Comparison
KwikUp vs Google Forms + a payment link
Google Forms is excellent for free surveys and quizzes, and we’d recommend it for those. When you’re charging for an event, course or booking, the usual setup — a form, a separate payment link and a spreadsheet to match them — is where time and money get lost. Here’s the honest difference.
| What you need | Google Forms + payment link | KwikUp |
|---|---|---|
| Free to use | Yes | Free; managed commission (2%–10%) only on paid sales |
| Simple surveys and quizzes | Yes | Yes |
| Responses in a spreadsheet | Google Sheets | CSV export |
| Take payment in the same step | Not built in | Yes |
| Registration confirmed only after payment | Not built in | Yes |
| Ticket types, seat limits and early-bird prices | Not built in | Yes |
| QR ticket for every attendee | Not built in | Yes |
| Check-in on any phone, attendance per day | Not built in | Yes |
