Best Typeform Alternatives (2026)

After the 2026 free-tier cut, Typeform alternatives are having a moment. Ranked by what's actually free — and what each tool's users complain about.

1

Coordinator

OUR PICK — obviously, it's ours. Judge the reasoning:

Coordinator is free with unlimited users and no usage caps — not a free tier, the whole product — and the form builders features sit inside one system with real accounting, projects, scheduling, client records and a cross-company network. Payments run on your own Stripe, PayPal or Wise with zero platform cut. The honest limitations: it's web-only today (no native mobile apps yet), and it won't match every specialist's deepest niche feature — each entry below notes where the specialist still wins.

  • Free — every feature, every seat, forever
  • No usage meters: unlimited invoices, submissions, contacts, hours
  • One system: the money, the work and the client connect
  • Your own payment rails; we never touch funds

Free. No card. About two minutes to set up.

Typeform

Free (near-demo); ~$28–$91/mo annual

The beautiful conversational form — priced by response, with the free tier cut to almost nothing in 2026.

Where it wins

Typeform's one-question-at-a-time polish and completion-rate craft are genuinely best-in-class for marketing surveys and quizzes.

What users complain about

We hit the response cap and every form went private — mid-campaign

3

Jotform

Free (100 subs/mo); ~$34–$99/mo

The incumbent generalist form builder — 35M users, priced by monthly submission quota, single-user below Enterprise.

Where it wins

10,000+ templates and a huge widget gallery mean Jotform probably has a pre-built version of any form you can imagine.

What users complain about

We hit the submission cap and our forms went dark mid-month

4

Google Forms

Free (with a Google account)

The free default — unbeatable for a quick internal survey, visibly a survey tool the moment a customer touches it.

Where it wins

A 5-question team survey in your existing Google world is exactly what Forms is perfect at.

What users complain about

File uploads force people to sign in to Google — they just abandon

5

Microsoft Forms

Bundled with M365 (~$7–$22/user/mo)

The survey tool bundled with Microsoft 365 — used by default in M365 shops, designed for quizzes and internal surveys.

Where it wins

For internal surveys in a compliance-conscious tenant, being inside Microsoft's security boundary is a real argument.

What users complain about

Adding a file upload locks the form to people in our organization

6

Tally

Free (generous); Pro ~$24/mo

The indie-hacker favorite — a genuinely generous free form builder with a Notion-style editor, monetized via Pro and a 5% payment commission on free.

Where it wins

Tally's type-like-a-doc editor is genuinely delightful, and its bootstrapped, no-tricks ethos deserves the praise it gets.

What users complain about

The 5% commission on payments stings

7

Formstack

~$83–$250/mo (no free tier)

Enterprise forms-and-documents (now 'Intellistack') — $83+/mo for one builder seat, with workflows and e-sign on the $250+/mo Suite.

Where it wins

If your business runs on Salesforce, Formstack's native product writes straight into your org — nothing here compares.

What users complain about

There's no cancel button and billing kept charging after we cancelled

8

Cognito Forms

Free (100 entries/mo); ~$19–$130/mo

The power-logic form builder — calculations and repeating sections free, monetized by entry caps and a cut of your payments.

Where it wins

Cognito's in-form calculations and repeating sections are genuinely powerful — Coordinator's forms don't do computed math.

What users complain about

They take a cut of my payments on top of Stripe's fees

9

Zoho Forms

Free (tight); ~$10–$90/mo

The Zoho suite's form builder — cheap tiers, tight free plan, and at its best only when feeding Zoho CRM.

Where it wins

Zoho Forms' iOS/Android app collects offline with photos, barcode scans and finger signatures — real value for field teams that Coordinator (web-only today) doesn't match.

What users complain about

Features we used free got moved behind the paywall and our forms broke

10

Paperform

Free (30 subs/mo); ~$24–$99/mo

The doc-style form builder with built-in commerce — pleasant to use, priced by yearly submission buckets with tier jumps.

Where it wins

Building a Paperform genuinely feels like writing a page, and their human support is consistently praised.

What users complain about

The entry plan is pricey yet missing what should be included

11

Fillout

Free (1,000 resp/mo); ~$15–$75/mo

The rising star with a generous free tier — forms that write into your Airtable, Notion or Sheets.

Where it wins

Fillout's bidirectional sync into those tools is the best in class — if that's your stack, it's the right form layer for it.

What users complain about

The features that make it feel premium stack up the ladder

12

Feathery

Free (500 subs/mo); paid tiers quote-only

The enterprise intake platform for financial services — developer-grade flows, now sales-quoted pricing only.

Where it wins

KYC flows, verification vendors, document autofill, HIPAA — for fintech/insurance intake at scale, Feathery is purpose-built and Coordinator doesn't compete.

What users complain about

Pricing went quote-only — we can't even see the numbers

Full Coordinator vs Feathery comparison
13

Heyflow

Free (10 resp/mo); ~$22–$229/mo

The lead-funnel builder for paid traffic — conversion-optimized flows, priced per response.

Where it wins

For agencies converting paid traffic at volume — solar, insurance, legal — Heyflow's validation, A/B testing and compliance tooling are purpose-built.

What users complain about

We pay for every response — including garbage leads

14

OpnForm

Free (unlimited subs); ~$21–$220/mo for the rest

The open-source Typeform alternative — unlimited free submissions in the cloud, with the team features on the ladder.

Where it wins

If auditable code and your own Postgres are requirements, OpnForm's AGPL edition is the point — Coordinator doesn't offer source or self-hosting.

What users complain about

Self-hosting free caps at 2 users; unlimited costs $1,999 a year

15

POWR Form Builder

Free (25 subs/mo); ~$10–$90/mo

The widget vendor — 60+ embeddable plugins for Shopify/Wix/Squarespace sites, forms metered at 25 free submissions a month.

Where it wins

Galleries, popups, countdowns, social feeds — if you want many small site widgets from one account, POWR's catalog is the point.

What users complain about

Found out about the 25-submission cap after launch

16

HubSpot Forms

Free (branded); $20/seat → ~$800+/mo cliff

The free-CRM hook — forms that create contacts automatically, then meter everything you do with them.

Where it wins

Sequences, smart content, attribution, A/B — if you're genuinely running lifecycle marketing and can pay Professional, HubSpot's depth is real.

What users complain about

Free was great until the $800/month cliff
