## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-10 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> Here's who I'd actually name, roughly in the order I'd bring them up:
> 
> **1. Tally** - My default recommendation for most small businesses. It's the only major builder with genuinely unlimited forms and unlimited submissions on the free plan, and it doesn't paywall the things you actually need: conditional logic, calculations, file uploads, e-signatures, payments, and integrations with Google Sheets, Notion, Airtable, and Zapier. Pro is $24/mo if you want to remove branding and use a custom domain. Start here, and only leave if you hit a specific wall. ([tally.so/pricing](https://www.tally.so/pricing))
> 
> **2. Jotform** - The one to pick when you need breadth: 40+ payment gateways, HIPAA-compliant forms, mobile apps, a huge template library, and approval workflows. The catch is metered submissions - free Starter is 100/mo, Bronze ~$34/mo for 1,000, Silver ~$39/mo for 2,500 - and forms stop accepting entries when you hit the cap. Good for operational teams (intake, scheduling, orders), overkill for a contact form.
