Pick Jotform when
you need a very specific widget or integration from its large catalogue and a few forms with modest traffic will do.
A huge form builder with thousands of templates, widgets and integrations. It has been around for years and covers almost every kind of form.
Pick Formkit when
you need more than five forms or a hundred answers a month without paying, or a team working on the same forms.
A complete workspace for designing the form, shaping the journey, and using what comes back. Free to start.

Questions people ask
Is Formkit as big as Jotform?
No. Jotform has far more widgets, templates and integrations. Formkit covers the forms most teams run and keeps the builder simpler.
Why does the response limit matter?
Jotform's free Starter plan allows 100 submissions a month across 5 active forms. Formkit's free plan has no cap on forms or responses.
Can I take payments on the free plan?
Not on Formkit. Payments through your own Stripe account are on Pro. Jotform lets you take a small number of payments on its free plan.
Can I move my Jotform forms across?
Yes. Paste the form’s link on this page and Formkit imports it as a draft you can edit.
Choose the tool that fits the job. Choose Formkit when the form is part of how people see you.
