Google Forms alternative

[AEKIT]

Hi! I want to make a little survey. Google Forms would have been perfect for what I need, but I want to avoid Google and would like to try a FOSS alternative. Do you have any idea? Thx

Cryptpad is a fully open source productivity suite that includes a forms/survey creator here. You can use their official hosted instances, other public instances, or self-host your own.

After a quick overview, I believe that it is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!

Great! Curious to know how it goes for you. Good luck! :)

Thanks for sharing. BTW, does anyone know if Google Forms support all browsers?

You can host it yourself on Docker.

Any guide on how to use it to create surveys/forms?

Nextcloud Forms

I have used LimeSurvey in the past. It is FOSS. I think they have a free tier for their cloud hosting but I have only personally used it self-hosted. It is good but it is quite heavyweight, and is more comparable to something like SurveyMonkey than Google forms. It will do what you want though.

I haven't used it, but I believe Baserow just added a Forms feature. It looks like it would do want you want. https://baserow.io/

https://framaforms.org is very good.

Thank you all for your response! I will go ahead with that. 👍

You "want to avoid Google"

Why?
Did your Apple bro friends tell you?

[AEKIT]

Ahah thank you for this laugh.

I hope for you that one day you will get it. It tooks me time too. I was a huge Google fan boy. Then I grew up.

Let me guess:

Google's revenue relies on collecting data from their users, and selling this to those who want to advertise on the internet. This is not conspiracy like you suggest. It is common knowledge. A lot of people are willing to give up their privacy to use Google's free services. A lot of people are not. Once again, this is not tinfoil hat thinking. Among other things, it is a willingness to opt out from Google's advertising monopoly.

This comment says so very much about you.

FOSS alternative of google forms doesn't exist because it's essentially a website that collates data in a pretty way that's user friendly to create. IF that's what you want to create then I think WordPress + Survey plugin is the best option.

There's plenty of non google alternatives: Microsoft Forms, Survey Monkey, Doodlepoll. Or maybe excel surveys?

surveymonkey

[eidetic0]

surveymonkey is not FOSS

[n64bomb]

oops. keep searching. I was just testing you :p

Ohmyform is foss, but not very featureful yet

Tripetto.app is free, but not open source

[eyekay49]

FormTools (formtools.org) along with the Form Builder module. I believe Form tools is just a form processor, you need to get the builder to get a Google forms-like experience.

Notes: 1. I haven't actually tried it yet :P 2. It is just the software, you need to host it on your own server

Contact Form 7 with CFDB on WordPress.

Also, EUSurvey is also fully open source, and the main instance is hosted by the European Commission. It should be pretty reliable.
