Forms & Surveys
Collect responses from users. Browse the 5 parent tools below — each has a dedicated page with up to 10 indie or bootstrapped alternatives, plus pricing, founders, and where applicable, open-source flags.
Typeform invented the conversational form and then priced it for enterprises. The indie alternatives — Tally, Fillout, FormBricks — kept the design quality and dropped the price floor by 10×. For most teams, a single contact form, a customer survey and a job application are the entire 'forms' surface — and that's a $10/mo problem, not a $99/mo one.
What to look for
- Webhooks + Zapier coverage from the free tier
- Conditional logic without bumping a plan
- File uploads that store somewhere you control (R2, S3) — not a vendor silo
- Embed options: full-page, popup, and inline, all from the same form
Common gotchas
- Submission caps that don't roll over month-to-month
- Branding removal counted as a paid feature for tiny use cases
- Spam protection that requires a separate hCaptcha account
