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
MightyForms is a drag-and-drop online form builder aimed at small businesses that needed lead-capture, intake, order and registration forms without writing code. Its signature idea was that a form should never lose a lead: every keystroke was saved as a partial submission, abandoned forms could be recovered with automated follow-up emails, and respondents could resume where they left off. Stripe and PayPal payments, autoresponders, email/SMS notifications, PDF export and Zapier connectivity rounded out the product.
In May 2026 FormBuilder acquired MightyForms. The MightyForms app remains available at its existing login for current customers, and nothing about existing accounts, forms, submissions or billing has been moved automatically. FormBuilder.com is now the home for the MightyForms public templates and educational resources, and it is where we recommend building new forms.
FormGrid is an independent form and survey builder whose pitch is looks and logic for free. The free plan includes unlimited forms and unlimited responses, an AI assistant that drafts a form (questions, logic and design) from a text description, custom themes, a flexible grid layout system, and a fairly deep logic set — conditional questions, repeatable sections, answer piping, calculations, hidden fields and page navigation. Responses land in a built-in analytics dashboard with CSV / XLSX export.
The paid tiers are about working with other people and looking like yourself. Plus ($29 / month as listed by third-party directories; annual billing saves up to 34%) adds team collaboration, custom emails, a custom domain, hiding the FormGrid badge, 30-day version history and 100 MB uploads. Business ($79 / month) adds workspaces, roles and permissions, 90-day history and 1 GB uploads. Integrations cover Zapier, Make, Airtable, Notion, Google Sheets and webhooks. Data is hosted in Europe and the product is GDPR-oriented.

Questions
MightyForms's entry paid plan (Starter at $19 / month) is cheaper than FormGrid's (Plus at $29 / month (per directories)). Both offer a free plan (2 forms · 100 submissions / mo · 1,000 views / mo · 3 logic rules per form · MightyForms branding) and a free plan (Unlimited forms & responses · AI drafting · custom themes · logic · 10 MB uploads · unlimited team members · FormGrid badge) respectively. Note the plans differ in limits — see the tables above. FormBuilder Pro, for reference, is $39 / month for 10,000 responses.

FormGrid offers a free plan (Unlimited forms & responses · AI drafting · custom themes · logic · 10 MB uploads · unlimited team members · FormGrid badge). The vendor pricing page shows plan contents but the dollar amounts we could confirm come from third-party listings (Plus $29, Business $79 per month); annual billing is advertised as saving up to 34%.

MightyForms is the drag-and-drop form builder known for abandoned-form recovery and partial submissions — now part of FormBuilder. FormGrid is a small, design-led form builder that gives away unlimited forms and responses with AI drafting, and charges only for team features, custom domains and badge removal. MightyForms is best for existing MightyForms customers who want to keep using the app they know; FormGrid is best for designers, makers and small teams who want unusually pretty forms for free.
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.
