Which one is for you

Pick Formgrid if

  • Fits if you want a builder with no form or response limit
  • Works for people who only need basic forms with logic

Look elsewhere if

  • Tight if you want clean forms, since the badge, custom domain and custom emails need Plus
  • Watch out: workspaces and roles need Business at $59
  • 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

Pick Youform if

  • Fits if you want unlimited forms and responses without paying, as one user
  • Works for anyone moving off Typeform or Google Forms, as it imports a public form from either

Look elsewhere if

  • Not for you if you take payments and won't pay, since Stripe needs Pro at $20 a month billed yearly ($29 monthly)
  • Tight if you're a team: free covers one user, Pro 3 and Business 5, with extra seats at $10 a month each
  • Watch out: removing the branding, custom domains and redirects after submission need Pro, and free uploads stop at 10 MB
  • Skip it if you want a phone app or build on an API, as it's web only and no API is on record
  • Watch out: unlimited responses sit under a fair use policy around 50,000 a month, and SMS verification needs your own Twilio account

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.
