Two popular form builders compared on the same 25-row feature matrix and pricing, with FormBuilder shown as a third column so you can see another option to consider.
Overview
Microsoft Forms is the survey and quiz builder that ships with Microsoft 365. It started in Office 365 Education as a quiz tool for teachers and has since become the default way Microsoft shops collect feedback, run polls in Teams meetings, and grade simple quizzes. Anyone with a personal Microsoft account can use it free; work and school accounts get it as part of their Microsoft 365 licence.
The builder is deliberately simple: a handful of question types (choice, text, rating, date, ranking, Likert, Net Promoter Score, file upload), basic branching, themes, and automatic response charts. Its real advantage is the plumbing around it — responses land in Excel with one click, forms can be dropped into Teams, SharePoint, OneNote and PowerPoint, and Power Automate can trigger a flow on every submission. Copilot can now draft a form from a prompt inside Microsoft 365.
Wufoo launched in 2006 and was acquired by SurveyMonkey in 2011. It is a straightforward, single-page form builder: drag fields onto a form, set a few rules, pick a theme, and share a hosted link or embed. Millions of forms have been built on it, and much of its appeal is that it still works the way it did a decade ago — predictable, unflashy and stable.
The feature set covers the essentials of everyday business forms: field rules for conditional logic, page breaks for multi-step forms, file uploads, payment collection through Stripe, Square, PayPal and Authorize.net, a report builder for simple charts, an API and webhooks, and a Zapier connector. Notification emails, redirect rules and a theme designer round it out.
