Question 1

Is Formalingo really free?

Accepted Answer

During our pilot period, all plans are completely free with full features and no response limits. No credit card required.

Question 2

Microsoft Forms is free with Microsoft 365 — why switch?

Accepted Answer

Microsoft Forms is a basic tool designed for simple surveys and quizzes. Formalingo offers 31 question types (vs 10), AI form generation from documents, built-in digital signatures, payment collection, and advanced analytics — features Microsoft Forms does not provide.

Question 3

Can Formalingo collect payments like Microsoft Forms cannot?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Formalingo supports payment collection through Stripe and Paddle directly within your forms. Microsoft Forms has no built-in payment capability.

Question 4

Does Formalingo work outside the Microsoft ecosystem?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Formalingo is a standalone platform that works in any browser. It includes built-in integrations with Slack, Google Sheets, webhooks, and more — no Microsoft 365 subscription required.

Question 5

What question types does Formalingo support that Microsoft Forms does not?

Accepted Answer

Formalingo supports 31 question types including digital signatures, file uploads, sliders, currency fields, matrix questions, ranking, opinion scales, picture choice, address fields, date ranges, and calculations — all unavailable in Microsoft Forms.
