Every published price in the category

How much of this category is free

7 of 9 offer a free tier (78%), close to the 56% average. Enough of the category is free that it is worth shortlisting on that basis alone.

Per seat or flat

1 of 9 charge per seat (11%). Where that is the model, the entry price is not the price: it is the price of one person. Multiply by your real headcount before comparing anything, and check whether viewers are free — on a team with more readers than writers that distinction can halve the bill.

The ones that will not say

1 tool in this category (Qualtrics) does not publish a price we can verify. Figures circulate for them on comparison sites; none come from the vendor, so we do not average them into anything above.

Where to start

The floor is Fillout at $15, which also has a free tier. Below $28 the category is Fillout at $15, Paperform at $24, Tally at $24. Those are real products, not trials, and for a small team they are usually the right place to start: the expensive tiers in this category buy scale and administration, which are worth paying for once you have the problem and not before.

What the headline price leaves out

An entry price is a plan, not a bill. The caveats we recorded while verifying this category are the ones most likely to change what you actually pay:

• Tally — unchanged; yearly billing gives 2 months free, which is why $24 shows by default
• Typeform — raised from $25; new Growth Flow tier at $266; yearly billing advertised at 30% off monthly
• SurveyMonkey — Team plans need 3 users and annual billing; the individual plan is $99/mo. Verify on surveymonkey.com.
• Jotform — Lower tiers cap forms and submissions; the UI can feel cluttered. Verify current plans on jotform.com.

The free tiers in this category, for the record: Fillout, Google Forms, Jotform, Paperform, SurveyMonkey, Tally, Typeform. Whether each is usable or decorative varies, and the only reliable test is running a real piece of your own work through it before the card comes out.
