Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.8
GPA, above 22 of the 30 other form and survey tools we grade
Fillout is a builder for forms, surveys and quizzes that also handles payments, scheduling, PDF generation and follow-up workflows. Every plan, including the free one, allows unlimited forms and unlimited seats, and paid tiers are flat fees that differ by monthly responses, branding controls and analytics. A Team bundle adds Fillout's Zite apps and databases to the form product.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about Fillout, taken from its own pages and our grades.
No store rating on record, and there's a form to build before anything happens: fields, logic, themes, and workflow steps if you want them.

The report card
Best for free forms your whole team can share
Fillout is a web form builder with unlimited forms and seats on every plan, and its free plan takes 1,000 responses a month with payments and scheduling included. Paid plans are flat fees from $15 a month billed yearly. Forms carry a Fillout badge until Pro at $40, your own domain waits for Business at $75, and there are no phone or desktop apps.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | B | Starter is $15 a month billed yearly ($228 paid monthly), just inside the cheapest quarter of this category, and every plan has unlimited seats rather than a per-person price. Branding only comes off on Pro at $40, and your own domain needs Business at $75. |
| Free plan and trial | B | Free for unlimited forms and seats and 1,000 responses a month, with payments, scheduling, PDFs, logic and workflows. Every form shows a Fillout badge, uploads stop at 20 MB, and the full set of question types needs Starter. |
| Features | B | Covers the forms job: 50-plus field types, logic, calculations and scoring, answer piping, payments, scheduling, signatures, PDF generation and follow-up workflows. Login forms, which let people edit what they sent, start on Starter. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record, and there's a form to build before anything happens: fields, logic, themes, and workflow steps if you want them. The prebuilt themes save you designing one. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web with more than 50 native integrations, Airtable, Google Sheets, Notion, HubSpot and Mailchimp among them, plus webhooks and a REST API. No phone or desktop apps at all. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who Fillout is for
- Fits if your whole team needs to edit forms and you don't want to pay per seat
- Works for intake forms that send answers to Airtable, Notion or Google Sheets
Who it is not for
- Tight if you stay free: 1,000 responses a month, and every form shows a Fillout badge
- Pricey if you want no branding ($40 Pro) or your own domain, analytics and partial submissions ($75 Business)
- Watch out: uploaded files stop at 20 MB each below Business, and paying monthly lifts Starter from $180 to $228 a year
- Not for you if you need SSO or audit logs (Enterprise) or granular permissions, which come with the $300-a-month Team bundle
- Skip it if you want a phone or desktop app, as Fillout runs on the web only
Good to know
Good for
- Teams that want every colleague in the form tool without per-seat fees
- Forms that write into Airtable, Notion or Google Sheets
- Intake forms that also take a payment or book a meeting
Worth knowing
- The free plan stops at 1,000 responses a month and shows a Fillout badge on forms.
- Removing all branding needs Pro; custom domains, form analytics and partial submissions need Business.
- Uploaded files are limited to 20 MB each below the Business plan.
- SSO and audit logs are Enterprise features, and granular permissions come with the Team bundle at $300 per month.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
To replace Fillout you would be making connections to other products, each kept working as those products change. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 2.8 is higher than 22 of the 30 other form and survey tools we grade. It costs $180 a year.
What you could make
- Forms, surveys and templates: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change.
- Several people working in it at the same moment.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. Fillout’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
