Formstack vs Typeform

Formstack

• Organizations that want forms, generated documents and eSignatures from one vendor
• Salesforce teams that want forms managed inside their org
• Approval processes that route each submission through several reviewers

Typeform

• Branded lead capture forms and quizzes with scoring
• Marketing teams that want lead enrichment and follow-ups next to their forms
• Low-volume surveys that fit within a monthly response cap

Formstack

• There is no free plan; the entry price is $83 per month paid annually after a 14-day trial.
• The Forms plan includes one builder user, 25 forms and 1,000 submissions per form.
• Document generation and eSignatures come with the Suite plan, not the Forms plan.
• HIPAA compliance is listed as an add-on, and SSO and custom SLAs under Enterprise.

Typeform

• The Free plan collects only 10 responses per month across all forms.
• Basic includes 100 responses per month and a single user; 1,000 responses and 3 users start at Plus.
• Removing Typeform branding needs Plus or higher, and custom domains and custom fonts are Enterprise only.
• Every plan has a monthly response cap; Business includes 10,000 and can reach 50,000 with add-ons.
