Zoho Forms is a form builder that’s part of the Zoho suite. It integrates well with Zoho CRM, Zoho Desk, and other Zoho products. Fomr is a standalone visual form builder with a drag-and-drop editor, 1700+ fonts, and full design control. Both tools let you create and share forms — the key differences are pricing, design flexibility, and ecosystem dependency.

Why teams switch from Zoho Forms to Fomr
No ecosystem lock-in
Zoho Forms works best within the Zoho suite. Fomr is a standalone form builder that works with any stack — no Zoho account needed, no vendor lock-in.
No form or response caps
Zoho Forms' free plan allows 3 forms and 500 submissions per month. Fomr's free plan has no limits on forms or responses.
Superior design control
Zoho Forms offers basic themes and limited font options. Fomr gives you 1700+ fonts, custom color palettes, background images, and a visual canvas — all free.
Fomr vs Zoho Forms: pricing breakdown
Zoho Forms’ free plan allows 3 forms, 500 submissions per month, and 1 user. The Basic plan unlocks unlimited forms, 10,000 submissions, custom themes, branding, and custom domains. Standard adds 10 users and 25,000 submissions. Professional adds approval workflows with 25 users and 75,000 submissions. Premium supports 100 users and 150,000 submissions. Payment collection is available on all plans (up to 10 payments on free). Zoho Forms pricing is available on their website and varies by billing cycle.
Fomr’s free plan includes unlimited forms, unlimited responses, and full design customization. The Pro plan at $17/month adds custom domains and branding removal.
Zoho Forms’ Basic plan is competitively priced if you just need more forms and submissions within the Zoho ecosystem. If you don’t need Zoho CRM integration, Fomr’s free plan already covers unlimited forms and responses with better design tools.
Fomr vs Zoho Forms: the editor
Zoho Forms has a functional drag-and-drop editor. You drag fields from a sidebar onto the form canvas, configure them via property panels, and arrange layouts with grid controls. It’s capable but can feel dense with options, especially if you don’t need Zoho’s more advanced features like approval workflows or CRM field mapping.
Fomr’s editor focuses on visual simplicity. You place fields on a clean canvas, see the result instantly, and design the layout directly — fonts, colors, spacing, backgrounds — without navigating through multiple panels. It’s faster for teams that care about form appearance and don’t need deep workflow automation.
Fomr vs Zoho Forms: design and customization
Zoho Forms offers theme-based customization: color schemes, basic font options, and header images. The design options are functional but not extensive. Custom branding (logos, removing Zoho branding, custom themes) requires the Basic paid plan.
Fomr provides full design control on the free plan: 1700+ Google Fonts, custom color palettes, background images from Unsplash, custom logos, and complete layout freedom. Your forms can look exactly how you want without paying.
