The short version

  • Only Microsoft Forms has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Madgicx core plan pricing is not published upfront and instead scales with monthly ad spend, making cost comparison difficult before signing up.; Microsoft Forms the Advanced Data Residency add-on explicitly does not cover Microsoft Forms, so a tenant that has paid for regional residency still has its survey responses provisioned according to best-effort guidance rather than a contractual commitment.
  • They diverge on capability: Madgicx covers AI automation rules, Microsoft Forms covers Bundled licensing.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 31 August 2026.

Where each one falls short

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

Madgicx

  • Core plan pricing is not published upfront and instead scales with monthly ad spend, making cost comparison difficult before signing up.
  • Server-to-server tracking and enhanced attribution are gated behind a separate $49/month Tracking Pro add-on rather than included by default.
  • The free trial is limited to 7 days, shorter than the 14-day trials common among competing ad platforms.

Microsoft Forms

  • The Advanced Data Residency add-on explicitly does not cover Microsoft Forms, so a tenant that has paid for regional residency still has its survey responses provisioned according to best-effort guidance rather than a contractual commitment.
  • Above 50,000 responses a form degrades sharply: only CSV export continues to work, while summary charts, viewing individual responses, printing, shared summary links and manual quiz grading all stop.
  • Forms belonging to an account that is hard deleted, or deleted more than thirty days earlier, are not recoverable at all, so an unmanaged leaver process destroys survey data silently.
  • The administrator settings that govern external sharing, template sharing and result summary sharing are only available to education and Microsoft 365 Apps for business customers, leaving many commercial tenants without the controls the documentation describes.
  • A summary sharing link that has already been created continues to work for anyone inside or outside the organisation even after the form is restricted, so tightening permissions does not close an existing leak unless the link is deleted explicitly.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Madgicx: How is Madgicx priced?

The core plan's price scales with a business's monthly ad spend rather than a flat fee, with monthly, quarterly, or annual billing options.

Source
Microsoft Forms: Can I buy Microsoft Forms on its own?

No. It exists only as a service plan inside Microsoft 365, Office 365 and education or government SKUs, or free with a consumer Microsoft account. There is no standalone product to purchase.

Madgicx: Is there a free trial?

Madgicx offers a 7-day free trial with no credit card required, including access to all features and up to 5 report dashboards.

Source
Microsoft Forms: Where are responses stored?

In the United States for most tenants, in the EU and EFTA region for EU tenants, and in Australia only for Forms provisioned after October 2022. Microsoft states this is guidance, not a residency commitment.

Madgicx: What does Madgicx integrate with?

One-Click Reports pull data from Meta Ads, Google Ads, Google Analytics 4, Shopify, Klaviyo, and TikTok across unlimited ad accounts.

Source
Microsoft Forms: Can an administrator read someone else responses?

Not while that user account is active; ownership transfer is refused. Yes once the account is disabled or deleted, and yes through premium eDiscovery, which is still labelled preview.

Madgicx: Can I cancel the trial anytime?

The free trial can be cancelled anytime with no penalties mentioned on the pricing page.

Source
Microsoft Forms: How do I turn Forms off for the organisation?

Disable both the Microsoft Forms and the Office Hive enterprise applications in Entra ID, or clear the Forms checkbox per user. Both applications must be disabled for it to take effect.
