Typeform
FormsConversational forms and surveys.
Typeform sits in the premium tier of the form-builder category — they're not competing with Google Forms on price, they're competing on experience and brand. Against Jotform or Tally, they're the 'design-forward' option that charges accordingly, targeting teams where form UX is a product decision, not an afterthought.
Plans: Basic $39/mo · Plus $79/mo · Business $129/mo · Growth Flow $379/mo
-
Tally
FormsFree, simple form builder.
Tally is clearly the budget-friendly challenger — Pro at $24/mo undercuts Typeform's equivalent tier significantly and positions them as the 'why pay more' option for form builders. They're going after cost-conscious indie makers and small teams who feel burned by usage-based pricing on tools like Typeform or Jotform.
Plans: Free $0/mo · Pro $24/mo · Business $74/mo
-
Jotform
FormsOnline form builder.
Jotform sits in the mid-market sweet spot, undercutting Typeform's premium positioning while offering more out-of-the-box than Google Forms. They're clearly targeting SMBs and nonprofits who need serious form functionality without enterprise pricing, and the nonprofit/education discounts are a deliberate land-and-expand play in those verticals.
Plans: Starter $0/mo · Bronze $39/mo · Silver $49/mo · Gold $129/mo · Enterprise Contact Sales
-
Cognito Forms
FormsPowerful forms with logic and payments.
Cognito Forms sits mid-market — pricier than bare-bones form builders like Google Forms but noticeably cheaper than Jotform or Typeform at the higher tiers. Showing an actual Enterprise number ($174) instead of hiding behind 'contact sales' is a deliberate move to look transparent and win over buyers who hate opaque enterprise pricing games.
Plans: Individual $0/mo · Pro $24/mo · Team $49/mo · Enterprise $174/mo
-
Dovetail
FormsCustomer research repository and AI analysis.
Hiding all commercial pricing signals a premium positioning play — they're not competing on cost, they're competing on being the 'serious' research repository for mature UX orgs. They're going after the same enterprise research budgets as Maze and UserTesting, not the scrappy startup crowd.
Plans: Free $0/mo · Enterprise Contact Sales
-
Fillout
FormsModern forms with powerful integrations.
Sits cheap-to-mid against Typeform and Jotform, especially once you factor in the no-per-seat model — a 20-person team on Fillout Business ($89 flat) would get crushed on per-seat pricing elsewhere. They're clearly going after small-to-mid teams who feel punished by seat-based competitors and want predictable costs as they scale headcount.
Plans: Free $0/mo · Starter $19/mo · Pro $49/mo · Business $89/mo · Enterprise Contact Sales
-
Formsite
FormsOnline forms and surveys since 1998.
Sitting in the $21-84 range for most tiers puts Formsite mid-market — pricier than bare-bones form builders like Google Forms or Tally, but cheaper than the enterprise-heavy end of JotForm or Typeform's business plans. They're courting teams that need serious data/reporting features without paying for a full survey-research platform.
Plans: Personal $21/mo · Professional $34/mo · Business $59/mo · Business + $84/mo · Enterprise $209/mo
-
Formstack
FormsWorkplace forms and document automation.
Formstack sits mid-to-premium in the form-builder space — priced well above lightweight tools like Google Forms or Typeform's lower tiers, but still cheaper than heavyweight workflow-automation suites. They're clearly chasing ops-heavy mid-market teams (HR, healthcare, financial services) who need compliance-ready forms and document workflows, not solopreneurs collecting email signups.
Plans: forms $99/mo · Suite $299/mo · Salesforce Solutions Contact Sales · Enterprise Solutions Contact Sales
-
Great Question
FormsAll-in-one UX research platform.
Sits in the mid-market range for dedicated research ops platforms — not trying to compete on price with lightweight tools like Maze, but not as expensive as full enterprise suites. They're targeting teams serious enough about research to pay for a dedicated platform but not yet locked into a big-vendor relationship.
Plans: Self-serve $129/mo per seat · Enterprise Contact Sales
-
Lookback
FormsLive and unmoderated user interviews.
At $299/yr for freelancers, they're accessible enough to compete with tools like Maze or Lyssna at the low end, but the Insights Hub tier pushes into UserTesting and Dovetail territory on price. They're not the cheapest option in UX research tooling, but they're not swinging for enterprise-only either — it's a mid-market play with a clear path upmarket.
Plans: Freelance Contact Sales · Team Contact Sales · Insights Hub Contact Sales · Enterprise Contact Sales
