How we compare
Each comparison puts the free plans side by side, works out what your own team would pay on each product, and explains where the other product is the better choice. There's always a section for that. Every fact about another product comes from its own pricing and help pages, linked at the bottom of the page with the date we checked them. Our own numbers are read straight from the code that bills and enforces them, so they can't drift from what you'd actually pay.
hootform's pitch is simple: unlimited forms and responses on every plan, forms that ask one question at a time, and one price for the whole organization. Where another product does something we don't, such as payments or native integrations, the comparison says so.
Questions people ask
