> 
> **1. Jotform** - my default recommendation for most small businesses. It does the widest range of real business jobs out of the box: payment collection (30+ gateways), e-signatures, approval workflows, PDF generation, and HIPAA compliance on the Gold tier. The 10,000+ template library means you rarely start from a blank page. Billing is by monthly submission - roughly $234/yr for 1,000/mo, $294/yr for 2,500/mo, $774/yr for 10,000/mo plus HIPAA. If you only buy one form tool, this is the one that won't hit a wall.

> **2. Tally** - the best free option, full stop, and genuinely good enough to be someone's permanent answer. Unlimited forms and unlimited responses on the free plan, including Stripe payments, e-signatures, conditional logic, and native Notion/Google Sheets/Airtable sync. Pro is $29/mo for custom branding and CSS. If your budget is $0 or you just want contact forms, intake, and waitlists working today, start here and don't overthink it.
> 
> **3. Google Forms** - $0 at any volume, no response cap, no per-seat charge, and it lands straight in Sheets. It's ugly and it can't take payments, but for internal data collection, event RSVPs,
