What Jotform covers.
What is Jotform used for?
Our take on Jotform.
Jotform is one of the most comprehensive form builders on the market: 10,000+ templates, payment integration (Stripe, PayPal, Square), electronic signatures, data dashboards and 200+ integrations with third-party tools. It covers use cases well beyond the simple contact form.
The Bronze plan at $34/month (≈€31.28) or ~$28/month annual gives access to 1,000 submissions/month, 25 forms and 10 GB storage. The free version limits to 5 forms and 100 submissions/month.
Difference from Typeform (already in DB): Jotform is more feature and volume oriented (more fields, more integrations, advanced payments), while Typeform bets on conversational experience. For freelancers and agencies creating client forms, quotes, registrations and payments, Jotform is the most versatile tool.
