Jotform is one of the most established form builders, known for its large template library and wide range of integrations. Fomr is a visual form builder with a drag-and-drop editor and design-first approach. Jotform has more features and integrations overall, but its free Starter plan is capped at five forms and 100 monthly submissions. Fomr’s free plan includes unlimited forms and responses.

Why teams switch from Jotform to Fomr
No form or response limits
Jotform's free plan caps you at 5 forms and 100 monthly submissions. Fomr doesn't impose limits on either. Build as many forms as you need and collect as many responses as you get.
Design from scratch, not from a template
Jotform relies on templates and theme-based customization. Fomr gives you a visual canvas with 1,700+ fonts, custom colors, and backgrounds so you can design from scratch.
Simpler, cheaper pricing
Jotform's Bronze plan costs $39/month on month-to-month billing. Fomr Pro costs $34/month and includes custom domains and branding removal.
Jotform’s template library vs. Fomr’s visual editor
Jotform’s biggest strength is its 20,000+ template library. If you need a standard form for a common use case (job applications, event registrations, order forms), you can find one and have it running in minutes. Fomr has form templates too, though not at that scale.
Where Fomr wins is what happens after you pick a starting point. Fomr’s canvas editor lets you place fields wherever you want, adjust spacing and typography, and see the final result as you work. Jotform’s editor can feel cluttered, especially with its extensive sidebar of widgets. If you want a specific look and feel rather than a generic template, Fomr gives you more room to work.
Is Jotform free? Pricing and free-plan limits
Yes. Jotform Starter is a free plan with 5 forms and 100 submissions per month. It also limits total stored submissions to 500 and file storage to 100 MB. These are separate limits: staying below the monthly allowance does not prevent you from filling your storage. Starter forms retain Jotform branding.
| Jotform plan | Monthly billing | Annual billing, per month | Forms | Submissions/month | File storage |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Starter | $0 | $0 | 5 | 100 | 100 MB |
| Bronze | $39 | $34 ($408/year) | 25 | 1,000 | 1 GB |
| Silver | $49 | $39 ($468/year) | 50 | 2,500 | 10 GB |
| Gold | $129 | $99 ($1,188/year) | 100 | 10,000 | 100 GB |
Paid plans remove branding. Enterprise has custom pricing for multiuser access and custom domains. Payment submissions have separate allowances.
Fomr Free includes unlimited forms, responses, and team members, plus 100 MB of storage shared by uploads and form assets. Fomr Pro adds branding removal, custom domains, and 10 GB of storage for $34/month, or $24/month billed yearly ($288/year). Prices are in USD before applicable taxes.
What would 10 forms and 500 responses cost?
For ordinary contact and registration forms, Jotform Bronze covers this volume at $39/month; Fomr Free covers it at $0 with the Fomr badge. Removing that badge requires Fomr Pro at $34/month. Jotform remains the better fit when the workflow needs its payment collection, approval chains, or integrations that Fomr does not yet provide.

Fomr vs Jotform: the editor
Jotform offers two editor modes: a drag-and-drop Classic Form builder and a card-based one-question-at-a-time layout. The Classic builder is functional but can feel dense with options, especially with Jotform’s extensive sidebar of widgets.
Fomr’s editor is a clean visual canvas. You place form fields directly on the page, adjust layouts, and see the result instantly. There’s no sidebar clutter. For teams that prefer starting from a blank canvas and designing their own layouts, Fomr’s editor is more streamlined.
Jotform’s advantage is breadth: more field types, more widgets, more templates. Fomr’s advantage is simplicity and design control.
Fomr vs Jotform: design
Jotform’s design approach is template-driven. You pick from thousands of templates and customize colors, fonts, and layouts within that template’s structure. The theme system provides reasonable customization, but you’re working within the framework of a pre-built design.
Fomr works from a blank canvas. The design toolkit is available on the free plan: 1,700+ fonts to choose from, custom color settings, background images from Unsplash, and control over spacing and layout. You build the form you want rather than adapting a template.
If you want a quick start from a template, Jotform is faster. If you want control over every visual detail, Fomr gives you more room.
