Microsoft Forms alternative

A Microsoft-friendly form builder for richer team workflows

Formspace is a useful Microsoft Forms alternative when your team wants a dedicated form workspace, Microsoft Teams integration, templates, uploads, signatures, and response management.

Built to work alongside Microsoft Teams

Formspace can run inside Microsoft Teams while still giving teams a dedicated form builder and response management experience.

  • Use the dashboard from a Teams tab.
  • Pin published forms into Teams contexts.
  • Support Microsoft account and organization access workflows.

Evaluate richer form requirements

If your forms need operational templates, uploads, signatures, detailed response review, or team-level management, Formspace is worth testing as part of your Microsoft 365 workflow.

  • Rebuild a current internal form as a Formspace template.
  • Test how responses are reviewed and exported by the team.
  • Confirm access-control requirements before publishing.
