What is Microsoft Forms?

It is free for anyone with a Microsoft account; Microsoft 365 Personal and Family subscribers get premium extras such as more respondents and templates.
Pros

- Fits neatly with Excel, Teams and OneDrive
- Simple quiz builder for classes and training
Cons

- Fewer design and logic options than dedicated form builders
