How we grade them
| 3.0GPAJotformVery good | 2.2GPAOutgrowFair | |
|---|---|---|
| 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. | CGraded against its own alternatives. Freelancer is $14 a month billed yearly ($22 monthly), half of involve.me's $29 or Typeform's $28, but it's 5 pieces, 250 leads and 1 user. Chatbots and landing pages need Essentials at $95, and losing the branding means Business at $600. |
| 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 Basic plan builds forms and surveys only, 4 of them, with 100 leads a month and the branding on. Quizzes and calculators, the reason you'd come, need paying for. There's also a 7-day Business trial with no card needed. |
| 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. | CIt builds more kinds of interactive content than most: calculators with nested formulas, scored quizzes, recommendations, polls, giveaways and chatbots. But the listing shows the gaps: logic jumps only on higher plans, and one integration on standard plans. |
| 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. | CNo store rating on record. There are over 1,000 templates to start from, but a calculator or a scored quiz still means working out the formulas, outcomes and result pages yourself. |
| 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 only, embedded on any page or hosted on an Outgrow subdomain, with HubSpot, Salesforce, Mailchimp, ActiveCampaign, Marketo and Zapier. Standard plans include just one integration, though, and there are no apps. |
| Best for | forms that take payments and signatures | quizzes and calculators that collect leads |

Worth knowing
Jotform
- Bronze, Silver and Gold are single-user plans; Enterprise is the only multiuser plan.
- The free Starter plan allows 5 forms and 100 submissions a month, and its forms show Jotform branding.
- HIPAA compliance features are limited to the Gold and Enterprise plans.
- Paid plans have no trial period, only a 30-day money-back guarantee; once submission storage is full, the oldest responses are deleted.
Outgrow
- The free Basic plan builds only forms and surveys; quizzes, calculators and other content types need a paid plan.
- Each plan caps leads a month, from 250 on Freelancer to 50,000 on Business; past that, upgrade or ask Outgrow for a lead add-on.
- Outgrow branding stays on every plan below Business unless a small business incentive applies, and standard plans include one integration.
- Plans are paid upfront for the month or year, and a cancellation takes effect at the end of the committed term.
