Enform vs Google Forms
The short answer: Google Forms is the right free tool for quick internal polls. Pick Enform when the answers need reading: it groups open-ended responses by what people keep saying, pulls quotes, and drafts an editable deck instead of dumping rows into Sheets.
Google Forms is free, fast to spin up, and tied straight into Sheets and Drive — hard to beat for a quick poll or signup. Enform is built for the part Forms leaves to you: turning a research goal into the right questions, then turning raw responses into findings and slides.
Enform or Google Forms: which should you pick?
If you already know exactly what to ask and just need answers in a spreadsheet, Google Forms does that for free. If the hard part is writing questions that get honest answers and then reading 300 rows to find the story, that is the gap Enform was built for.
