Overview
Form Limiter Live - a response limit for Google Forms™ that holds when everyone submits at the same moment, with a cap on every answer choice as well.

🔢 A response cap that cannot be overshot
Set the maximum number of responses for the whole form. Every submission claims its place in a single all-or-nothing step, so two people pressing submit at the same instant cannot both take the last one: the second is told the form is full. The live form then stops accepting entries and says so.

✂️ A cap on every answer choice, live
Put a limit on individual choices in multiple choice, checkbox or dropdown questions. Each capped choice shows how many places remain, for example "3 left" or "Full". The count updates on every open page as other people submit, with no refresh, and the moment a choice fills it closes for everyone at the same time.

⚡ Limits that hold in a rush
The form total and the choice caps are checked at the moment of submission rather than afterwards. A cap can never be exceeded, however many people arrive at once.

🔗 One live link to share
Your form is published at a link you can copy, open or hand out as a QR code. You keep building and editing in Google Forms™ exactly as before; open the sidebar or press Sync and your questions and choices are copied across.

📅 Open and close on a schedule
Set when the live form opens and when it closes, in the same settings dialog as the response cap. Outside that window respondents see a closed message instead of the questions.

🎫 Registration, sign-ups and limited seats
First-come registration, workshop seats, appointment slots, class enrolment, shift rotas, equipment and stock. Anything where the last place matters and everyone arrives at the same hour. No double booking, because the count is checked when the response is submitted.

♻️ Reset for a new intake
Set every count back to zero so a form that filled up last term can be reused this one. Your limits are kept exactly as they are, and deleting the collected responses is a separate, off-by-default tick.

📄 Multi-page forms, sections and routing
Sections become pages, "go to section based on answer" routing on choices is respected, and a straight-through form shows respondents how far along they are.

📊 Responses and export
View and export everything collected on the live form as CSV, from your dashboard. Your responses stay available permanently, including after a plan ends.

📝 Quizzes, graded on the live form
Quiz forms work on the live link too, and every submission is graded automatically. Scores appear in your dashboard, CSV and connected Sheet, not in the Google Forms™ Responses tab. On the Quiz tab you choose what respondents see after submitting.

🔒 Your original form, handled for you
Answers sent through the original Google Forms™ link are not capped, so the add-on offers once to close the original and point everyone at the live link. You can decline, and resetting the add-on reopens a form we closed.

⚙️ Nothing new to learn
Set the caps in the Google Forms™ sidebar you already use. One number for the form, one number per choice, blank for unlimited.

WHEN YOU DO NOT NEED THIS
Most forms do not. If one response too many on a quiet day is an inconvenience rather than a problem, our Form Limiter add-on caps responses and choices on the Google Form itself, respondents stay on the link they know, and nothing about your form moves. Form Limiter Live is for the case that one cannot solve: many people submitting in the same few seconds for the last places.

GOOD TO KNOW
- Respondents answer at the live link, not the Google Forms™ link.
- The questions, choices and limits of the hosted copy are stored on Skyfield's servers so the live link can enforce them. What is stored, and for how long, is set out in the privacy policy.
- Running two form-closing add-ons on the same form is not supported. If Form Limiter or Form Scheduler already opens or closes this form, leave the original open.

Free trial included. No credit card required to start.
