How we grade them
| 3.6GPAforms.appExcellent | 3.4GPAJotformVery good | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | ABasic is $19 a month paid yearly for 25 forms, 10 GB of storage and no branding, with unlimited responses and team members. That's the cheap end of forms. Pay month to month and it jumps to $29, and unlimited forms need Pro. | C$34 a month on yearly billing, and that's still 25 forms and one user. Fair if it replaces a signing tool too. Steep if you only need forms. |
| Free plan and trial | BUnlimited responses, views and team members, with logic, payments and e-signatures all in. Generous, that. But it stops at 5 forms and 10 MB of file storage, and the forms.app branding stays on. | BNearly every feature is in it, and it never expires. But 5 forms and 100 responses a month is tight, and Jotform's logo sits on your forms. |
| Features | AForms, surveys, polls, auto-scored quizzes and order forms with a product basket, from more than 5,000 templates. Conditional logic is unlimited on every plan, and an AI form creator drafts a form from a prompt. Drop-off analysis waits for Pro. | AForms, payments, e-signatures, approvals, tables, reports, an app builder and AI agents. Plus more than 20,000 templates. Hard to think of a form builder that does more. |
| Ease of use | BNo App Store rating on record, so a B is as high as we go. You can start from a template or let the AI draft the form, so there's no blank page. | A4.9 from about 44,600 App Store ratings. Pick a template, drag the fields around, send the link. One reviewer's car club, run by volunteers with little tech experience, got on fine. |
| Platforms and integrations | AWeb, iPhone and Android, and the phone apps create and edit forms and ping you when responses arrive. Google Sheets, Slack, HubSpot, Zapier and webhooks are on every plan, and there's an API and an MCP server. | AWeb, iPhone and Android, and the phone app works with no signal. It hooks into PayPal, Stripe, Google Sheets, Slack and Zapier, and even the free plan gets an API key. |
| Best for | building and running forms from your phone | forms that take payments and signatures |
