Direct importer coming soon

Switch from Google Forms to Surveyz

Google Forms is great for the basics — but when you need branching logic, real proper analytics, e-signature forms and POPIA-compliant South African hosting, it's time to level up. A direct importer is coming soon; today you can move across fast with our generic CSV template.

Why teams outgrow Google Forms

Google Forms is free and familiar, but it hits limits fast. Surveyz gives you the next level without the enterprise price tag.

Branching logic

Show or skip questions based on previous answers — something Google Forms only does in a limited, clunky way.

Real-time analytics

Live completion rates, score breakdowns and exports to CSV, XLSX or SPSS — not just a basic summary tab.

POPIA & SA hosting

Hosted in Azure South Africa North — keep respondents' personal information on local soil, with POPIA-aware defaults.

E-signature forms

Run ECT-Act-aligned petitions, consent forms and attendance registers — something Google Forms simply can't do.

How to bring your Google Form across

A direct Google Forms importer is coming soon. Until it lands, the quickest route is our generic CSV template — a simple spreadsheet of your questions and options that imports straight into a draft.

  1. Create a free Surveyz account (or sign in) and open the import wizard from your dashboard.
  2. Choose the CSV/XLSX source and download the import template — the same template the wizard provides, with a column for each part of a question.
  3. Open your Google Form and copy each question and its options into the template. (Google Forms' edit view lists every question in order, which makes this quick.)
  4. Upload the completed CSV/XLSX, review the mapping, and create your draft survey — then add branching logic and re-brand before you publish.

Straight talk: there's no one-click Google Forms importer yet, so today the CSV route involves a little copy-and-paste. It's quick for most forms, and importing is free on every plan. Your existing Google Forms responses stay in your linked Google Sheet — keep them there for your records.

FAQ

Is there a one-click Google Forms importer?

Not yet — it's coming soon. For now you recreate your form using our generic CSV/XLSX template, which the import wizard provides.

Will my historical Google Forms responses come across?

No. Only your form structure moves. Your existing responses stay in the Google Sheet linked to your form — export them there for your records.

Is this POPIA compliant?

Yes. Surveyz is hosted in South Africa and built with POPIA in mind. See our POPIA Compliance page.

Does importing cost anything?

No. Import is free on every plan, including the free tier — just like Google Forms, but with far more capability.
