## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-07 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. Google Forms** - Start here if you're not sure. Free, zero learning curve, answers dump straight into Sheets. It's genuinely enough for internal surveys, RSVPs, quizzes, and basic contact/intake forms. Its limits are real though: no payments, weak branding, clunky conditional logic. Paid tiers only exist as part of Workspace ($7-$22/user/month).
> 
> **2. Tally** - The best free option if Google Forms looks too plain. Unlimited forms *and* unlimited submissions on the free plan, with conditional logic, file uploads, signatures, and calculations included - things most competitors paywall. Notion-style editor, so it feels like writing a doc. This is my default pick for a small business watching cash.
> 
> **3. Jotform** - The workhorse. Pick this when you need the widest toolkit: 40+ payment gateways, HIPAA-compliant forms, approval workflows, native mobile apps, and a huge template library. Pricing runs $0-$129/month (Bronze at $39/mo covers 1,000 submissions/month), and it's generally better value per submission than Typeform for data-heavy use.
> 
> **4. Typeform** - Choose it when the form *is* the market
