forms.app vs Jotform

forms.app is an online form, survey and quiz builder launched in 2018 with a mobile-first focus. It reports 4M+ users in 170+ countries; its company, Forms App OÜ, is based in Tallinn, Estonia, and the product is made and hosted in the EU. The core job is to let anyone build good-looking forms quickly, collect responses and payments, and pass the data on to other tools.

Forms can be generated with AI or started from 5,000+ templates, using 30+ field types including signature and payment fields. Conditional logic shows or hides questions and routes people to different endings, and auto-scoring turns forms into quizzes and tests. Responses can be analysed with AI insights and sent to 500+ integrations such as Zapier, Google Drive, Slack, Notion and HubSpot. The free plan allows 5 forms with unlimited responses and team members; Basic raises this to 25 forms and removes branding, Pro unlocks unlimited forms, custom CSS and multilingual forms, and Premium adds 1 TB storage, custom domains and partial responses.

forms.app suits small businesses, educators and freelancers who want unlimited responses on a free or low-cost plan. Jotform has more enterprise features such as HIPAA and approvals, Typeform has stronger conversational design, and Tally offers a more generous free tier for simple forms.

Buying tip: from Turkey and the EU the pricing page shows euros, so US visitors may see different USD prices. Yearly plans are much cheaper than monthly, and paid plans carry a 90-day refund guarantee.

Jotform is one of the largest online form builders, founded in 2006 by Turkish entrepreneur Aytekin Tank. The company is headquartered in San Francisco with a large team in Ankara, and it grew without outside investors to tens of millions of users worldwide. Its core job is collecting data through forms, but the product has expanded into a broader no-code platform.

The builder offers more than 10,000 templates, classic or card-style forms, conditional logic, calculations, file uploads and payments through more than 40 gateways including Stripe, PayPal and Square. Jotform Sign handles e-signatures, approval workflows route submissions to reviewers, Tables turns responses into a spreadsheet-database, Apps packages forms into installable apps, PDF Editor generates documents from submissions, and AI Agents can answer questions and collect data conversationally. HIPAA compliance, GDPR tools and enterprise options make it common in healthcare, education and government. Pricing is based on the number of forms, monthly submissions and storage; the free Starter plan allows 5 forms and 100 submissions a month.

Jotform fits organisations that need payments, signatures, workflows and compliance in one tool. Paid plans start higher than lighter tools, the interface can feel crowded, and submission limits push active users into higher tiers. Tally offers generous free forms with a clean editor, Typeform focuses on conversational design, Google Forms is free for simple internal surveys, and Fillout competes on modern design and integrations.
