How to choose Online Form Builders tools
Tally and Fillout both offer unlimited forms and submissions on a free plan, which sets them apart from most here. Jotform is free to start but adds its own branding to forms on the free plan. FormBold's free tier is capped at 5 forms and 100 submissions a month. Pageclip and FormBold skip the visual builder entirely: you write the HTML and they handle where the data goes. Google Forms and Cognito Forms have no free tier at all.

Cognito FormsWhether the tool builds the form or just receives it
Tally, Jotform, Fillout, and Paperform all give you a visual editor where you drag, drop, and configure questions without touching code. Pageclip and FormBold work differently: you write the HTML form yourself and point it at their service, which then collects and delivers the submissions. Pageclip also ignores file inputs entirely, so uploads are not an option there. If you want to build a form without writing any code, Pageclip and FormBold are not the right starting point.
What you can do before paying anything
Tally and Fillout both allow unlimited forms and unlimited submissions on their free plans, which no other tool here matches. FormBold's free plan allows 5 forms and 100 submissions a month, and shows only email notifications until you upgrade. Jotform is free to start but places its own branding on your forms and limits usage. Paperform lists a free tier, though its paid plans are billed annually rather than monthly. Cognito Forms offers only a 14-day trial with no ongoing free plan, and Google Forms requires a paid account from day one.
Limits that appear as your volume grows
Fillout's free plan caps file uploads at 20 MB per file, and features like custom domains require a paid plan starting at $15 a month. Tally's free plan limits file uploads to 10 MB and moves detailed analytics behind its Pro plan at $24 a month. Jotform's paid plans run from $39 to $99 a month, and handling healthcare data in a way that meets legal requirements is only available on higher tiers. Cognito Forms scales its Team Plan price between $25 and $250 a month depending on the number of outside users, which can add up quickly for larger groups.

Frequently asked questions
Which online form builders are free to use?
Tally, Fillout, Jotform, Pageclip, FormBold, and Paperform all have free plans. Tally and Fillout go furthest, offering unlimited forms and submissions at no cost. FormBold's free plan is the most restricted, capping you at 5 forms and 100 submissions a month. Google Forms and Cognito Forms have no free plan; Cognito gives a 14-day trial, and Google Forms requires a paid account.
Which tool suits lead capture without paying?
Tally and Fillout both support lead capture on their free plans with no submission limits. Jotform also handles lead capture for free but adds its own branding to forms until you upgrade. Pageclip supports lead capture too, though you must write the HTML form yourself rather than using a visual editor.
Can I build a quiz with these tools?
Yes. Tally, Fillout, Google Forms, and Paperform all support quiz creation. Tally and Fillout do it on a free plan. Google Forms includes logic flows and quiz features but requires a paid account starting at $7 per user a month. Paperform's quiz features sit inside its document-style editor and its paid plans are billed annually.
Which tools work for collecting customer feedback?
Tally, Fillout, Google Forms, and Paperform all cover customer feedback surveys. Tally and Fillout are free with no submission caps. Paperform adds built-in payment and booking options in the same form, which suits feedback tied to a purchase or appointment. Google Forms connects directly to a spreadsheet for real-time response tracking, but only on a paid account.
Do any of these tools handle workflow automation?
Fillout, Cognito Forms, and Paperform all include the ability to trigger actions automatically after a form is submitted, such as sending data to another tool or assigning a task. Cognito Forms goes further with task assignments, status tracking, and document generation, but it has no free plan beyond a 14-day trial. Fillout includes automation on its free plan, with more advanced options from $15 a month.
Which tool suits a developer adding a form to a static site?
Pageclip and FormBold are built for exactly this. Both let you point an HTML form at their service and handle the submission without running your own server. Pageclip's free plan is open-ended on submissions; FormBold's free plan allows 100 submissions a month across 5 forms. Neither includes a visual form builder, so you write the form code yourself.
