Which one is for you
Pick Fillout if
- Fits if your whole team needs to edit forms and you don't want to pay per seat

Look elsewhere if
- Tight if you stay free: 1,000 responses a month, and every form shows a Fillout badge
- Pricey if you want no branding ($40 Pro) or your own domain, analytics and partial submissions ($75 Business)
- Watch out: uploaded files stop at 20 MB each below Business, and paying monthly lifts Starter from $180 to $228 a year
- Not for you if you need SSO or audit logs (Enterprise) or granular permissions, which come with the $300-a-month Team bundle
- Skip it if you want a phone or desktop app, as Fillout runs on the web only
Pick Formgrid if

- Watch out: a fair-use policy may lead to a custom plan under heavy use
- Skip it if you want fixed prices, as paid prices load from the billing service

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
