Rankd vs Google Forms
You can collect rankings in Google Forms with a multiple-choice grid, but then the counting is up to you, usually in a spreadsheet. Rankd is made for exactly this: add the options, send one link, and it counts everyone’s rankings and reveals the winner.
| Google Forms | Rankd | |
|---|---|---|
| Setting up a ranking | Build a grid of options and positions | Type the question and the options |
| On a phone | A grid of small buttons | Tap your favorites in order |
| Counting | You do it in a spreadsheet | Done for you |
| Reveal | Responses show as they arrive | Hidden until you reveal |
| Best for | Surveys with many kinds of questions | One ranked decision for a group |
Which one should you use?
- Use Google Forms when you need a full survey with text answers, many question types or file uploads.
- Use Rankd when you want one ranked decision from a group without building or counting anything.
