Hello Forms Jotform

Jotform prices shown are their published annual-billing rates (Bronze $34, Silver $39, Gold $99 per month). Enterprise is sales-quoted with no public price; reported deals commonly start around $5,000 per year and reach $5,000+ per month for large white-labeled deployments, so the modelled figure here is deliberately conservative.

Estimates only. Jotform figures use their published annual-billing prices; multi-seat and white-label needs are modelled at the low end of reported enterprise quotes because that tier is sales-gated. Your quote may differ.

The detail behind the table

Transparent pricing vs. opaque enterprise costs

Jotform's enterprise tier is sold through a custom sales quote, so what you pay depends on the negotiation rather than a published number. Buyer-reported figures start around $5,000–$9,500+ per year and reach $5,000+ per month for large white-labeled, SSO-enabled deployments. Hello Forms publishes every price: Enterprise is $189/mo with white-labeling, custom domains, SSO and unlimited seats included. No quote calls, no renewal uplift you didn't see coming.

$189/mo published vs. $5,000+ reported enterprise quotes

Fair submission scaling

Legacy tools tend to stop accepting responses the moment a monthly cap is reached, so the campaign you paid to run quietly stops collecting data. Hello Forms shows live quota usage, forecasts when you'll hit the limit based on your current run rate, and alerts you at the thresholds you choose — so you upgrade deliberately instead of losing responses first.

Live usage, forecasting and configurable alerts on every plan

Modern architecture

Hello Forms was built recently on a modern React stack, with no decade of legacy code to carry. That shows up as a builder that loads instantly, forms that render fast on mobile, and an editor that behaves the way you expect: drag-and-drop, undo/redo, autosave and real-time preview across device presets.

Instant builder load, mobile-first rendering

Switching takes an afternoon

You don't have to migrate everything at once. Move your highest-volume form first, keep the old one live until the new link is proven, then repeat.

  1. 1. Export your responses

    Download existing submissions as CSV from your current tool so nothing is lost. Hello Forms keeps CSV export on every plan, including the free Starter tier, so your data stays portable both ways.

  2. 2. Rebuild the form

    Describe the form in a sentence and let prompt-to-form generate the fields, or start from one of the 100s of editable templates. Match your branding in the theme designer — colors, logo, cover image and custom CSS.

  3. 3. Swap the link

    Publish, test with a shareable preview link, then point your website button, email campaign or QR code at the new URL. Turn on notifications and autoresponders so your team keeps getting alerts on day one.

Stuck mid-migration? Email hello@helloforms.net and we'll help you rebuild your first forms.
