Two popular form builders compared on the same 25-row feature matrix and pricing, with FormBuilder shown as a third column so you can see another option to consider.
Overview
Jotform is one of the oldest and most fully featured form builders on the market. The drag-and-drop editor supports classic single-page forms and a "card" one-question-at-a-time layout, and it ships with an enormous library — around 10,000 templates, hundreds of widgets, and 100+ payment and app integrations. If you have a niche form need, there is a good chance Jotform already has a template or widget for it.
Over the years the product has grown into a small platform: Jotform Tables (a spreadsheet/database view of submissions), PDF Editor and Report Builder, Jotform Sign for e-signatures, Approvals for workflow routing, an App builder, and more recently AI Agents that can fill or answer questions about a form conversationally. All of it is bundled into the same plan tiers.
OrbitForms is less a form builder than a lead-capture stack with a form on the front. The core is a drag-and-drop form and conversational "Flow" builder with conditional logic, multi-page forms and file uploads, but the reason it exists is what happens after submit: a calendar-synced scheduler (Google Calendar / Outlook, Zoom / Meet links, round-robin and group booking), an "AI SDR" that scores and routes leads against your ideal-customer rules, a visual workflow builder, multi-channel email and SMS sequences, and a contact database with tagging and ownership.
Pricing is aimed at sales and marketing teams rather than individuals. There is a 7-day free trial but no free tier. Pro is $29 a month ($23.20 annual) for up to 10 forms and 1,000 responses a month with branding removed, custom CSS, Slack and webhooks, and 3 workflows. Business is $149 a month ($119.20 annual) for unlimited forms, 10,000 responses, scheduling, AI-agent workflows, lead classification, A/B testing and partial submissions. Advanced is $249 a month ($199.20 annual) for 100,000 responses, sequences, SMS and custom domains. Integrations include Clay, HubSpot, Slack, Zapier, Google Sheets, Notion and Salesmsg.

Jotform is the veteran all-in-one form builder with the largest template and widget catalogue, plus PDFs, e-signatures, tables, approvals and an app builder bolted on. OrbitForms is an AI-native lead-capture platform that bundles forms, meeting scheduling, an AI lead qualifier, workflows and email/SMS sequences for revenue teams — with no free plan. Jotform is best for teams that want forms, PDFs, e-signatures, approvals and a data table in one subscription; OrbitForms is best for b2B sales and marketing teams that want form → qualify → book-a-meeting in one tool.
FormBuilder is worth a look if you want an AI generator that drafts forms from a sentence, 100 free responses a month with overflow held rather than lost, Stripe payments with no platform fee, and a flat $39 / month Pro plan for 10,000 responses.
