Jotform vs Typeform free plan: which one gives you more room before paying?
The current free tiers are very different on raw response capacity. Jotform Starter includes 5 forms and 100 monthly submissions, while Typeform Free allows 10 responses per month. The right choice still depends on whether you care more about free-volume headroom, form style, logic, integrations, payment workflows or team needs.

Choose Jotform first when…
You want substantially more free monthly submission capacity, up to five forms, and access to Jotform's standard form-building ecosystem before paying. Jotform says Starter includes standard features such as templates, payment integrations and widgets, with usage limits and Jotform branding.

|---|---|---|
| Monthly price | $0 Starter plan. | $0 Free plan. |
| Monthly responses | 100 monthly submissions. | 10 responses per month across forms. |
| Number of forms | 5 forms. | Typeform's Free help page focuses on response limits rather than a fixed form-count limit; check the current workspace terms before relying on a specific number. |
| Logic | Jotform says Starter includes its standard feature set, subject to free-plan limits. | Typeform Free explicitly includes Logic, including branching, calculations, scores and variables. |
| Payments | Starter currently lists up to 10 monthly payment submissions and includes payment integrations among standard features. | Typeform lets Free users preview the Payment question, but a form using paid features cannot be publicly shared until the paid feature is removed or the account is upgraded. |
| Branding | Jotform branding is present on Starter and is removed on qualifying paid plans. | Typeform branding removal is a paid feature. |
| Data export | Jotform provides submission storage and export workflows within plan limits. | Typeform Free explicitly allows spreadsheet export of results. |
| Paid-plan path | Current annual-billing display lists Bronze from $34/month, Silver from $39/month and Gold from $99/month. Exact billing terms should be checked live. | Paid pricing depends on plan, response limit and billing mode. Use Typeform's current pricing page rather than assuming a single fixed entry price. |
Plan limits and billing can change. Confirm the live vendor pages before importing a production workflow or entering payment details.
What to test before upgrading
Build the same real workflow in both products: one lead form, one conditional path, one notification flow and one embedded version on your site. Compare completion rate, setup time, mobile behavior, integrations, export quality and how quickly you hit the free response limit.
Does Jotform's higher free response limit automatically make it better?
No. It gives you more free submission headroom, but form experience, design preferences, logic, integrations and downstream workflow matter. Typeform can still be the better fit for teams that prefer its interaction model and only need a small number of test responses.
Can Typeform Free users publish forms that use paid features?
Typeform's current help center says you can preview several paid features in a Free account, but a form using those paid features is closed to everyone except you until those features are removed or you upgrade.
