## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-09-24 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> Here's what I'd actually recommend, roughly in the order I'd suggest trying them:
> 
> **1. Tally - start here if you want free.** Unlimited forms and unlimited responses on the free tier, including conditional logic, file uploads, payments (Stripe), and signatures. The editor works like a Notion doc - type `/` to add a field - so there's basically no learning curve. Catch: Tally branding until you pay (~$29/mo), and integrations get creaky in complex automation chains. For most small businesses collecting leads, bookings, or intake info, this is the highest value-per-dollar option by a wide margin.

> 
> **2. Jotform - the workhorse if you need payments, HIPAA, or a template for everything.** Widest template library (thousands), in-form payment processing with ~30 gateways, PDF generation, approval routing. Pricing is by monthly submissions: roughly Bronze $234/yr for 1,000/mo, Silver $294/yr for 2,500/mo, Gold $774/yr for 10,000/mo (HIPAA lands at Gold). Steeper learning curve than Tally because there's so much in it. ([revolgy comparison](https://www.revolgy.com/insights
