Why teams switch from Paperform to Fomr
Generous free plan
Paperform's free plan allows just 30 submissions per month with limited features. Fomr's free plan includes unlimited responses and full design customization.
Design features without a paywall
Both Fomr and Paperform care about form aesthetics. The difference: Fomr makes all design features free. On Paperform, custom fonts and CSS require the Pro plan ($59/month).
Simpler pricing
Paperform has Free, Pro ($59/month), Business ($149/month), and custom-priced Enterprise plans. Fomr has two: Free (unlimited) and Pro ($24/month). One paid plan for custom domains and branding removal.
Two design-first tools, different editors
Both Paperform and Fomr are built for people who care about how their forms look. The difference is the editing approach.
Paperform uses a document-style editor where you type content and insert form fields inline. It feels like writing a blog post with embedded form elements. This works especially well for long-form pages that combine text, images, and form fields, like product pages or detailed registration flows.
Fomr uses a visual drag-and-drop canvas. You place form fields on the page, arrange layouts visually, and see the result in real time. It’s more focused on form building specifically, with precise control over field placement, spacing, and page structure.
Both editors produce good-looking results. Paperform’s document approach is better for content-heavy pages. Fomr’s canvas approach is better for structured forms with controlled layouts.
Is Paperform free? Pricing and free-plan limits
Yes. Paperform Free includes 30 submissions per month, unlimited forms and users, and 100 MB of upload storage. It keeps Paperform branding. Paid plans have unlimited submissions subject to fair use.
| Paperform plan | Monthly billing | Annual billing, per month | Upload storage | Branding and domains |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | $0 | 100 MB | Branding retained; no custom domain |
| Pro | $59 | $49 ($588/year) | 10 GB | Branding removed; domain costs $20/month extra |
| Business | $149 | $124 ($1,488/year) | 100 GB | Branding removed; one domain included |
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 $24/month. Prices are in USD before applicable taxes.
What would 500 responses on your own domain cost?
Paperform Pro plus one domain is $79/month ($59 + $20), while Fomr Pro is $24/month. Fomr Free handles the same response volume if you keep its badge and hosted URL. Paperform also includes payments, document signing, and automation allowances; compare those needs before replacing an existing workflow.

Fomr vs Paperform: design
Both Fomr and Paperform are design-focused form builders. Paperform offers customizable themes, background images, custom fonts, and the ability to create branded form pages. Basic media and design options are available on Free; advanced themes and custom CSS require Pro.
Fomr’s design toolkit is available on the free plan. You get access to 1,700+ fonts, custom color palettes, background images from Unsplash, custom logos, and complete layout control. Free and Pro forms look the same aside from a small “Powered by Fomr” badge.
The design quality is comparable between the two. The difference is access: Paperform gates advanced design features (custom fonts, custom CSS) behind the Pro plan at $59/month. Fomr makes them all free.
Fomr vs Paperform: logic and calculations
Both tools include conditional logic on their free plans. Paperform’s Calculation field and scoring need Pro ($59/mo), while Fomr’s calculated values are free, so you can build a quote form or a scored quiz without upgrading.
Paperform includes simple redirects on its free plan. In Fomr, multiple endings and redirects on completion are part of Pro ($24/mo).
