Looking for a Choice Eliminator alternative?
Choice Eliminator removes options from a Google Form when a limit is reached. It works — until you need to manage the option list itself, recover from a bad update, or keep several forms in sync with one source. That's the gap FormSuite fills: your choices live in a Google Sheet, capped by quotas, protected by a recovery snapshot.
Quick answer
Yes — FormSuite Choice Sync + FormGuard together replace Choice Eliminator's core job: options synced from a Sheet, per-option quotas that remove full choices, and a snapshot to roll back if anything goes wrong.
Side-by-side
| Capability | Choice Eliminator | Choice Sync + FormGuard |
|---|---|---|
| Remove an option when its limit is reached | ✓ | ✓ (FormGuard choice quotas) |
| Option list editable outside the form | — | ✓ (any Google Sheets column) |
| Preflight check before touching the form | — | ✓ (duplicates, counts, routing risk) |
| Recovery snapshot to restore previous choices | — | ✓ (one-click restore) |
| Multiple forms synced from one source list | — | ✓ |
| Scheduled updates (e.g. registration opens Friday 9 AM) | — | ✓ |
| Free to install and test | ✓ | ✓ |
How the two add-ons split the job
Keeps your form's choices identical to a Google Sheets column. Edit the Sheet, run Preflight, update once, check the public preview. No more editing the form by hand.
Watches responses and removes choices that hit their quota (sessions, seats, roles, sizes). Also handles response caps, scheduled close/reopen, and custom closed messages.
Migrating from Choice Eliminator
- Copy your current option list into a Google Sheets column (one option per row, header on top).
- Install Choice Sync, open its sidebar, and select your question.
- Run Preflight — it reports duplicates, counts, and any routing conflicts before touching the form.
- Update once and verify the respondent-facing preview.
- Install FormGuard if you need per-option quotas, response caps, or scheduled close/reopen.
FAQ
For simple option syncing, Choice Sync alone is enough. Add FormGuard when options need caps or the form needs to close automatically.
Only if you update after a Preflight that shows the change. The update report shows the exact before/after, and a snapshot lets you restore.
Both are free during launch. FormGuard's choice quotas and response caps work in the free tier.
