Openy vs Google Forms for open homes
Plenty of agents start with a free form and a QR code. It is a big step up from paper. Here is what a general form tool leaves you to do yourself.
| Openy | Google Forms | |
|---|---|---|
| Collect sign-ins by QR code | Built in, one per listing | With a form per listing |
| Built for real estate | Buyer type, sell first, consent | You design every question |
| Returning buyers | Recognised per listing | Separate responses |
| Personal feedback links | One for every buyer | Not built in |
| Buyers ranked by interest | Call these buyers first | A spreadsheet to sort |
| Contract requests | Flagged until sent | Not built in |
| Live vendor report | Automatic, names kept private | Not built in |
| CRM connections | Zapier, Make, webhooks, CSV | Via Google Sheets and add-ons |
| iPad kiosk mode | Resets for each group | Possible with extra setup |
| Cost | From $49 a month, free 14-day trial | Free with a Google account |
Where a free form works well
Google Forms is free, quick to set up and reliable. If all you need is a list of names from an open home, it does the job, and it is far better than a paper sheet.
Where it runs out
The real work in a campaign happens after the sign-in. A general form tool does not know which buyers came back, does not send each buyer a personal feedback link, does not rank buyers by interest, and cannot build a report for your vendor. That work falls back on you and a spreadsheet.
What Openy adds
- Every listing gets its own QR sign-in, ready to print.
- Each buyer gets a 30 second feedback form, sent by text in one tap.
- Your dashboard shows who to call first, contract requests and future sellers.
- Your vendor gets a live report that updates after every open home.
