Best Form Builders in 2026

Jotform is one of the largest standalone form builders. It was created in 2006 by Aytekin Tank, who remains chief executive, opened its San Francisco headquarters in 2014 and now lists offices in San Francisco, Sydney, London, Vancouver, Ankara, Izmir and Istanbul. The company reports more than 40 million users on its about page and "over 35 million" on its pricing page.

Jotform's breadth is its main strength: beyond drag-and-drop forms it offers templates, payment collection, approval flows, PDF generation, tables and app builders. Its plans scale by number of active forms, monthly submissions and storage. The free Starter plan allows five forms, 100 submissions a month and 100 MB of uploads. Bronze costs US$39 a month (US$408 a year) for 25 forms and 1,000 submissions; Silver US$49 (US$468 a year) for 50 forms and 2,500 submissions; and Gold US$129 (US$1,188 a year) for 100 forms and 10,000 submissions. HIPAA-compliant forms are available on Gold and Enterprise.

The form-count cap is the main limitation: most competitors allow unlimited forms on every plan, whereas Jotform's free plan stops at five active forms and Bronze at 25. Enterprise, with unlimited forms and submissions, is quote-based.

Typeform popularised the conversational form, in which respondents see one question at a time. The company was founded in 2012, is remote-first and reports more than 250 employees and more than 150,000 business customers. Its pricing page states that it is used by 95% of the Fortune 500 and names Calendly, Slack, Webflow, Zapier and HubSpot among its users.

All paid plans include unlimited typeforms, AI form creation, conditional logic, webhooks and integrations, but responses are metered. Basic costs US$39 a month (US$28 billed yearly) for 100 responses and one seat; Plus costs US$79 (US$56) for 1,000 responses and three seats, and removes Typeform branding; Business costs US$129 (US$91) for 10,000 responses, five seats, drop-off analytics and conversion tracking. A Talent plan for recruiting (US$169 a month) adds video questions, and Growth Flow (US$379 a month) adds response enrichment, Salesforce integration and e-mail and SMS follow-ups. Enterprise adds SSO, HIPAA and a choice of US or EU data centre.

Typeform's response limits are low relative to price compared with Tally or Fillout, and its pricing page lists conflicting figures for some plans and annual savings, so buyers should confirm amounts at checkout.

Google Forms is Google's form and survey tool, part of the Google Workspace productivity suite. It offers multiple question types arranged by drag and drop, templates, conditional logic to show questions based on earlier answers, quizzes with grading, theme customisation, automatic real-time charts and export of raw responses to Google Sheets. Forms can be shared by e-mail, link or website embed, and signed-in respondents have progress saved as a draft for 30 days.

Forms is listed as included in every Google Workspace business plan. The Workspace pricing page reviewed for this list displayed prices in euros: Business Starter at €6.80, Standard at €13.60 and Plus at €21.10 per user per month, with Enterprise by quote. Those prices buy the whole suite (Gmail, Drive, Docs, Meet and others), so organisations already on Workspace incur no extra cost for Forms.

Google states that Forms data is encrypted in transit and at rest and that the product undergoes independent security, privacy and compliance verification. Its limitations are those of a general-purpose tool: no native payment collection, limited branding control, no partial-submission capture and integrations that rely mainly on Sheets and Apps Script rather than a large native connector library.

Tally is a document-style form builder made by Tally BV, a Belgian company; forms are built and hosted in the EU and data is stored in Europe. Users type questions as in a text editor rather than dragging fields onto a canvas. The company says it powers more than 2.5 million teams.

Tally's free plan is the most generous in this list: unlimited forms and submissions under a fair-use policy, with payments, e-signatures, file uploads, conditional logic, calculations, password protection, answer piping, more than 45 languages and integrations with Google Sheets, Notion, Airtable, Zapier, Make and webhooks. Pro, at US$24 a month, removes Tally branding and adds custom domains, unlimited team members, partial submissions, custom CSS, custom e-mail domains, workspaces, larger uploads, drop-off analytics and Google Analytics and Meta Pixel tracking. Business, at US$74 a month, adds automatic deletion of submissions after a set period, respondent e-mail verification and 90-day version history. Yearly billing gives two months free.

