## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-09-22 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> Here's how I'd rank them for a typical small business:
> 
> **1. Tally** - My default recommendation for most small businesses. The free tier is genuinely unlimited forms and unlimited submissions (under fair-use), including conditional logic, file uploads, and signatures - things competitors gate behind $30-80/month plans. It's Notion-style editing, so it's fast to build in. Pro is $29/mo if you want custom branding/CSS. Start here and only move if you hit a specific wall.
> 
> **2. Jotform** - The workhorse when you need forms to *do* things: take payments, collect e-signatures, run approval workflows, and integrate with everything. Huge template library. Pricing is by monthly submissions (roughly $234/yr for 1,000/mo up to $774/yr for 10,000/mo, with HIPAA on the Gold tier). Best pick for service businesses doing intake, bookings, or client onboarding.
> 
> **3. Google Forms** - If you're already on Google Workspace and just need to collect data internally, stop overthinking it. Free at any volume, no response caps, no per-seat cost, auto-pipes to Sheets. It's ugly and has no payment/logic depth, but for internal use that rarely matters.
> 
> **4. Fillout** - Worth a look if you want modern UX

Answer Watch records what one AI answer engine said on one date, nothing more. Each page names the engine and the model, carries the date the question was asked, and lists the brands that appeared in the answer in the order the engine gave them, with the sources it cited. It is a measurement, not a ranking, not a recommendation and not a claim about the world. Brands that did not appear in an answer are not named on any public page.
