Annual prices shown (Wufoo lists them as monthly equivalents at a 25% discount); month-to-month billing costs more. Entry caps are per month across the account.
How the pricing compares. The two free plans look similar on paper — both allow 100 submissions a month — but Wufoo caps free forms at 10 fields, gives no file uploads, and closes the form when the entry limit is hit; FormBuilder holds any responses past 100 instead of dropping them, and lets you build full-length forms free. Wufoo's Starter is cheaper than FormBuilder Pro ($16.25 vs $39 on annual billing), but it is limited to 10 forms, 1,000 entries and one user, and payments, password protection and analytics tracking wait until Professional at $33.25. At that point FormBuilder Pro's $39 buys 100 forms, 10,000 responses, webhooks and branding removed — twice Professional's entry cap for a few dollars more. Wufoo's upper tiers (25,000 and 200,000 entries) are its real advantage: if you routinely collect tens of thousands of entries a month, Advanced at $83.25 is competitive.

Making the call

How to choose

Our take

Choose Wufoo when you need a plain, stable form with a native payment field and are happy with a product that is maintained rather than developed. Choose FormBuilder when you want an AI-assisted, modern builder with a more useful free plan, held responses instead of closed forms, custom domains, and 10,000 responses for $39.

FSwitch to FormBuilder if…

  • You want to draft a whole form from a sentence with AI
  • Your free-plan forms need more than 10 fields or file uploads
  • You never want a form to close and lose submissions when you hit a cap
  • You need a custom domain, e-signatures, calculations or a HIPAA path

WStay on Wufoo if…

  • You already have many forms and Zapier workflows built on Wufoo and they work
  • You want a native Stripe / Square / PayPal payment field on a mid-priced plan
  • You need 25,000+ entries a month at a predictable price
  • You prefer a tool that changes as little as possible

Switching

Moving off Wufoo in four steps

Export your entries

In Wufoo, open each form → Entries → Export → choose CSV or Excel. Download uploaded files separately if you need them, since exports contain links rather than the files themselves.

Recreate each form with AI

Copy the field labels from your Wufoo form (or its Form Manager preview) and paste them into FormBuilder's AI generator. Add rules, page breaks and required flags in the editor.

Rebuild integrations

Reconnect Google Sheets, Mailchimp, Slack or your CRM through Zapier (6,000+ apps) or a webhook. For payment fields, connect your Stripe account in Settings → Payments.

Swap embeds and links

Replace the Wufoo JavaScript or iframe embed with your FormBuilder embed, update any shared links, and set a redirect on the old Wufoo form so late visitors land on the new one.

Wufoo exports entries per form as CSV, Excel or tab-delimited text from Entries → Export. Form structures don't export, so rebuild each form — the AI generator makes this quick — and re-point your Zapier zaps and embeds.

Questions

Wufoo alternatives: frequently asked

What is the best alternative to Wufoo?

For most business forms, FormBuilder is the strongest Wufoo 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 Wufoo when you need a plain, stable form with a native payment field and are happy with a product that is maintained rather than developed. Choose FormBuilder when you want an AI-assisted, modern builder with a more useful free plan, held responses instead of closed forms, custom domains, and 10,000 responses for $39.

What is the best free alternative to Wufoo?

Wufoo's free tier is 5 forms · 100 entries / mo · 10 fields per form · 1 user · no file uploads · wufoo 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 Wufoo?

The reasons we hear most: a product that has seen little meaningful development since the SurveyMonkey acquisition; a free plan capped at 10 fields per form with no file uploads; forms that close and lose submissions when the entry limit is reached; no AI generation, signatures, calculations or custom domains; dated themes that look out of place on a modern site.

Can I move my Wufoo forms and data to FormBuilder?

Wufoo exports entries per form as CSV, Excel or tab-delimited text from Entries → Export. Form structures don't export, so rebuild each form — the AI generator makes this quick — and re-point your Zapier zaps and embeds.

Is FormBuilder a good alternative to Wufoo?

Yes. FormBuilder covers the same everyday forms — contact, registration, order, intake — with a modern drag-and-drop editor plus an AI generator, conditional logic, multi-page forms, file uploads, webhooks and Zapier. The free plan allows 100 responses a month with full-length forms, and Pro is $39 a month for 100 forms and 10,000 responses.

What is the difference between Wufoo and FormBuilder?

Wufoo is a long-standing, deliberately simple form builder owned by SurveyMonkey; it prices by monthly entries and form count and has changed little in recent years. FormBuilder is a newer, AI-first builder with a more generous free tier, held responses when you exceed a plan, custom domains, e-signatures and calculations.

How much does Wufoo cost compared to FormBuilder?

Wufoo is free for 5 forms and 100 entries a month, then $16.25 (Starter, 1,000 entries), $33.25 (Professional, 5,000), $83.25 (Advanced, 25,000) and $210.25 (Ultimate, 200,000) per month on annual billing. FormBuilder is free for 100 responses a month and $39 a month for 10,000 responses with branding removed.

Does Wufoo have a free plan?

Yes. Wufoo's free plan includes 5 forms, 100 entries a month and one user, but each form is limited to 10 fields, file uploads are not available, and forms carry Wufoo branding.
