Google Forms Alternative

The best Google Forms alternative for waivers

Everything Google Forms can't do for waivers — signature capture, legal compliance, QR codes, and more.

Why businesses switch from Google Forms

Legally binding signatures, not checkboxes

Google Forms can collect a checkbox or typed name, but that doesn't meet ESIGN Act requirements. WaiverDrop captures drawn signatures, IP addresses, timestamps, and user agents — creating an evidence trail that holds up.

Professional waiver experience

A Google Form looks like a Google Form. WaiverDrop gives your customers a branded, professional signing experience with QR codes, mobile-optimized signing, and instant PDF copies.

Find any signed waiver in seconds

Google Forms dumps responses into a spreadsheet. WaiverDrop gives you a searchable waiver archive with signer details, timestamps, and downloadable signed PDFs.

Free plan with real waiver features

WaiverDrop's free plan includes 30 waivers/month with signature capture, ESIGN compliance, QR codes, and PDF generation — features Google Forms simply doesn't have at any price.

Frequently asked questions

Can I legally use Google Forms as a waiver?
You can collect agreement checkboxes with Google Forms, but it lacks signature capture, IP logging, and the compliance framework courts look for in digital waivers. A Google Form waiver may not hold up if challenged. WaiverDrop is ESIGN Act compliant from the ground up.
Google Forms is free. Why would I pay for WaiverDrop?
If you're a casual hobby group collecting informal agreements, Google Forms may be fine. But if you're a business that needs legally binding waivers — with signatures, compliance, QR codes, kiosk mode, and a searchable archive — WaiverDrop's free plan gives you all of that for up to 30 waivers/month.
Can I add a signature field to Google Forms?
Google Forms doesn't have a native signature field. Some third-party add-ons exist, but they're unreliable and don't provide ESIGN compliance. WaiverDrop includes drawn signature capture on every waiver, along with timestamp, IP address, and user agent logging.
How do I switch from Google Forms to WaiverDrop?
Sign up for WaiverDrop (free, no credit card), pick an industry template or create a custom waiver, and share your new waiver link or QR code. You can be live in 5 minutes. Previously collected Google Forms responses remain in your Google account.
