edition on this tier, so no move can be computed for Google Forms yet. The next is due October 1, 2026. From the next edition this section shows, per buyer segment, whether its share moved by more than the measured noise floor.

By model

How each model treated Google Forms across every prompt where it was named for a mid-market B2B company. Twelve models, six prompts per category.

What the models said for it

Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.

“For a truly limited budget, start with Google Forms — it's free, reliable, and handles basic feedback collection perfectly.” MiniMax M2.5 · Feedback · budget prompt · first choice
“If your budget is literally zero: Google Forms (or Tally if you want a more modern look) is the way to go.” DeepSeek V4 Flash · Feedback · budget prompt · first choice
“the best overall starting point is usually Google Forms if you only need basic surveys at zero cost” Perplexity Sonar · Feedback · budget prompt · first choice
“For simplicity and zero budget: Google Forms or SurveyPlanet, both are genuinely unlimited on free plans.” Claude Haiku 4.5 · 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.

“You are too large for simple, disconnected tools (like free Google Forms or basic Typeform accounts)” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Feedback · scale prompt · soft negative
“Zero design flexibility, no logic jumps on free tier, lower completion rates” Kimi K2 · Feedback · negative prompt · soft negative
“Google Forms & Microsoft Forms (Be cautious of: Branding & Security)” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Feedback · negative 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, four of the twelve in this edition, so these counts come from 8 of the 63 answers that named Google Forms and are not a share of its labels.

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.

It does not get any change to labels, shares or verdicts, any preview, or any say over which quotes appear. A verification link goes to your work email; an address at google.com is approved on the spot, any other address is reviewed by hand.

Your name and company appear on the claimed page, or the company alone if you ask below. A title and a LinkedIn address appear there too if you give them, and are left off if you do not. Your email address is never published.
