Comparison
Toimii vs Google Forms
Google Forms is free, familiar and quick to set up — genuinely hard to beat for an internal survey or a quiz. On a customer-facing site the trade-offs show: the form is served from Google inside an iframe, it keeps Google's branding, and responses collect in a list rather than an inbox. Toimii embeds as a web component in your own page and puts every submission in a dashboard with a ticket reference.

Where they really differ
Google's branding stays on the form
Every published Google Form carries Google's logo and a line telling visitors never to submit passwords through it — no setting removes either. On a consumer account it also says the content is 'neither created nor endorsed by Google.' A Toimii component renders in your page's own DOM, in the colors and fonts you set in the visual editor.
Where the response goes next
A Google Form collects responses in its own Responses tab; a linked spreadsheet is a step you take afterwards. Toimii writes each submission to your dashboard with a ticket reference the customer can quote, searchable and filterable, and routes it on to email, Slack, a webhook, or the Toimii app on your phone.
More than forms
Google Forms covers forms, surveys and quizzes. Toimii also covers booking, feedback, ordering and a pricing calculator. Each is its own component with its own two-line snippet, but they share one dashboard, one set of brand settings, and the same notification routing.
Frequently asked
Can I still get submissions into a spreadsheet?
There's no Google Sheets integration today. Submissions live in the dashboard and you can export them all as CSV whenever you want. If a live Sheets sync is central to how you work, that's something Google Forms does for you and we don't.
Do visitors need a Google account?
For an ordinary form, no. But Google documents two cases where they do: a file-upload question requires the respondent to sign in to a Google Account, and so does limiting the form to one response per person. A Toimii form never asks the visitor to sign in, file attachments included.
Google Forms is free. What am I paying for?
For a staff survey, a sign-up sheet or a quiz, nothing — Google Forms is free and it's the right tool. What you'd pay for is the public-facing case: a form that looks like your business, and submissions that arrive with a ticket reference in a dashboard you can work from.
