Google Forms is simple and effective. When your organization must keep its data in Europe, collect a registration fee or connect answers to its newsletters, Mailpro goes further.

Why look for a Google Forms alternative?
The reasons come up again and again: knowing where your customers’ answers are stored and keeping them out of US clouds, presenting an on-brand form, collecting a payment at registration, receiving files from people without a Google account, or reusing answers in your campaigns. The Mailpro form builder covers these needs in a single tool, hosted in Switzerland.
Google Forms and Mailpro, side by side
Both tools create forms, surveys and quizzes. The differences lie in hosting, payments, file uploads and the link with your communication.

Your answers stay in Switzerland
Your forms are published on forms.mailpro.com; answers and uploaded files are stored in Switzerland. Captcha and a bot filter protect your forms from spam.
Security and GDPR →File uploads without a Google account
CVs, supporting documents, photos: respondents upload their files directly, without signing in. You choose the accepted types, the number of files (up to 5 per field) and the size (up to 20 MB per file).
File upload form →No Google or Mailpro account required from respondents
Get paid at registration
The Payment block adds a fixed amount or a price per choice, paid as soon as the form is sent. The money goes to your provider account, with no Mailpro commission.

The poll inside your newsletter
With the quick poll, the question sits in the email and every answer is a button: readers vote with one click, without opening a form. Results appear next to your campaign statistics.
