The same month, three ways
Take 10,000 leads a month. Jotform is $129 a month on its top published plan. Google Forms comes with a Google account; Workspace, if you buy it for your team, is $7/user/mo.
Have Kapture build and host that lead form, with recording on: 10,000 × $0.005/certificate = $50 a month with your own storage bucket, or 10,000 × $0.015 = $150 a month on KX21 storage (our math).
Google does not list a recording of the person filling the form, or of the consent wording they saw. Kapture records each lead and the consent wording, saved as a tamper-proof, time-stamped record.

What Kapture has
- Describe a form in a sentence and Kapture builds and hosts it, with recording on. Or add one script tag on a form on your own site, and mark the form for recording (
data-kapture). - Each submission is recorded as a replay, and Kapture records the exact consent wording, word for word, as the person saw it.
- Each submission is saved as a tamper-proof, time-stamped record. Records are kept in your own storage bucket if you connect one; otherwise KX21 storage keeps them for 90 days.
- A verification id (kap_vid) travels with every lead, so a buyer can check it with an API key you share.
- Leads go to your systems by signed webhook.
A form Kapture builds and hosts, with recording on, is $0.005/certificate (5 tokens) a lead with your own storage bucket, or $0.015 (15 tokens) on KX21 storage. Recording a lead on a form on your own site is $0.001/certificate (1 token) with your own connected storage. There are no seats and no response caps. New accounts start with 2,000 free tokens, with no card, and they never expire. After that, the smallest purchase is $20.
