Which one is for you
Pick Formstack if
- Fits if you want forms, generated documents and e-signatures from one vendor
- Works for Salesforce teams who want forms inside their org, or forms that pass through several reviewers
Look elsewhere if
- Pricey if you only need forms: $83 a month billed yearly ($99 monthly) for 1 builder, 25 forms and 1,000 submissions per form
- Not for you if you want a free plan, since there's only a 14-day trial
- Skip it if you need e-signatures or document generation on a budget, as those come with Suite at $250 a month
- Watch out: HIPAA compliance is an add-on, and API access, SSO and custom SLAs are on Enterprise with no public price
- Not for you if you want a phone or desktop app, as Formstack runs on the web only
Pick Reform if
- Fits if you build lead forms with several steps
- Works for marketers who want partial responses captured
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if you want free, as free forms can't be published or shared
- Watch out: the 14-day Pro trial needs a card and bills unless you cancel
- Watch out: team access, file upload, webhooks and CRM integrations need Pro at $35
- Watch out: Salesforce is listed as coming soon

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.
