We offer you two different solutions for managing response limits in choice options: Form Choice Limiter and Choice Eliminator for Google Forms. Before proceeding, we would recommend that you read about the differences between these solutions.

If you have very high-volume surveys (more than ~1000 users), first-come-first-served sessions (more than ~100 users), or run limited inventory items with images, you should use the Choice Eliminator for Google Forms add-on. In other cases, Form Choice Limiter is easier to use as it is a native add-on for Google Forms.

Below is a detailed comparison of Form Choice Limiter and Choice Eliminator for Google Forms:

- Choice Eliminator for Google Forms uses a custom URL provided by the add-on for accepting responses.
- Form Choice Limiter uses the native Google Forms URL for accepting responses.
- Form Choice Limiter removes choice options after the response choice limit set in the add-on configuration is reached. Respondents will not see choice options that have reached the limit.
- Choice Eliminator for Google Forms disables choice limiter options that have reached the limit and do not allow them to be selected. Respondents will see these choice options as disabled items.
- Form Choice Limiter does not show the limit and accepted response count for each choice option in the response form.
- Choice Eliminator for Google Forms shows the choice limit and accepted response count for each choice option in the response form. This is useful for first-come-first-served and high-volume surveys, allowing respondents to determine which choice limiter options are available easily and making the survey run smoothly with fewer questions for the survey manager.
- For high-volume surveys with thousands of respondents and several simultaneous responses, Form Choice Limiter may experience overloaded choice options. When several users send responses at the same time, it is possible to exceed the limited choice options by +1 response. For example, a choice option with a limit of 10 could receive 11 responses.
- "Choice Eliminator for Google Forms" is very precise and does not allow choice options to be overloaded, regardless of the number of simultaneous respondents. For example, if you set a limit of 10 for a choice option, you will receive exactly 10 responses.
- Form Choice Limiter does not allow the use of images for choice options. If you run some limited inventory items with images, it is not a good idea to use "Form Choice Limiter."
- Choice Eliminator for Google Forms allows the use of images for choice options. If you run some limited inventory items with images, it is the best choice and the only working solution available on the marketplace.
- Choice Eliminator for Google Forms does not allow the native user sign-in feature provided by Google Forms; instead, it implements its own sign-in feature.
- Choice Eliminator for Google Forms does not allow the native feature of sending respondents a copy of their response provided by Google Forms; instead, it implements its own feature for sending respondents a copy of their response.
- Choice Eliminator for Google Forms does not allow the use of the file upload field.
- Choice Eliminator for Google Forms does not allow respondents to edit their responses after submission.


USAGE NOTES
Choice Eliminator for Google Forms™ is the best Google Forms™ app for limiting response counts for multiple choices, checkboxes, and dropdowns. Has great power for choice limit high volume surveys.
       The answer choice gets crossed out on the Google Forms™ when the limit is reached.

In this case, you could use a dropdown or a multiple choice question and so offer different time slots for them. You can then use our addon to eliminate options. 
You can decide between:
1) a generic limit: in this case, each timeslot will be limited by the same number of responses. E.g. if you choose limit 3, the addon will eliminate option by option after each one has reached its limit. In addition, you can choose the option 
2) an individual limit for your appointment slots. In this case the addon will remove choice by choice as soon as the individual limit has been reached.

The "Show Limit/Response Count for choices" unique feature in the Form Choice Eliminator add-on for Google Forms™ enables you to manage capacity and display counts for each option in your forms.

Once an option's limit is reached, the Choice Eliminator crosses it out, preventing further selection. This add-on tracks response count and adjusts availability in real time.

Difference between Choice Eliminator for Google Forms™ and Form Choice Eliminator:
1. If several users select the same choice and submit the form at the same time you can get 2 responses. For example, your choice limit is 5 and users submit the form choice 4 times. After 2 users submit the choice once, the count in the form will calculate 6 responses but you will set a limit of 5. The Choice Eliminator for Google Forms™ will not let 2 users submit the form at the same time. Before submitting with the Choice Eliminator for Google Forms™ app, check if the option has a limit, if yes then submit.
2. Form Choice Limiter, as well as Choice Eliminator FULL, Choice Limit Choice Limiter, Choice Eliminator Lite, Choice Eliminator 3, and Choice Eliminator 2 – all of which are part of Google apps for work – will remove an option from the list once it reaches the "choice limit."
