Frequently asked questions

Is Fillout cheaper than Jotform?

Yes at almost every tier. Fillout starts at $19/mo with 1,000 free responses; Jotform's comparable plans start higher and cap submissions sooner.

Does Jotform have anything Fillout doesn't?

HIPAA on mid tiers, e-signature and approval workflows, advanced PDF generation, and a far bigger template library.

Which is easier to build with?

Fillout. Its editor is faster and less cluttered, and conditional logic is available without upgrading.

Can I move forms from Jotform to Fillout?

There's no one-click importer, but rebuilding a typical form takes minutes and most teams do it as part of a redesign.
