Winner: Typeform!

Google Forms has some great features available for a free program, but the advanced ones really need some scripting experience to set up. Typeform’s basic free version already contains logic and piping, and the Pro version is the best in the category for customizable templates and making your survey fit your company branding. You can also accept payment directly through your forms.
