Which one is for you
Pick Formsite if
- Fits if you run event sign-ups or order forms with a few hundred results
- Works for teams who want a trial without handing over a card
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if you stay free, because 10 results per form runs out fast
- Watch out: Personal caps results at 500 per form, Professional at 1,000 and Business at 2,500
- Pricey if you add helpers, as sub-users are $10 a month each and storage $10 per GB
- Watch out: payments, the API and third-party integrations are Professional and up, at $34 a month
Pick Wufoo if
- Fits if you need a simple registration, contact or order form on your website
- Works for organizations that want built-in reports on their form entries
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if you stay free: 5 forms, 100 entries a month, 10 fields a form, no file storage, and forms switch off past the limit
- Skip it if you take payments on a budget, since that needs Professional at $33.25 a month billed annually
- Not for you if you work as a team on Starter, which covers a single user; 5 users start on Professional
- Watch out: paid accounts pay $0.05 for each entry over the monthly limit
- Too light for forms that need signatures, and field encryption, password protection and Google Analytics wait for Professional
How we grade them

|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CPersonal is $21 a month billed yearly, in the ordinary band. Professional, where payments and the API start, is $34. | B$16.25 a month billed annually puts it right at the edge of this category's cheapest quarter, with file uploads, form rules and integrations in. It buys 10 forms, 1,000 entries and 1 user, payments need Professional at $33.25, and extra entries are $0.05 each. |
| Free plan and trial | C14-day trial of Professional with no card, then a free level of 5 forms, 10 results per form and 50 MB of files. | CFree with no time limit, but the caps bite straight away: 5 forms, 100 entries a month, 10 fields per form, 1 user, and no file storage at all. Pass the entry limit and your forms are switched off. |
| Features | CForms, payments, workflows and PDF results cover the basics, but results are capped per form at 500, 1,000 or 2,500 on paid plans. | CThe basics, and the pricing table shows where they stop: drag-and-drop from 400-plus templates, rules for branching, a theme designer and reports. Payments, field encryption and password protection all wait for Professional, and there's nothing here for signatures. |
| Ease of use | CNo store rating on record. It is a web app where you build each form yourself. | CNo store rating on record, and a form still has to be built, themed and have its rules set. Drag and drop with no code and 400-plus templates keep that short. |
| Platforms and integrations | BWeb only, with Salesforce, Google Sheets, Slack, Mailchimp, Zapier, DocuSign, Stripe and PayPal. | BWeb with a REST API on every plan, dozens of native integrations including Salesforce, Dropbox and Mailchimp, and over 1,000 more through Zapier. No apps of its own. |

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.
