Fillout suits teams and freelancers managing multiple forms with integration needs; for a simple contact form, a minimal solution works better.
About
In practice. What you can do with Fillout.
Fillout is a form builder that goes well beyond Google Forms: advanced conditional logic, Stripe payment collection, appointment scheduling, PDF generation, and native connections to Notion, Airtable or HubSpot.
The free plan allows 1,000 responses/month with unlimited forms. The Starter plan at $15/mo scales to 2,000 responses and adds login forms and custom redirects. In practice, Fillout replaces Typeform (5× more expensive) for 90% of freelance use cases: client onboarding, project briefs, testimonial collection, satisfaction surveys.
