Open-source Google Forms alternatives

Formbricks is an open-source surveying and experience management platform, presented as an alternative to Qualtrics. It lets teams gather feedback at different points of the user journey through in-app, website, link and email surveys, and either use its prebuilt analysis features or build on top of it.

Surveys are created with a no-code editor that offers several question types and a set of ready-made templates. They can be targeted at specific user groups without changing application code, shared as links, and edited collaboratively by invited organization members. Integrations are available for Slack, Notion, Zapier, n8n and more, and the product is described as privacy-first.

The stack is TypeScript, Next.js, React, Tailwind CSS, Prisma and Auth.js. A hosted cloud version with a free plan is available, and the whole platform can also be self-hosted. The repository lists its licence as Other, so check the licence file for the exact terms before relying on it commercially.

HeyForm is an open-source form builder aimed at small businesses and teams that need to collect information or feedback. It focuses on conversational forms, which cover surveys, quizzes and polls, and lets people build them without writing code.

Forms can use many input types, from text, email and phone number fields to picture choices, date pickers and file uploads. Conditional logic and URL redirects make forms adapt to answers. Integrations include webhooks, analytics and marketing tools, plus Zapier and Make.com. Themes control fonts, colors and backgrounds, and custom CSS allows deeper branding. Analytics report drop-off and completion rates, and results can be exported to CSV.

HeyForm is written in TypeScript and released under the AGPL-3.0 licence. The maintainers recommend their official hosted service for reliability, automatic backups and no maintenance, and the open-source code remains available for teams that prefer to run it themselves.

LimeSurvey is a free and open-source platform for creating online surveys and forms. Since 2006 it has been used by businesses, professionals, academic institutions, teachers, governments and others in more than 80 countries, and it is positioned as an alternative to SurveyMonkey, Typeform, Qualtrics and Google Forms.

Features include conditional logic, question branching, customizable templates and multilingual support, along with responsive design for different screens. The application is built mainly with PHP and JavaScript and works with MySQL, PostgreSQL and Microsoft SQL Server databases. The README links to a demo, documentation, forums and Discord, and invites feature requests and bug reports.

LimeSurvey's license is listed as 'Other' on GitHub, reflecting its GPL-based licensing. You can install it on your own server for full data control, or use the vendor's hosted cloud service. It suits researchers, institutions and companies that need privacy-conscious surveys with advanced logic.

SurveyKing is an open-source platform for running surveys, graded exams and question-bank practice on your own infrastructure. It presents itself as a self-hosted alternative to SurveyMonkey, bringing content creation, publishing, responses, grading, analytics, users and permissions into one deployable system.

For surveys it offers responsive forms with many question types, conditional logic, themes and publishing controls, and forms can be created with AI, Excel, plain text, templates or a visual editor. Exams support reusable question banks, scoring, randomized content and automatic grading, while practice mode offers sequential, random and incorrect-answer drills with progress tracking, answer explanations, favorites and notes. Results can be analyzed by score, answer, ranking and question.

SurveyKing is written in Java with Spring Boot, licensed under MIT, and can be started with Docker using an embedded H2 database before moving to MySQL for production. The interface is available in several languages, including English and Simplified Chinese. It suits schools, training teams and businesses that want data ownership and survey features without a per-response subscription.

FormsLab is an open-source tool for building surveys, polls and feedback forms. It can serve as a feedback app for collecting customer opinions, as a poll creator for voting, or as a general survey builder, and it sits in the same space as hosted form services such as Typeform.

Forms can include many types of questions, so layouts are not limited to a fixed template and can be made to look distinct. Surveys can be anonymous, which suits feedback gathering, and the project calls itself an experience management solution. The stack is TypeScript, Next.js, React, TailwindCSS, MongoDB, Prisma and Auth.js.

Developers can run it locally with npm commands for installing, running, testing and linting, and the project welcomes contributions. A live instance is linked from the README for trying it out. FormsLab is released under the MIT license.

Forms.md, formerly known as Blocks.md, is a JavaScript library for building multi-step forms and surveys with very little code. It is positioned as an open-source alternative to Typeform for developers who prefer to embed and control forms in their own sites and apps.

The forms are meant to be production ready: privacy-focused, accessible, localizable and themeable. They fit onboarding flows, data collection and customer feedback. You create forms programmatically with the Composer class, then initialize them with the Formsmd class by passing in the template. It can be installed from npm or used in the browser by downloading the distribution files and including them with script and link tags.

Forms.md is licensed under Apache-2.0 and is free to use. Its topics mention Google Sheets integration, and the project provides a website and documentation for further guidance. It suits developers replacing hosted form builders with code-first forms.
