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
Typeform popularised the "one question per screen" form. Instead of a long page of fields, respondents move through a full-screen, animated flow that feels like a conversation. That format is the product's core identity and its biggest strength: completion rates on well-built Typeforms are typically high, and the forms look polished with almost no design effort.
Beyond the builder, Typeform sells a broader engagement suite: VideoAsk (async video forms), a Logic Map for branching, calculators and hidden fields for personalisation, and a large integrations catalogue (HubSpot, Salesforce, Slack, Google Sheets, Zapier, and more). Its template gallery is deep and skews toward marketing, HR and research use cases.
forms.app is a general-purpose builder for forms, surveys, quizzes and simple order forms. It ships a very large template gallery, 30+ field types, conditional logic, calculators, e-signatures, payment fields and its own AI assistant ("forms.app AI") that drafts a form from a prompt. Forms can be published as a standard page, a conversational one-question-at-a-time flow, or a pop-up, and every plan can connect to Google Sheets, Slack, Zapier and a growing native integration list.
Its pricing model is the interesting bit. Instead of metering responses, forms.app meters the number of forms and file storage: the free plan allows 5 forms with unlimited responses (subject to fair use) and 10 MB storage, Basic ($29 / mo, $19 annual) allows 25 forms and removes branding, Pro ($39 / mo, $29 annual) allows unlimited forms with 100 GB storage and a custom subdomain, and Premium ($79 / mo, $59 annual) adds a true custom domain and 1 TB. There is a 90-day refund guarantee and a 50% discount for non-profits and education.
Pricing
In each vendor's own terms; Typeform checked 2026-08-17, forms.app checked 2026-08-18. FormBuilder: free plan (5 forms, 100 responses / mo) and Pro at $39 / month or $390 / year.

Questions
Typeform's entry paid plan (Basic at $25 / month (annual)) is cheaper than forms.app's (Basic at $29 / month ($19 annual)). Both offer a free plan (10 responses / mo · 1 user · Typeform branding) and a free plan (5 forms · unlimited responses (fair use) · 10 MB storage · AI, logic, payments, signatures · forms.app branding) respectively. Note the plans differ in limits — see the tables above. FormBuilder Pro, for reference, is $39 / month for 10,000 responses.
Typeform offers a free plan (10 responses / mo · 1 user · Typeform branding). Billed annually; monthly billing is higher. Response caps are per month across the account.
forms.app offers a free plan (5 forms · unlimited responses (fair use) · 10 MB storage · AI, logic, payments, signatures · forms.app branding). Monthly prices shown; annual billing is roughly a third less (Basic $19, Pro $29, Premium $59 per month). Responses are unlimited on all plans within fair use — forms.app meters forms and storage instead. Check vendor pricing for current numbers.
Typeform payments: Yes (Stripe). forms.app payments: Yes (Stripe & PayPal, all plans). FormBuilder collects Stripe payments to your own account with no platform fee on every plan, including free.
Typeform HIPAA / BAA: Yes (Enterprise only). forms.app HIPAA / BAA: No (No BAA offered). FormBuilder's HIPAA plan with BAA ($99 / month) is currently rolling out.
Typeform is the conversational, one-question-at-a-time form builder known for beautiful, high-engagement surveys and lead-gen forms. forms.app is a broad, template-heavy form and survey builder that prices by number of forms and storage rather than responses, with an AI generator and payments on every plan including free. Typeform is best for marketing teams running branded lead-gen and quiz funnels; forms.app is best for small businesses and educators who need a lot of responses on a handful of forms without paying.
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.
