Feature comparison
Where Filla wins
Airtable-native connection
Filla connects directly to Airtable. Google Forms has no Airtable integration. Getting Google Forms data into Airtable requires Zapier, Make, or manual CSV import.
Advanced conditional logic
Filla supports field-level show/hide rules, conditional read-only, conditional page visibility, and custom validation rules with a visual filter builder. Google Forms only supports basic section-level branching.
Full custom branding
Custom logo, favicon, accent color, 6 header image positions, custom domain, and branding removal. Google Forms only offers a color theme and header image.
18 processor tools and document generation
CSV export, duplicate detection, email validation, geocoding, document generation, bulk email, and more. Google Forms stores data in Sheets with no processing capabilities.
Linked records and edit mode
Create and link records across Airtable tables. Edit existing records via login pages. Google Forms only creates new spreadsheet rows.
Where Google Forms wins
Completely free
Google Forms is free for unlimited forms and responses. Filla's free plan is limited to 100 records/mo, and paid plans start at $19/mo.
Google Workspace integration
Google Forms is deeply integrated with Google Sheets, Google Drive, Google Classroom, and Google Workspace. Filla only integrates with Airtable.
Simple and familiar
Google Forms requires zero learning curve for anyone in the Google ecosystem. Filla has more features but requires connecting to Airtable first.
Real-time collaboration
Multiple people can edit a Google Form simultaneously with real-time cursors. Filla supports team collaboration but not simultaneous editing.
More than a form builder
Filla is a complete data platform for Airtable. Every tool works together.
