5 Best Typeform Alternatives in 2026

Typeform is a great form-building tool that allows you to create beautiful forms within minutes. However, it does struggle with a few limitations.

1. If you're collecting payments inside your forms, you need at least the Plus plan. The payment question is not available on the free plan, and it only supports one-time payments.
2. Typeform's signature question is reserved for the Business plan and above, so collecting signatures inside a form is expensive.
3. Typeform's AI form creation helps you draft a form, but the free plan only allows 100 responses per month, which many small businesses use up quickly.
4. Lastly, we found many users complaining that Typeform is simply too expensive. The cheapest plan is $25 per month billed yearly, and if you want to get rid of the Typeform branding on your form, you'll have to sign up for the Plus plan, which costs $50 per month billed yearly. Prices checked September 2026.

So, to help you make the right buying decision and choose the form builder that matches your needs, we'll discuss five Typeform alternatives. Since we're writing this guide, we thought we'd first review our online form-building tool, FormBuilder. You can also see a side-by-side breakdown on our FormBuilder vs Typeform page.

Note: Even though FormBuilder is our tool, we aimed to make this review as objective as possible. FormBuilder isn't perfect, but we believe we offer a strong AI form generator, a generous free plan, and signature, payment and integration features that Typeform reserves for its higher tiers. So, if you want to give FormBuilder a shot, sign up for free.

1. FormBuilder: Best AI form building features

This is how FormBuilder solves the challenges presented by Typeform:

• AI form generator on every plan
• A free plan you can actually run a business on
• Signature fields, Stripe payment fields and 100+ integrations
• Affordable pricing plans

AI form generator on every plan

Typeform has AI features that let you build a form from a few prompts, and so does FormBuilder. Our AI form generator turns a short description ("a client intake form for a physiotherapy clinic with a consent checkbox") into a working draft you can edit in the drag-and-drop builder.

The difference is what surrounds it. FormBuilder can also import an existing form from a PDF, a URL, Jotform, or Typeform, so switching does not mean rebuilding every form by hand. And you can work with FormBuilder from Claude or ChatGPT through our AI assistant integration.

A free plan you can run a business on

Typeform's free plan caps you at 100 responses per month and keeps Typeform branding on your form. FormBuilder's free plan also includes 100 responses per month and 5 active forms, but it comes with conditional logic, multi-page forms, file uploads, email notifications, templates and form analytics, with no credit card required.

Form analytics show views, starts and completions for each form, so you can see where respondents drop off and fix the question that is costing you submissions.

Signature fields, Stripe payment fields and 100+ integrations

Typeform restricts its payment question to paid plans and its signature question to the Business plan. FormBuilder includes a signature field and Stripe payment fields, so you can collect a signed consent or agreement and charge for a booking, a registration or a product inside the form itself.

Submissions can go straight to Google Sheets, to a webhook, or to more than 100 apps through Zapier, including HubSpot, Mailchimp, Slack, Salesforce and PayPal. If you need a managed signing workflow on top of the in-form signature field, connect a tool such as DocuSign through Zapier.

Affordable pricing plans

The final pain point we want to discuss is pricing. Typeform's cheapest plan is $25 per month billed yearly, which is quite expensive compared to most online form builders. Moreover, this plan will still contain Typeform branding, so if you want to remove this, you'll have to upgrade to the Plus plan at $50 per month billed yearly.

A core value we had when founding FormBuilder was that we wanted to make our application accessible to anyone, so the free plan is free for good. The Pro plan costs $39 per month with a 14-day free trial, removes the FormBuilder badge, and gives you 100 active forms, 10,000 responses per month, custom branding and custom domains. See pricing for details.

2. Best free Typeform alternative: Google Forms

If you're looking for a free Typeform alternative that still offers good form-building features such as conditional sections, custom form design, and third-party integrations, Google Forms is a good option.

Although it's free, Google Forms is a staple for many business owners, freelancers, and other types of professionals because the platform makes it easy to create simple forms and embed them on your website within seconds.

However, it's worth noting that Google Forms has some real limitations. For instance, you can't collect payments inside your Google Form. You'll either have to paste a link to your website's checkout page (which increases form abandonment) or connect to a paid third-party add-on.

You also can't collect signatures inside your form as Google Forms doesn't have a signature functionality. If these factors are deal breakers for you, you might want to consider FormBuilder instead. See FormBuilder vs Google Forms.

3. Best for Microsoft users: Microsoft Forms

Alternatively, if you're already subscribed to Microsoft 365 and are looking for a "free" tool that sits between the advanced features of FormBuilder and the barebones nature of Google Forms, consider Microsoft Forms.

Microsoft Forms is a step up from Google Forms because it offers users more flexibility in the form creation process. You can utilize branching logic, choose from a larger template library, and, if your organization has a Microsoft 365 Copilot license, use Copilot to draft a form for you.

But like Google Forms, Microsoft Forms has no payment fields and no signature question, and its design options are limited to a set of themes. See FormBuilder vs Microsoft Forms.

4. Best for building surveys: SurveyMonkey

If you're looking for a form builder that offers features specifically related to survey building, SurveyMonkey is for you. SurveyMonkey has hundreds of survey templates related to different industries as well as potential questions you might want to ask users.

Once you've collected form responses from users, you can generate various types of charts and graphs, such as pie graphs, bar graphs, line graphs, and scatter plots. This helps you better understand the information you're collecting from users and ensure you can communicate these findings to stakeholders, employees, and colleagues.

We also like that SurveyMonkey allows you to compare your survey results against benchmarks built from other SurveyMonkey customers, so you can get some context on whether your customer satisfaction or employee engagement scores are good or need improvement. Global benchmarks are free; industry benchmarks are included on the Advantage plan and above. See FormBuilder vs SurveyMonkey.

5. Best for WordPress users: WPForms

If you're looking for a form builder to embed contact forms, registration forms, and job application forms on your WordPress website and don't want to use a third-party application, consider WPForms. This form builder is installed on your WordPress dashboard, so when you create a form, you can instantly publish it on your website.

The form creation process is also straightforward. You'll find an editor inside this application where you can drag and drop certain fields from the left-hand side onto your form, and when you're happy with your form, all you have to do is publish it.

And like most form builders, it offers good spam protection like reCAPTCHA and hCAPTCHA. It even lets you create your own custom CAPTCHA using a math question, protecting your website from spammers.

But WPForms only lives inside WordPress. If you also need forms on a landing page builder, a Shopify store, or shared by link, you will want a hosted form builder such as FormBuilder, which embeds on any site.

Use the power of AI to build a form with FormBuilder

If you're interested in utilizing the features we mentioned above to build beautiful forms and easily embed them on your website, consider signing up for a free FormBuilder account.
