Short answer

How FormDesigner differs from Google Forms

The same questions and answer options, plus branches, payment, a design for your site, and embedding the form on a page. A Google Forms form can be moved over with import. Google Sheets stay in Google. Here the submissions sit in the form statistics and go out to modules.
