Comparison
SoRoster vs. Google Forms
TL;DR: Google Forms is free and familiar but lacks product variants, structured address fields, per-recipient edit links and an order-ready CSV export. SoRoster is also free and is purpose-built for merch collection, so HR teams ship faster with cleaner data.
| Feature | SoRoster | Google Forms |
|---|---|---|
Price | Free | Free |
Mobile-first recipient form | ||
Structured address fields with country picker Google Forms uses free-text only. | ||
T-shirt size picker with size chart | ||
Product variants (colour, size, style) | ||
Per-recipient unique edit link | ||
Order-ready CSV export Google Forms CSV needs heavy reformatting. | ||
Live completion dashboard with size breakdown | ||
Explicit GDPR consent block | ||
Branded transactional email with bounce handling | ||
One-click email unsubscribe (RFC 8058) | ||
Recipient self-service edit/withdraw |
Verdict
Use Google Forms for general-purpose surveys. Use SoRoster when the output needs to land on a 3PL or merch vendor without manual cleanup.
