Pricing page: workspace.google.com/pricing. Prices last checked Oct 16, 2026. Google's Forms and Workspace pricing pages (fetched 2026-10-17) do not state free personal use or response caps, so the free basis rests on the yardstick's Google Forms rule and a CostBench plan page listing a free tier. Workspace prices ($7/$14/$22 per user, billing basis unclear, promos to Jan 31, 2027) apply to plans that include Forms and do not change the free ref point; no Forms-specific price change was found since 2020.
