How the pricing compares. On raw response volume Fillout beats almost everyone at the free tier: 1,000 responses a month, unlimited forms and unlimited seats for $0, versus FormBuilder's 100 responses and 3 forms. Where the picture flips is what you get for around $40. Fillout Pro at $40 gives 5,000 responses and removes branding, but custom domains and analytics wait for Business at $75. FormBuilder Pro at $39 includes 10,000 responses, branding removed, custom themes, webhooks and a custom domain in one plan. And FormBuilder holds any response past your cap instead of losing it, which matters more on the free tier than the headline number does. If you need Airtable / Notion / HubSpot two-way sync, Fillout's pricing is easy to justify; if you need a white-labelled public form, FormBuilder gets you there for less.

Making the call

How to choose

Our take

Choose Fillout when your data lives in Airtable, Notion, HubSpot or Salesforce and you want forms that read and write those records directly, or when you simply need a lot of free responses across many forms and seats. Choose FormBuilder when you want a fast AI-drafted builder for everyday business forms, branding removed plus custom domain and webhooks in one $39 plan, and the safety of held responses when you outgrow a tier.

FSwitch to FormBuilder if…

  • You want a branded, badge-free form on your own domain for $39 rather than $75
  • You want an AI generator that drafts the whole form from a sentence
  • You never want a busy month to drop submissions
  • You need 10,000 responses a month without a Business-tier price

FStay on Fillout if…

  • Your team runs on Airtable, Notion, HubSpot or Salesforce
  • You need prefilled, record-updating or login-gated forms
  • You want 1,000 free responses a month with unlimited seats
  • You need PDF generation or partial-submission capture

Switching

Moving off Fillout in four steps

Export your data

In Fillout, open the form → Results → Export CSV. If the form was connected to Airtable, Notion or Sheets, your data is already there and nothing needs moving.

Recreate the form with AI

Paste your Fillout field list into FormBuilder's AI generator; it drafts field types, required flags and pages. Add logic and calculations in the editor.

Reconnect your data destinations

Send responses to Airtable, Notion, HubSpot or Sheets through Zapier (6,000+ apps) or webhooks. Match field names to your existing columns.

Swap the embed and links

Replace the Fillout embed or share link with your FormBuilder one, then update any redirects or emails that pointed to the old form.

Fillout exports responses as CSV from each form's Results tab, or you already have them in the connected Airtable / Notion / Sheet. Form structures cannot be exported, so recreate the form — pasting your field list into the AI generator is the fastest route.

Questions

Fillout alternatives: frequently asked

What is the best alternative to Fillout?

For most business forms, FormBuilder is the strongest Fillout alternative: an AI generator that drafts forms from a sentence, a drag-and-drop editor with logic and multi-page layouts, 100 free responses a month with overflow held rather than lost, and a $39 Pro plan for 10,000 responses with branding removed. Choose Fillout when your data lives in Airtable, Notion, HubSpot or Salesforce and you want forms that read and write those records directly, or when you simply need a lot of free responses across many forms and seats. Choose FormBuilder when you want a fast AI-drafted builder for everyday business forms, branding removed plus custom domain and webhooks in one $39 plan, and the safety of held responses when you outgrow a tier.

What is the best free alternative to Fillout?

Fillout's free tier is 1,000 responses / mo · unlimited forms & seats · 20 mb uploads · fillout branding. FormBuilder's free plan gives you 5 active forms and 100 responses a month, with email notifications, CSV export, embedding and the AI generator included. If you outgrow it, responses are held — the form keeps working while you decide.

Why do people switch away from Fillout?

The reasons we hear most: needing $75 / mo Business just to get a custom domain and analytics; paying $40 / mo before the Fillout badge comes off; not using Airtable or Notion, so the main differentiator goes unused; forms that stop accepting submissions when the monthly cap is hit.

Can I move my Fillout forms and data to FormBuilder?

Fillout exports responses as CSV from each form's Results tab, or you already have them in the connected Airtable / Notion / Sheet. Form structures cannot be exported, so recreate the form — pasting your field list into the AI generator is the fastest route.

Is FormBuilder a good alternative to Fillout?

Yes for everyday business forms — intake, lead capture, applications, orders. FormBuilder gives you an AI generator, drag-and-drop editor, logic, multi-page forms, file uploads, webhooks and Zapier, with branding removed and a custom domain on a $39 Pro plan. Fillout stays the better pick if you need native two-way sync with Airtable, Notion, HubSpot or Salesforce.

What is the difference between Fillout and FormBuilder?

Fillout is built around connecting forms to external databases and offers a very large free plan, but spreads branding, domain and analytics features across $15, $40 and $75 tiers. FormBuilder is an AI-first builder with a smaller free plan (100 responses, 3 forms) but a single $39 Pro plan that bundles 10,000 responses, branding removal, custom domain and webhooks — and it holds over-limit responses instead of dropping them.

How much does Fillout cost compared to FormBuilder?

Fillout is free for 1,000 responses a month, then $15 (Starter), $40 (Pro, removes branding) and $75 (Business, custom domain and analytics) per month on annual billing. FormBuilder is free for 100 responses a month and $39 a month for 10,000 responses with branding removed and a custom domain.

Does Fillout have a free plan?

Yes, and it is one of the most generous in the category: 1,000 responses a month, unlimited forms, unlimited seats, payments and 20 MB file uploads. It carries Fillout branding and does not include custom themes, custom domains or analytics.
