How we grade them
| 3.0GPAJotformVery good | 2.2GPAJotform SignFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C$34 a month on yearly billing lands between this category's $24 middle and its dearer quarter at $39, and that's 25 forms for one person. Fair if it replaces a signing tool too. Steep if you only need forms, and a second builder means Enterprise. | DBronze is $34 a month billed yearly ($39 monthly) for 100 signed documents, but each paid plan is one user. Three people sending means three plans, $102 a month and $34 a head, in this category's dearest tenth, or Enterprise by quote. You do get forms thrown in. |
| Free plan and trial | CNearly every feature is in the free plan, and it never expires, but the caps are ones you'll hit: 5 forms, 100 responses a month, 500 responses kept, and Jotform's logo on every form. | CThe free Starter plan includes 10 signed documents a month, 5 forms and 100 submissions, with Jotform branding on documents. So half your 20. There's no trial of the paid plans, just a 30-day money-back guarantee. |
| Features | AForms, payments, e-signatures, approvals, tables, reports, an app builder and AI agents, from more than 20,000 templates. Two things the rest of this category hasn't got: a phone app that collects answers with no signal, and agents that run a form over chat, phone or WhatsApp. | CTurn a PDF into a signable document and share it by link, email or website embed, with approvals, reminders, delegation, 1,000+ templates and in-person signing in the app. The gap is teams: there's no shared account below Enterprise. |
| Ease of use | A4.9 from about 44,600 App Store ratings, the best score in this category by a mile. 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. | B4.9 from about 390 App Store ratings. That's excellent, but it's a small crowd, short of the 1,000 we need for an A. |
| Platforms and integrations | BWeb plus iPhone and Android, with the phone app working offline, and it hooks into PayPal, Stripe, Google Sheets, Slack and Zapier, with an API key even on free. No desktop app, which is the one thing short of top marks. | BWeb, iPhone and Android, with Salesforce, HubSpot, Zapier, Stripe, Google Calendar and Canva, plus apps inside ChatGPT and Claude. No desktop app, so it's a B. |
| Best for | forms that take payments and signatures | signatures on top of the forms you build in Jotform |
