Formlets vs Jotform (2026): which should you pick?

Pick Formlets if

• Fits if you need one form with unlimited responses
• Works for people who want calculations and e-signatures

Look elsewhere if

• Tight if you want more than 1 published form, as that needs a paid plan
• Watch out: payments, conditional fields and a custom domain need a paid plan
• Watch out: prices exclude VAT, with 21% added for EU customers without a VAT number
• Watch out: the pricing page lists an 'OLD Small Business' tier and plans that repeat each other

Pick Jotform if

• Fits if you want forms, payments and signatures in one account, not three
• Works for field teams collecting answers with no signal, like on a building site

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if all you need is a quick survey, because Google Forms is free
• Tight if you want to stay on free, with 5 forms, 100 responses a month, 500 kept and Jotform's logo on each form
• Pricey if two of you build forms, since only Enterprise takes more than one user and its price isn't published
• Not for you if you need HIPAA features on a budget, as they start on Gold at $99
• Watch out: there's no trial, full storage deletes your oldest responses, and sale prices renew at full price

Formlets

• The free plan publishes one form only and keeps Formlets branding on it.
• Conditional fields, payments and a custom domain need a paid plan; a form address on your own domain starts at Professional.
• Prices are shown excluding VAT, and 21% VAT applies to EU customers without a VAT number and to Belgian customers.
• The page also lists an 'OLD Small Business' tier at $15 and a 'Full service' tier at $118.33 a month, and Plus and Business repeat the features of the tier below.

Jotform

• Bronze, Silver and Gold are single-user plans; Enterprise is the only multiuser plan.
• The free Starter plan allows 5 forms and 100 submissions a month, and its forms show Jotform branding.
• HIPAA compliance features are limited to the Gold and Enterprise plans.
• Paid plans have no trial period, only a 30-day money-back guarantee; once submission storage is full, the oldest responses are deleted.
