Paperform meters submissions per year, so a quiet January leaves budget for a busy November. Typeform's allowance is "responses/mo" and does not carry across months, so your single peak month decides which plan you must sit on all year.
The annual meter cuts both ways and our Paperform profile reads it the other direction. A spike early in the term can drain the yearly budget and leave the remaining months short, whereas a monthly cap resets every month no matter how bad the last one was. Paperform's top-ups are also bounded: Essentials cannot exceed 9,000 a year and Pro cannot exceed 30,000 even with add-ons. Paperform wins when total annual volume is predictable and its distribution is not; Typeform wins when you would rather never think past the current month.
Paperform lists a custom domain in Pro at "$49/month". Typeform's published plans go as far as a custom subdomain in Plus; no full custom domain appears on a listed tier.
A subdomain is enough for plenty of teams, and Typeform Plus at $50/month billed annually is a dollar cheaper than Paperform Pro if that is all you need.
Typeform's Business tier names "Drop-off rates, conversion tracking" as included features. Paperform's published tiers do not list abandonment analytics at all.
Both charge around $99/month monthly at the tier in question, so this is a feature difference rather than a price one, and Typeform's annual price of $83/month makes it the cheaper of the two at that level.
Typeform sells a Talent tier at $169/month with "Video questions & answers", AI clarification and 3,000 responses a month. Paperform publishes no comparable packaged tier.
It is a narrow, expensive tier: at 3,000 responses a month it costs more than Typeform's own Business plan, which carries more than three times the volume without the video features.
Paperform lists "SSO (SAML)" in its Business tier at a published "$99/month". Typeform's published plans do not list SSO, leaving contact-only Enterprise as the route.
Paperform's Business tier includes 5 users and charges "$9/month/user" beyond that to a maximum of 25, so an organisation large enough to want SSO should price the seats before assuming it is the cheaper option.

The core structural difference. Paperform lets a quiet month subsidise a busy one; Typeform resets the meter every month.
Within a dollar of each other at annual billing. Price is not the deciding line between these two.
Identical annual volume, bought two different ways. Only the shape of your traffic breaks the tie.
Paperform, on disclosure. It publishes what exceeding the allowance costs, and where the ceiling is.
The same headline price for the same annual volume. Typeform is cheaper only if you commit to annual billing.
Level. Neither vendor rations the number of forms.
Level through the middle tiers. Paperform publishes a per-seat rate above five; Typeform's page does not.
Paperform. These are not the same feature, and only one vendor publishes the full-domain version at a listed price.
Typeform. It is the only one of the two that names abandonment analytics as a purchasable feature.
Paperform, for anyone who needs SSO at a price they can read off a page.
Typeform. It sells packaged recruitment and lead-generation tiers that have no Paperform equivalent.
