Overview

Jotform is a online form builder with 10,000+ templates, payments, e-signatures, and approval workflows. It handles templates, payments, e-signatures, and pdf reports, and it's best suited for businesses wanting forms with payment processing and workflows. It has been around since 2006, giving it a 20-year head start in building out integrations and refining the product.

The free plan is free for 5 forms — enough for most people to evaluate whether it fits.

Strengths

  • Huge template library covers social media, presentations, marketing materials, and more
  • Includes Payments as a core feature, purpose-built for form builder workflows
  • Free for 5 forms — generous enough for most small teams to get real work done
  • Established product with 20+ years on the market and a mature ecosystem

Weaknesses

  • Free plan exists but key features are locked behind the paid upgrade
  • Fewer built-in features means you may need additional tools to cover gaps
  • Ecosystem of third-party integrations is smaller than the market leaders in form builder
  • Mobile experience lags behind the desktop version in features and polish
