A Google Forms alternative without the Google account
Google Forms is excellent if you live in Google Workspace. FormCraft is for when you’d rather not sign in, want the form as HTML on your own site, or don’t want responses sitting in a third-party account.

Questions people ask
Is there a Google Forms alternative that needs no account?
FormCraft needs no account to build or to fill in. Forms are stored in your browser and shared as a self-contained link.
Can FormCraft collect responses like Google Forms?
Not by itself. Google Forms stores every response in your Google account and FormCraft stores none. Respondents send answers to your email, or the form posts to an endpoint you control. If you want an automatic response spreadsheet with zero setup, Google Forms is the better fit.
