What is Microsoft Forms?
Microsoft Forms is a web-based survey, quiz, and poll builder from Microsoft, included with Microsoft 365 personal, family, business, and education subscriptions. It supports common question formats such as choice, text, rating, date, ranking, Likert scale, file upload, and Net Promoter Score, along with customizable templates and branching logic.
Results can be viewed with built-in charts or exported to Excel, and Forms integrates closely with Teams, SharePoint, and Power Automate for workflow automation. It is not sold as a standalone product; personal accounts get a free tier capped at 200 responses per form, while Microsoft 365 subscriptions raise those limits and unlock more storage. Pricing for business plans starts at $7 per user per month billed annually for Microsoft 365 Business Basic.