Tally lacks some enterprise features found in Jotform or Formstack, such as HIPAA compliance or approval workflows, and the free plan's 10 MB per-file upload limit can matter for document collection.

Fillout is a form builder known for its integrations with Airtable, Notion and other databases. It is a product of Zite, with the site copyright held by Restly, Inc., and it states SOC 2 Type 2 compliance with TLS 1.2 and AES encryption and daily encrypted backups.

The free plan includes 1,000 responses a month with unlimited seats and forms, multi-page forms, payments, scheduling, PDF generation, conditional logic, calculations, unlimited file uploads up to 20 MB each and Fillout Workflows, but shows Fillout branding. Paid plans are quoted per month on annual billing: Starter at US$15 (2,000 responses), Pro at US$40 (5,000 responses, all branding removed, custom CSS and white-label e-mails) and Business at US$75 (unlimited responses, analytics, drop-off rates, custom domain, partial submissions and priority support). Enterprise adds SSO, audit logs and custom SLAs.

A practical detail is that forms keep collecting responses when a plan's limit is exceeded, with the counter resetting on the first of each month. Fillout offers discounts to non-profits, students, start-ups and educational institutions. The page reviewed did not state monthly-billing prices directly, and features such as CAPTCHA and login forms require a paid plan.

Cognito Forms is a form builder oriented towards data collection and workflow, with strong calculation features, a client portal and approval routing. It markets compliance with HIPAA, GDPR and CCPA requirements and has launched Cognito Pay for card payments inside forms.

All plans include unlimited forms and payments. The free Individual plan allows 100 entries a month and one user, with Cognito branding. Pro costs US$24 a month (US$19 billed annually) for 2,000 entries, e-signatures and save-and-resume; Team costs US$62 (US$49) for 10,000 entries, five users, a client portal, workflow and approvals and data lookups; Business costs US$129 (US$99) for 25,000 entries, ten users, folder permissions, a one-year audit log and 50,000 API requests a month; and Enterprise costs US$199 (US$149) for unlimited entries, 20 users, SSO and HIPAA compliance.

Cognito Forms is one of the few builders with a published, self-serve HIPAA tier rather than a quote-only enterprise contract. The pricing page reviewed contained two tables with different prices for Team and Business, so buyers should confirm at checkout; prepaying saves up to 20%.

Zoho Forms is the form builder of Zoho Corporation and integrates natively with Zoho CRM and other Zoho applications. Its plans are distinguished mainly by users, submissions and storage.

The free plan, described by Zoho as free forever, allows one user, three forms and 500 submissions a month, with unlimited form views, ten payment submissions, themes, webhooks, integrations and UTM tracking. Paid plans have unlimited forms: Basic covers one user and 10,000 submissions a month; Standard ten users and 25,000 submissions and adds approval workflows; Professional 25 users and 75,000 submissions; and Premium 100 users and 150,000 submissions, adding HIPAA compliance, form encryption, record audit, SMTP and scheduled reports. Add-ons include extra submissions, storage, Flow automation tasks and AI credits.

The submission allowances are high compared with Jotform or Typeform at similar tiers, which makes Zoho Forms suitable for high-volume collection. The pricing page reviewed in November 2026 did not display dollar amounts, so prices are not given here. HIPAA is reserved for the top Premium plan.

Formstack is a no-code workflow suite built around forms, now a product of Intellistack, LLC. It says it serves more than 32,000 organisations. Beyond forms it sells document generation and e-signatures, and a Salesforce-native edition for organisations that want forms writing directly into Salesforce.

The Forms plan costs US$99 a month, or US$83 a month paid annually, for one builder user, 25 forms, 1,000 submissions per form and 2 GB of storage, with more than 300 integrations. The Suite plan, at US$299 a month or US$250 annually, adds Documents and Sign: three users, 100 forms, 5,000 submissions per form, 10 GB, 250 document deliveries a month, unlimited e-signatures and approval routing. Salesforce Solutions and Enterprise (unlimited users and submissions, SSO, API and a dedicated customer success manager) are quoted individually. HIPAA compliance is an add-on on Forms and Suite and included on the custom plans. A 14-day trial requires no card.

