Fillout vs Typeform: A Free Plan With 1,000 Responses vs a Paid Plan With 100
Fillout
The most generous free tier in the form category
Typeform
The form that made one-question-at-a-time the default
Verdicts by Task
The Free plan lists 1,000 responses a month, unlimited forms and seats, and payment collection, against 100 responses and 1 user on Typeform's free plan.
Fillout's free forms carry a Fillout badge. We have tested neither.
Clarify with AI asks respondents to clarify when an open-ended answer is vague.
We found no equivalent respondent-facing follow-up on the Fillout pages we read, but that is a statement about those pages, not about the product. We have not tested Clarify with AI.
Business lists unlimited responses at $75 a month on annual billing, while Typeform's Business lists 10,000 at $91 a month on annual billing.
Both prices assume annual billing. Typeform's Business plan adds 5 users and drop-off and conversion tracking.
Typeform's pricing page lists HIPAA among its higher-tier security features; the Fillout pricing and security pages we read do not mention it.
Typeform lists HIPAA on Enterprise only (custom pricing), so this is not a self-serve option. We have not read Typeform's agreement terms; confirm the plan and the paperwork with Typeform before collecting health data.
Pro lists no branding at $40 a month on annual billing; Typeform's Plus removes branding at $56 a month on annual billing.
Fillout's cheaper Starter plan keeps light branding.
Feature Comparison
| Dimension | Fillout | Typeform |
|---|---|---|
| AI-native | AI-Powered | AI-Powered |
| What it is | Positions itself as the all-in-one form solution ("Forms that do it all"), with 50+ native integrations and AI form, survey and quiz makers; made by Zite | A hosted form builder with an AI form builder, a Research Flow feature and logic and workflow automation per its help center |
| Free plan | $0, 1,000 responses a month, unlimited forms and seats; the pricing page lists payment collection, multi-page forms, conditional logic, file uploads, workflows, calculations and PDF generation on Free, with a Fillout badge | $0, 100 responses a month, unlimited forms, 1 user |
| First paid plan | Starter: $15 a month billed annually ($180 a year), 2,000 responses a month, light branding | Basic: $39 a month, or $28 a month billed annually, still 100 responses a month |
| Higher-volume plans | Pro: $40 a month billed annually, 5,000 responses. Business: $75 a month billed annually, unlimited responses | Plus: $79 a month, or $56 billed annually, 1,000 responses and 3 users. Business: $129 a month, or $91 billed annually, 10,000 responses and 5 users |
| Removing the vendor branding | Starter has light branding; Pro and Business show none | Plus removes Typeform branding and adds a custom subdomain |
| AI features | AI Form Builder, Survey Maker and Quiz Maker, a Form Agent that adds and edits fields, pages, calculations and conditional logic, and AI actions that summarize, classify or extract insights from submissions; AI can be turned off organization-wide | AI Form Builder from a prompt, Clarify with AI (follows up when an open-ended answer is vague), Ask AI over your data, qualitative and quantitative response analysis and translation across 25+ languages; Typeform's AI page states no plan restrictions |
| Payments | Collect payments is listed on Free, Starter, Pro and Business; a Stripe-powered payment page supports cards, wallets and bank accounts, including a dynamic page that updates with respondent selections | Typeform offers payment questions through Stripe; we could not confirm from the pricing page which plan includes them |
| Security, compliance and hosting | Security page states SOC 2 Type 2 compliance (for Zite, which runs Fillout), with GDPR and FERPA pages, a deployment-region setting for choosing where data is stored and processed, and servers in the US and the EU (EU servers are used only on request). SAML SSO sits on Enterprise. The pricing and security pages we read do not mention HIPAA | The pricing page lists SSO, HIPAA and a choice of US or EU data center as Enterprise security features (custom pricing); GDPR compliance is listed on all plans. We did not read a Typeform SOC 2 statement or its agreement terms |
Same job: hosted form builders with AI help for creating forms
Fillout's free plan lists ten times the monthly responses Typeform's does
Typeform's first paid plan lists the same response allowance as its free plan; Fillout's lists 2,000 for less money
Fillout's Business plan lists unlimited responses at $75 a month on annual billing; Typeform's Business lists 10,000 at $91
Fillout removes branding from $40 a month on annual billing; Typeform from $56 a month on annual billing
Typeform documents an AI follow-up question for respondents; the Fillout pages we read describe AI for building forms and processing submissions, and we found no equivalent follow-up feature there
Fillout documents payments on its free plan; check Typeform's plan before relying on it
Fillout documents SOC 2 Type 2 and region choice on the pages we read; of those pages, HIPAA appears only on Typeform's pricing page, and only on its Enterprise plan
Still deciding between these two?
Choosing is the easy part. Getting it running inside your business, on your data, with your team using it, is the work. We do both.
