# Forms vs Search Analytics

The clearest difference is monetization model: Search Analytics at free with in-app purchases against Forms's subscription. Search Analytics also leads on rating (4.1 vs 3.8) and ratings volume (229 vs 13). Forms's advantage is iOS requirement (16.0 vs 26.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Forms sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Search Analytics sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Search Analytics holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Search Analytics has 229 ratings behind it against 13, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 0% of Forms's written reviews are positive against 12% of Search Analytics's.

Forms ships an update fortnightly, Search Analytics monthly. Both last shipped on October 11, 2026.
