Why Choose Atlas for Business?

Professional features Google Forms doesn't offer

Custom Design

Build forms that match your brand exactly. Google Forms looks like... Google Forms. Atlas forms look like your website because they are part of your website.

  • Full CSS control
  • Works with any framework
  • No iframe limitations

Real-time Webhooks

Get instant notifications when forms are submitted. Google Forms requires polling Google Sheets or third-party services like Zapier.

  • Instant webhook delivery
  • HMAC signatures for security
  • Automatic retry on failure

Developer-Friendly API

Query submissions, manage forms, and build integrations with a modern REST API. Google Forms relies on the Sheets API which is complex and limited.

  • RESTful endpoints
  • Filtering and pagination
  • OpenAPI documentation

Professional Experience

Forms stay on your domain with zero third-party branding. Users never know you're using Atlas - they just see your professional website.

  • No Google branding
  • No redirect to external domains
  • Custom success messages

Moving from Google Forms

Upgrade to professional forms in minutes

1

Build your custom form

Create an HTML form in your website that matches your design perfectly. No more Google Forms iframe or redirect.

2

Create Atlas endpoint

Sign up for Atlas and get your form endpoint URL. Point your form to it:

<form action="https://atlasforms.app/f/abc123" method="POST">
  <input name="email" type="email" required />
  <input name="name" type="text" />
  <button type="submit">Submit</button>
</form>
3

Set up notifications

Configure webhooks to send data to your CRM, Slack, Discord, or any other service. Much faster than Google Forms email notifications.

4

Migrate historical data (optional)

Export your Google Forms responses as CSV and import them into Atlas if needed. Or start fresh - your choice.

When to use each? Google Forms is perfect for quick surveys and internal team polls. Atlas is better for professional websites, customer-facing forms, and when you need webhooks or API access.
