Buyers look past Typeform when response caps start to bind, when a team seat costs more than the form is worth, or when they only need a plain questionnaire. Most go to Tally or Jotform for forms, SurveyMonkey or Qualtrics for research, and Formbricks or LimeSurvey when they want to self-host.
Visibility in our rankings can be paid for. Payment moves a vendor's position within
the shortlist; it never adds a vendor, and it never changes a word of the review or of this page. How it works:

What each alternative does differently
1. Tally
Document-style form builder with a generous free tier · Belgium
Form-first like Typeform but priced differently: its pricing page offers unlimited forms and submissions free within fair use, including conditional logic, signatures and file uploads. Pro at 20 euros a month adds custom domains and removes branding. It is a form builder, not a research suite.
Switch from Typeform if you mainly build forms and want branding removal and a custom domain without response caps.
Pricing: Free plan with unlimited forms and responses; Pro at €20 a month and Business at €65 a month, billed monthly or yearly. (free plan)

2. Jotform
Form builder that handles surveys, payments and workflows · United States
A broad form builder with a free Starter plan and Bronze, Silver and Gold tiers whose storage and submission limits rise with each step. Enterprise is priced on request. HIPAA features are excluded from Starter, so regulated forms need a paid plan.
Switch from Typeform if you need payments, approvals and many form types, and want a free tier to test them.
Pricing: Free Starter plan, then Bronze, Silver and Gold tiers priced monthly by submissions and storage; enterprise quoted. (free plan)

3. SurveyMonkey
The familiar general-purpose survey platform · United States
A survey tool rather than a conversational form. Its individual plans list Standard at 39 euros a month billed monthly with 1,000 responses, and Advantage at 36 euros a month billed annually. Team plans start at three users. Strong for classic questionnaires, plainer to look at.
Switch from Typeform if your use is classic questionnaires and analysis, not designed one-question-at-a-time forms.
Pricing: Free Basic plan, individual annual plans, and team plans per user with a three-seat minimum and per-response overage. (free plan)

Switch from Typeform if your forms take payments or bookings and you want a branded page, not a survey.

5. Formbricks
Open-source in-product and website surveys · Germany
Open source, with cloud hosting in Frankfurt and a self-hosting option. Cloud plans run from a free Hobby tier of 250 responses a month to Pro at 74 dollars. It targets in-product and website surveys, so it is thinner on stand-alone shareable forms.
Switch from Typeform if you want to own the survey stack or run surveys inside your product.
Pricing: AGPL core free to self-host, with some features under a paid Enterprise license; cloud plans from a free tier of 250 responses a month to Pro at $74 and Scale at $325 a month, sized by monthly responses. (open source)

Open-source survey platform for research · Germany
A long-running open source survey tool with a hosted service. Its pricing page lists Basic at 34 euros a month billed monthly for one admin and 1,000 responses a month, and Expert at 29 euros a month billed annually. Powerful logic, but a plainer interface than Typeform.

Priced for small teams and part of the Zoho family. The free plan allows 3 active surveys, 10 questions per survey and 100 responses per survey, and paid tiers sit above it. The page offers a 7-day Enterprise trial. Design options are more modest than Typeform's.
Switch from Typeform if you already use Zoho apps and want a low-cost survey tool that connects to them.

9. Qualtrics
Enterprise experience-management and research platform · United States
A research and experience platform, not a form maker. A free account is capped at 500 responses per survey and 3 active surveys, and paid products are sold through a pricing request. It fits research teams and enterprises, and is heavy for a contact form.
Switch from Typeform if you run formal research or experience programs that need governance and advanced analysis.
Pricing: Free account capped at 500 responses per survey; paid products are quote-only, priced by interactions such as survey responses for CX and research, or by employee count for EX, with unlimited users. (free plan)

12. Google Forms
Free basic forms inside Google Workspace · United States
Part of Google Workspace, so there is no separate survey product to buy for teams already on it. It covers simple questionnaires and quizzes. It lacks the designed, one-question-at-a-time look of Typeform, and offers less branding control than paid form builders.
Switch from Typeform if you already pay for Google Workspace and need simple forms with no extra licence.
Pricing: Free with a Google account; included in Google Workspace per-user subscriptions. (free plan)

13. Microsoft Forms
Simple surveys and quizzes inside Microsoft 365 · United States
Sits inside the Microsoft 365 environment, with its own help center and sign-in through a work or school account. It handles polls, quizzes and basic surveys. Typeform's design depth and logic options are not its aim, so it suits internal use best.
Switch from Typeform if you run Microsoft 365 and want internal polls and quizzes under the same sign-in.
Pricing: Included with Microsoft 365 business and education plans; free with a personal Microsoft account. (free plan)
