Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

AB Tasty

  • No transparent pricing published; requires custom sales conversation for any quote
  • Pricing determined by traffic volume, number of domains, and selected modules
  • No fixed pricing plans available; all customers receive individualized proposals

Google Forms

  • Forms has no service toggle of its own and is governed by the Drive and Docs service, so an administrator cannot disable it for an organisational unit without also disabling Docs, Sheets, Slides and Drive for those same users.
  • Data Regions covers Forms only for data at rest and not during processing, Business Starter gets no data regions at all, and Forms is excluded from client-side encryption and unmentioned in Assured Controls, so the residency guarantees are weaker than for Gmail or Drive.
  • Google Vault has no Forms-specific retention rule, hold or export, reaching forms only as Drive files, which means survey responses are reliably retainable only when they are routed to a linked Google Sheet.
  • Adding a file upload question requires every respondent to sign in to a Google account, which destroys anonymity and excludes anyone without one, and uploaded files consume the form owner personal Drive quota rather than an organisational pool.
  • File uploads are disabled when a form lives in a shared drive, so the ownership pattern that survives a staff departure and the upload feature are mutually exclusive, and a deleted owner Drive files are recoverable for only twenty days.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

AB Tasty: How does AB Tasty calculate pricing?

AB Tasty pricing is customized based on average traffic over the past 12 months or monthly active users (MAUs). The vendor does not offer fixed pricing plans and instead builds custom proposals around each customer's business goals and scope.

Source
Google Forms: Can I buy Google Forms separately?

No. It is bundled with Drive and the Docs editors in every Workspace edition and is free with a personal Google account. There is no standalone SKU.

AB Tasty: What factors affect AB Tasty pricing besides traffic volume?

Pricing is customized based on traffic volume, number of domains, selected modules, and implementation scope. All pricing includes platform access, onboarding, training, and support with no hidden fees or surprise overage charges.

Source
Google Forms: How many responses can one form take?

Google publishes no limit. The practical ceiling is the linked Google Sheet at ten million cells. The documented 300 figure is pieces of content per form, not questions and not responses.

AB Tasty: Does AB Tasty offer a free trial or proof of concept?

AB Tasty does not offer a traditional free trial. Instead, the vendor provides a free proof of concept evaluation typically lasting 1 to 2 weeks to assess platform fit before purchase commitment.

Source
Google Forms: Can I turn Forms off but keep Drive?

No. Forms is controlled by the Drive and Docs service toggle. You can restrict external sharing of forms per organisational unit, but you cannot disable Forms alone.

Google Forms: Are responses covered by Vault?

Only as Drive files. There is no Forms-specific hold or export, so route responses to a linked Sheet if they need to be retained or produced in discovery.
