We checked every price on each company’s own website. One tool on this list is ours: Kapture. We put it last, and we tell you where it falls short.

“Starts at” is the lowest public monthly price, paid monthly. Paying yearly is often cheaper.

How we checked these prices

We read each price on the company’s own pricing page. The table links to that page and shows the day we read it. Where a page shows the yearly price first, we switched it to monthly.

Our site checks every price again at least every 120 days. If a price gets too old, the site will not go live until someone checks it. That rule is in our code, not just a promise.

Some companies do not post prices. When that happens, we say so. We do not guess.

Before you switch: what Formstack really costs

Formstack Forms is $99/mo paid monthly, less paid yearly, with 1,000 submissions per form and one builder. Its Suite plan costs more and adds builders.

There is no free plan, only a trial. Limits are counted per form, not per month.

If you run many small forms, per-form limits may be generous. If you run one busy form, check the cap.

1. Tally: the free plan most teams never outgrow

Tally’s free plan has unlimited forms and submissions. Pro is $29/mo, less paid yearly.

For simple forms, it is the best value on this list.

2. Jotform: a big free plan, then one user per plan

The free plan allows 5 forms and 100 submissions a month. Bronze is $39/mo for 1,000 submissions, Silver $49/mo for 2,500 and Gold $129/mo for 10,000.

Every paid plan is for one user; more users come only with Enterprise.

3. Typeform: beautiful forms, with response caps

Basic is $39/mo for 100 responses a month and 1 seat. Plus is $79/mo for 1,000 and 3 seats; Business is $129/mo for 10,000. Paying yearly costs less.

Typeform is known for one-question-at-a-time forms that people enjoy filling in.

4. Fillout: generous limits for the price

The free plan allows 1,000 responses a month. Starter is $19/mo for 2,000, with unlimited seats.

5. Paperform: forms that look like pages

The free plan allows 30 submissions a month. Pro is $59/mo, with unlimited submissions under fair use.

6. Google Forms: free, and fine for internal use

Google Forms is free with a Google account. For internal surveys and simple sign-ups, it is often enough.

7. Kapture: a form that proves every lead, priced per completed form

Kapture is built for forms that collect leads, not surveys:

  • Describe a form in a sentence and Kapture builds and hosts it, or add one script tag to the form you already have.
  • Every submission is recorded as a replay, with a tamper-proof consent record, in your own storage.
  • A verification id travels with every lead, so a buyer can check it.
  • Leads go to your systems by signed webhook.

A completed form Kapture hosts is $0.005/certificate, and recording a form you already run is $0.001/certificate a lead. There are no seats and no response caps. New accounts start with 2,000 free tokens; the smallest purchase after that is $20.

Where it falls short: for surveys and simple contact forms, Tally’s free plan costs nothing, and Typeform’s forms are more polished. Kapture is for when you need proof of every lead.
