Why Switch

Where Forms Expert Wins — and Where Microsoft Forms Does

Microsoft Forms is great inside M365. Fair enough indoors; this is about everything public-facing and developer-shaped it can’t do.

Embed and host anywhere

The same form ships as a hosted page on its own URL and an auto-resizing embed via @forms.expert/sdk (React, Vue, or vanilla JS) on any site. Set a type field; no M365 sign-in for respondents.

A real API and signed webhooks

Microsoft Forms has no native API or webhooks. Forms Expert gives you a REST endpoint with publishable (pk_) and secret (sk_) keys and signed webhooks that retry up to 5× with exponential backoff, so submissions flow into your own systems.

Branding, consent, and no response cliff

Build branded public forms, with GDPR cookie consent on every plan and flat pricing — 100 submissions on Free, then 1,000 / 10,000 / 100,000 — instead of a ~200-response wall. Per-field and funnel analytics come on Pro and up.

Where Microsoft Forms is stronger

For internal work, Microsoft Forms is hard to beat: it's free for Microsoft 365 users, has a near-zero learning curve, and its native Excel, Teams, and SharePoint integration is excellent. If your forms stay inside M365, it's a fair choice.

Moving Beyond Microsoft Forms

Yes. The same form ships as an auto-resizing embed via @forms.expert/sdk (React, Vue, or vanilla JS) or the raw iframe (/e/{slug}), plus a hosted page on its own URL. No Microsoft 365 login required.