Formstack's entry price is the highest of the general builders in this list, and the single included builder user limits collaborative teams. Its value lies in combining forms, documents and signatures for processes such as onboarding and applications.

Paperform is a form builder that treats a form as an editable page, combining text, images and questions. Its plans bundle Papersign e-signatures and automation credits for built-in workflows.

Pricing is in US dollars excluding sales tax. The free plan allows 30 submissions a month, unlimited forms, users and workflows, 5,000 automation credits and three signed documents a month. Pro costs US$59 a month, or US$49 a month billed annually, with unlimited submissions under fair use, 20,000 automation credits, 25 signed documents a month, custom HTML and CSS, webhooks, API and custom PDFs; Business costs US$149 a month (US$124 annually) and adds ten workspaces, a custom domain, admin and user roles, SAML SSO, enforced two-factor authentication and invoicing. Enterprise adds data residency in the EU or Australia, audit trails and a dedicated customer success manager. Pro and Business offer seven-day trials without a card.

The free plan's 30-submission limit is the lowest among free tiers in this list, and custom domains on Pro cost an extra US$20 a month.

Wufoo is one of the oldest hosted form builders and is owned by SurveyMonkey; its pricing page brands the product "Wufoo by SurveyMonkey". It covers standard business forms, registrations and payments with a theme designer, template gallery, reports and a REST API on all plans.

Plans are priced in dollars and save 25% on annual billing. The free plan allows five forms, 100 entries a month and one user. Starter costs US$16.25 a month (US$195 a year) for ten forms and 1,000 entries; Professional US$33.25 (US$399 a year) for unlimited forms, 5,000 entries and five users, adding payments, Google Analytics tracking, field encryption and password protection; Advanced US$83.25 (US$999 a year) for 25,000 entries and 20 users; and Ultimate US$210.25 (US$2,523 a year) for 200,000 entries and 60 users. On paid plans entries above the monthly limit cost US$0.05 each, while free forms are deactivated when the limit is reached.

Wufoo's feature set has changed little compared with newer builders: there is no AI form generation, partial-submission capture or built-in e-signature, and payments start only at Professional.

WPForms is a form-building plugin for WordPress, published by WPForms, LLC and co-founded by Syed Balkhi. The company reports more than five million professionals using it. Unlike hosted builders, it stores entries in the user's own WordPress database, which suits site owners who prefer to keep data on their own infrastructure.

A free version, WPForms Lite, is available, and paid licences are annual and priced by number of sites. Basic costs US$49.50 for the first year and US$99 on renewal for one site; Plus US$99.50 then US$199 for three sites, adding marketing integrations, Smart Workflows and Notion; Pro US$199.50 then US$399 for five sites, adding payments through Stripe, Square and PayPal, subscriptions, calculations, more than 2,100 templates, surveys, save-and-resume and signatures; and Elite US$299.50 then US$599 for unlimited sites, adding Salesforce, HubSpot and other CRM integrations, multisite and client management. Renewals are at full price, and a 14-day money-back guarantee applies.

Users of the free version or with an inactive licence pay a 3% platform fee on payments; active Pro licence holders pay none. The first-year discount means the long-term cost is double the advertised entry price.

Gravity Forms is a premium form plugin for WordPress developed by Rocketgenius Inc., whose copyright notice on the site runs from 2008. It is widely used by agencies and developers because of its extensibility through add-ons and hooks.

Gravity Forms has no free version on its pricing page; licences are annual and priced by site count and add-on access. Basic costs US$59 a year for one site with basic add-ons, mostly e-mail marketing services such as Mailchimp, ActiveCampaign, Brevo and HubSpot, plus reCAPTCHA and Cloudflare Turnstile. Pro costs US$159 a year for three sites and adds Pro add-ons including Stripe, PayPal Checkout, Square, Mollie, Zapier, Slack, Trello, Twilio and Zoho CRM. Elite costs US$259 a year for unlimited sites and includes every add-on, among them Salesforce, conversational forms, surveys, polls, quizzes, signatures, user registration, partial entries, coupons and webhooks, along with priority support and WordPress Multisite.

Compared with WPForms, Gravity Forms has lower list prices at every tier, but features such as surveys, partial entries and signatures are reserved for Elite, and the absence of a free version makes evaluation harder.
