Which form builder is best for UK GDPR compliance?
Jotform and Typeform both offer EU data residency and a signed data processing agreement, which simplifies your record of processing activities. Fillout stores responses in the US by default, so a UK controller handling special category data should check the transfer position before using it for that purpose.
Can these forms collect payments in pounds?
Yes. Fillout, Jotform and Typeform all integrate with Stripe, which settles in GBP to a UK bank account. Jotform additionally supports a wider set of gateways including GoCardless-style direct debit through third-party connections — useful for UK subscription and membership billing.
Do I need a cookie banner on an embedded form?
If the embedded form sets analytics or marketing cookies, yes — UK PECR requires consent before those are set. A plain form that only stores the submission itself does not need a banner, but it does need a privacy notice explaining what you collect and why.
What do these cost in pounds?
At current rates Fillout starts near £15/month, Typeform near £20/month and Jotform near £27/month. All three bill in US dollars and add 20% UK VAT unless you supply a VAT number, and your bank will add a non-sterling fee of roughly 2–3%.
Is there a free option good enough for a small UK charity or club?
Fillout's free tier is the most capable — conditional logic, native Notion and Airtable writing, and no response cap tight enough to bite a small organisation. Jotform's free tier is more limited but includes the templates and PDF output that grant and membership paperwork tends to need.
