|---|---|---|
| Value for money | D$99 per user a month is well past the $74 where this category's dearest tenth begins, and four times the $24 middle, for 1 user and 25,000 responses a year. No monthly option is published, and the cheaper Team rate needs at least 5 users. | CProfessional is $25 a month billed annually ($35 monthly) for 1 user, between the cheaper quarter ($12.50) and the dearer quarter ($34) of form tools. |

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.
