The experience
A modern form, easy to build
Describe the form and AI builds the structure. You fine-tune the rest in the visual editor, no manual required. You pick the format too: conversational, one question at a time, or classic, with several fields on one screen, always on your brand and running smoothly on mobile and desktop.
AI from form to email
AI helps at every step of the form
Edit the form by prompt, personalize what each respondent sees, analyze answers in plain language, and send feedback by email.
Dynamic AI content
Each respondent sees content written on the spot, just for them, based on the answers they gave. Useful in quiz funnels and on ending screens.
Automatic feedback email
AI writes a personalized email for each respondent based on a prompt you set, and they get it the moment they submit.
Conversational AI analysis
Ask in plain language: "what did respondents complain about most?". AI reads the full set of answers and gives you the answer.
Sentiment and emotion
Each answer is classified by emotional tone, positive or negative. Handy for segmenting feedback or uncovering what drives your customers.
Logic
Segment your audience with advanced logic
Personalize each respondent's journey and segment your audience based on what each person answers. The experience gets more relevant, and the data you collect more precise.
DESIGN & BRANDING
Forms that look like your brand
Fine visual control, from the theme to the domain your form runs on.
Themes and visual identity
Ready-made or custom colors, fonts and styles. Every project with its own look.
Video and image in questions
Attach a short video or image to any question to add context without killing the pace.
Per-device layout
Adjust the layout and focal point of images for mobile, tablet and desktop separately.
Subdomain and custom domain
Publish on yourbrand.yayforms.link or survey.yourbrand.com.
INTEGRATIONS
Easily integrate with tools you already use
Send your form responses to a spreadsheet, email, or any other tool you already use through integrations that come in the box, or also via Webhook, Zapier, and Make.
Those are some of the main integrations we offer.

Frequently asked questions
Switching from SurveyMonkey to Yay! Forms
You have two routes. The Yay! team recreates your surveys for you within 24 hours, at no cost. Just fill in this migration form with the links to your current surveys. If you'd rather do it at your own pace, recreate them in the visual editor or build by prompt with AI.
No. Your response history can come across in the assisted migration so your reports stay complete. Survey logic is recreated too.
The main ones are there from Starter: insights, sentiment and emotion analysis, and keyword extraction. Conversational analysis, thematic classification and the AI feedback email come in on the Plus plan. On SurveyMonkey, sentiment and thematic analysis sit on Premier ($139/mo on the individual plan).
No. Users, workspaces and forms are unlimited on every plan, with no per-seat charge. SurveyMonkey requires a minimum of 3 users on the Team plan.
Yes, within your plan's response quota. The limit is clear from the start, and you don't pay extra to unlock responses that already came in.
Yes. You talk to a real person, not a chatbot or a maze of help articles. Customer support is included on every plan.
Yes, with native integrations on the Plus plan, no Zapier in the middle. For the rest of your stack there is webhook, Zapier and Make.
No. If you need advanced statistical analysis, or to buy responses from a ready-made panel, SurveyMonkey is the better-suited tool. Yay! Forms is a modern form builder with AI over your own responses.
No. If your procurement checklist requires one of those certifications, SurveyMonkey Enterprise covers it. For everything else, Yay! Forms runs on standard, industry-grade infrastructure.
