Microsoft Forms alternative

The Microsoft Forms alternative built for your own website

Microsoft Forms is made for surveys and quizzes inside Microsoft 365, and every response stays in your tenant for you to read in Forms or open in Excel. Amabrik is made for the form on your public site: it renders inline with your fonts and colors, and it forwards each submission straight to your CRM, email tool or webhook. We store nothing on our side, and the same snippet brings nine more widgets with no cap on how many people fill your forms.

Why switch

Why Amabrik is a website-first Microsoft Forms alternative

What changes when the form moves out of Microsoft 365 and onto the page your customers actually visit.

The form sits in your page, not in an iframe

Microsoft Forms gives you an embed code that loads the form inside an iframe, so visitors see a Microsoft-styled form sitting in a box on your page. You can pick a theme from the gallery, upload a background image and set a custom hex color, and that's where the styling stops. Amabrik renders the form inline in your own markup with your fonts, colors, corner radius and button text, in one or two columns. It reads as part of the page because it is part of the page, and there's no iframe height to fight with on mobile.

Submissions reach your CRM without a flow to build

Microsoft Forms has no native CRM connector. Getting a response into HubSpot, Mailchimp or your own system means building a Power Automate flow or an Azure Logic App that triggers on each new response, maps the answers and calls the destination, so that's a second product to learn and keep working. An Amabrik form points straight at Mailchimp, Brevo, ActiveCampaign, Klaviyo, MailerLite or any webhook, with a notification email to your team and an auto-reply to the person who filled it in. You pick the destination in the editor and each submission is forwarded the moment it lands.

The response cap depends on which account you signed in with

Microsoft publishes the numbers: up to 400 forms per account, up to 200 questions per form, and responses per form capped at 200 on a free personal Microsoft account, 1,000 on a paid personal account, and up to 5,000,000 on a work or school account. A public website form built on a free personal account stops collecting at 200. Amabrik puts no cap on responses on any plan, so a good week of traffic never triggers an upgrade.

Nothing you collect is stored on our side

Microsoft Forms keeps every response in your Microsoft 365 tenant, where you read it in the responses tab or open it in Excel. Amabrik never stores a submission: it forwards to your connected tool and is gone from our side, because there is no submissions table. That leaves no second copy of your customer data for you to secure, export on a subject access request, or delete.

Fields that appear based on earlier answers

Microsoft Forms branches by sending the respondent to a later question or section, and it only moves forward: a question can branch to a following one, never back to a preceding one. Amabrik works at field level instead. Fields show or hide based on what someone already answered, and a long form splits into steps with a progress indicator, so each person sees only what applies to them and finishes faster.

One snippet, ten widgets, two scanners

Microsoft Forms is a form and survey tool. The same Amabrik snippet also adds cookie consent, a banner, popups, an AI chatbot, reviews, social feeds, social proof, bookings and a chat button, plus a Security scan and an SEO and AEO scan. One script tag, one bill, and the consent box on your form is backed by a real consent widget on the same site.

FAQ

Microsoft Forms alternative FAQ

Still deciding? Ask us and we answer fast.

Amabrik is the best Microsoft Forms alternative when the form belongs on your own public site, because it renders inline with your fonts and colors and forwards every submission straight to Mailchimp, Brevo, ActiveCampaign, Klaviyo, MailerLite or any webhook, with nothing kept by us and no cap on responses. It costs $59 a year for one site or $99 once for unlimited sites, after a 7-day free trial with no card. The honest exception is data you want to query and chart in one place: if you need responses stored, graded or summarized, a database-first builder like Jotform or Typeform fits better, and Microsoft Forms itself is hard to beat for internal surveys inside Microsoft 365.

Microsoft documents the cap per form by account type: up to 200 responses on a free personal Microsoft account, up to 1,000 on a paid personal account, up to 50,000 on GCC High and DoD accounts, and up to 5,000,000 on a standard work or school account. Each account also gets up to 400 forms, and each form takes up to 200 questions. Amabrik has no response cap on any plan, so the number of people who fill your form never changes your bill.

Yes, with limits worth checking before you build on it. You can create forms with a free personal Microsoft account, and Microsoft caps those at 200 responses per form. A paid personal account raises that to 1,000, and a work or school account through Microsoft 365 goes up to 5,000,000. For a public website, the question is whether 200 responses and an iframe are enough.

Yes, Microsoft Forms gives you an embed code under the sharing options, and it loads the form inside an iframe on your page. It works, but the form keeps Microsoft's layout and styling, you're limited to a theme, a background image and a hex color, and the iframe is a fixed box you have to size yourself. An Amabrik form is rendered inline by the same script tag that runs your other widgets, so it inherits your fonts, colors and spacing and flows with the page.

You do it through Power Automate, because Microsoft Forms has no native CRM connector. The usual pattern is a flow (or an Azure Logic App) that triggers when a new response arrives, maps the answers to fields, and calls your CRM connector or an HTTP endpoint. It works, and it's another automation to build and maintain. Amabrik skips that layer: you pick the destination on the form itself and each submission is forwarded the instant it lands, with a notification email and an auto-reply alongside it.

No, and this is the design, not a setting. Each submission is forwarded to your connected CRM, email tool or webhook the moment it arrives, then it's gone from our side. There is no submissions table, no responses viewer and no export, because there's nothing to export from. Your customer data only ever lives in the systems you already run, which is one fewer third-party dataset to account for under GDPR.

No, Amabrik has no quiz mode. Microsoft Forms does quizzes properly, with points, answer keys, automatic grading and per-question response charts you read inside Forms, and none of that has an Amabrik equivalent because Amabrik doesn't keep the answers. If you're running a class quiz, an internal survey or anything where you need the results summarized in one place, Microsoft Forms is the right tool and you should stay on it.

Every Amabrik form ships with an invisible captcha, rate limiting and a domain allowlist, all on by default. The invisible captcha is a proof of work challenge the browser solves quietly, so nobody has to identify traffic lights to contact you. The domain allowlist means a copied snippet can't run on another site, and the rate limit stops a bot flood before it ever reaches your CRM.

If the site can take a script tag, yes. Amabrik runs on WordPress, Shopify, Webflow, Squarespace, Wix, Framer, Ghost and custom builds, along with sites generated by Lovable, v0, Bolt and Cursor. The loader is under 5 KB, loads async, and code-splits so a page only downloads the widgets it uses. The country and address picker, for example, only loads on forms that actually have an address field.

One snippet adds 10 widgets: cookie consent, a banner, popups, forms, an AI chatbot, reviews, social feeds, social proof, bookings and a chat button. It also includes a Security scan that finds leaked keys, exposed files and missing headers, and an SEO and AEO scan that scores how well Google and AI answer engines can read your pages. Every finding comes with a copy-paste fix prompt you can hand to Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor.
