Is Forms.qa an alternative to Microsoft Forms?

Microsoft Forms is the default inside Microsoft 365 and handles quick internal polls well. Routing a response to approval, generating a document and collecting a signature means Power Automate flows and SharePoint add-ons. Forms.qa does it out of the box, Arabic-first, on one record.

What does Microsoft Forms cover beyond the form?

Microsoft Forms builds in: form. Partly, or through a separate product: approval, document, sign. Not offered: agreement. Forms.qa covers all five steps — form, approval, document, signature and agreement — on one record.

How does Forms.qa pricing compare to Microsoft Forms?

Microsoft Forms: Included with Microsoft 365 ($6+ / user / mo); Included with Microsoft 365 ($22+ / user / mo) (as of April 2026). Forms.qa is sold on enterprise agreements, priced per organisation.

Forms.qa vs. Microsoft Forms

Microsoft Forms comes with Microsoft 365. Approvals, documents and signatures are possible, but each is a separate product or flow to build and maintain.

Regional view

From Doha, Riyadh and Dubai.

Qatar

Many Qatari organisations work in Microsoft 365. Forms.qa complements it with Arabic-first processes that end in a signed, tracked agreement.

Saudi Arabia

Many Saudi enterprises run on Microsoft 365. Forms.qa sits alongside it for requests that need approvals, documents and signatures without building flows.

UAE

In Microsoft-heavy UAE organisations, Forms.qa covers the customer- and employee-facing processes where Arabic, branding and a signed outcome matter.

Gulf-wide

Microsoft Forms is "we have it". Forms.qa is the process from request to signed agreement, without a Power Automate project.
