Free and familiar vs API-first and programmable
Google Forms is free and works fine for surveys. Everyone knows how to use it. Responses flow into a Google Sheet. For internal surveys or quick feedback, it is honestly hard to justify paying for anything else.
But there is no API, no webhooks, no way to create forms programmatically. Sutrena is an API-first platform for pages, forms, and analytics. You send JSON, you get a hosted form, you track visitors with privacy-first analytics. AI agents can do all of it through 67 MCP tools.
For AI agents, Sutrena has 67 MCP tools and a full REST API. Google Forms was built for humans clicking through a visual editor — no programmatic API for agents to create forms, no way to automate form creation workflows.
