Public, Embeddable, and API-Driven Forms for When M365 Can't
Microsoft Forms is genuinely great for quick internal surveys and quizzes inside Microsoft 365. We don't pretend otherwise. Forms Expert competes on the outside: fully branded, public forms with one definition that ships as a hosted page, an embeddable widget, and a real REST API.
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.
