Overview
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.[9]
All plans include unlimited forms and payments.[9] The free Individual plan allows 100 entries a month and one user, with Cognito branding.[9] 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.[9]
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%.[9]
