A custom domain is $20 a month extra. | CBasic is $28 a month billed yearly, $39 monthly, which is about the going rate. But it buys 100 responses a month and 1 user. For 1,000 responses and no Typeform branding you need Plus at $56. That's thin next to rivals that don't count responses at all. |

Paid plans have an unrestricted 7-day trial with no credit card. | BThe free plan has unlimited typeforms, logic and embedding, but it collects just 10 responses a month across all your forms. That's a demo more than a plan. The only trial is 14 days of Growth Flow, and that one wants a credit card. |
