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.

Zoho Forms and Fomr: common questions

How does Fomr's free plan compare to Zoho Forms?

Zoho Forms’ free plan allows 3 forms, 500 submissions per month, 200 MB storage, and 1 user. Payment collection is available (up to 10 payments). Fomr’s free plan includes unlimited forms, unlimited responses, and unlimited team members. If you need more than 3 forms or want no submission caps, Fomr’s free plan is more generous.

Should I use Zoho Forms if I already use Zoho products?

If your team is heavily invested in Zoho’s ecosystem (Zoho CRM, Zoho Desk, Zoho Analytics), Zoho Forms’ built-in integrations are hard to beat. Fomr is a better choice if you want a standalone form builder with superior design tools and don’t need deep Zoho-specific integrations.

Can I switch from Zoho Forms to Fomr?

There is no automated import tool, but Fomr’s drag-and-drop editor lets you recreate Zoho Forms quickly. Fomr supports all standard form field types and offers more design flexibility than Zoho Forms’ editor.

Is Fomr free to use?

Yes, Fomr has a free plan that includes unlimited forms, unlimited responses, unlimited team members, 25+ form components, design customization, email notifications, and more. The Pro plan adds features like custom domains, removal of Fomr branding, and SEO controls.
