Paid plans are priced per month on yearly billing and cover a set number of seats, forms and agreements.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about MakeForms, taken from its own pages and our grades.
No store rating on record, and it is a web app where the work is building each form and setting up bundles, so it sits at C.

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 MakeForms you would be making a builder that other people can use without writing code. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
It costs $780 a year.
What you could make
- Forms: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- A builder that other people can use without writing code.
- Newsletters sent to thousands of people that still reach the inbox.
- Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change.
- Booking pages that read and write other people's calendars and send the emails.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. MakeForms’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.
