Shares here are read over the models both editions asked, so they can differ by a point or two from the standing above, which counts every model in this edition.
The floor is 13 points of share, measured: how far the models move a leader on their own when the same questions are asked twice with nothing changed. A larger change is movement; a smaller one is noise, and both are shown. Movement is read over the twelve models both editions asked; GPT-6 Luna, Muse Glimmer 30B joined this edition and are in the standing but not yet in the comparison.

Verbatim evidence attached to negative labels. A warning on a product with few labels is a warning; on a product with many, it is one voice among them.
“Mainstream form or storage services used for intake, such as Google Forms or other non-specialized databases” Perplexity Sonar · Whistleblowing · negative prompt · hard negative
“Basic Survey & Spreadsheet Tools (Excel, Google Forms, SurveyMonkey)... generally considered "toxic"” Qwen 3.7 Flash · 360 feedback · negative prompt · hard negative

Citations exist only for the models that return a source list, five of the fourteen in this edition, so these counts come from 54 of the 56 answers that named Google Forms and are not a share of its labels.
179 of the 179 domain citations in answers naming Google Forms came from somebody else's page.
Pages are listed as the models cited them.
Search figures are US estimates from DataForSEO, read September 28, 2026; AI search demand is its modeled, directional estimate, not a count of queries to any assistant. The answers are this edition's. Two measurements side by side: neither is read as the cause of the other.

Every page google.com exposes, subdomains included. Kind is read from the address and title. The last 90 days, the latest date and the twelve months count pages by when they were published, from the site's feeds, a date in the address, or the page's own publication date, read from up to a hundred of its most recently changed pages; a page that says only when it last changed is counted in its kind but not in when, so the recent counts are a floor, and a kind none of whose pages gives a publication date reads undated. Read September 29, 2026.

What Google Forms's own pages state, read September 28, 2026: google.com/forms/about, google.com/intl/af/forms/about, google.com/intl/id/forms/about, google.com/intl/ms/forms/about, google.com/intl/ca/forms/about. A claimed page can correct any of them.
Claiming is free and changes nothing in the data. A claimed page shows a verified contact who is told when each edition publishes and when Google Forms's standing changes by more than the noise floor; the right to propose corrections to the vendor table, meaning names the judge wrote that should or should not read as Google Forms, applied by version and listed in the change log; and a one-line description supplied by the vendor and marked as such.
A new claim receives the current edition's vendor brief for Google Forms by email, built from the raw record of the edition. It shows:
