## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-12 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> Here's what I'd actually recommend, roughly in the order I'd try them:
> 
> **1. Tally** - My default suggestion for most small businesses. It's the only major builder with unlimited forms *and* unlimited submissions on the free plan (subject to a fair-use policy), and the free tier includes conditional logic, file uploads, e-signatures, and integrations - things competitors paywall. Notion-style editor, so you basically type your form. Pro is $29/mo if you need to remove branding or add collaborators. Start here; only leave if you hit a specific wall.

> 
> **2. Jotform** - The best value once you're doing real volume or need operational muscle. Bronze is ~$39/mo for 1,000 submissions/month (or ~$19.50/mo billed annually on their entry tier), it supports 40+ payment gateways, HIPAA-compliant forms, and has solid mobile apps. If you're taking payments, handling PHI, or need a huge template library, this is the pick.

> 
> **3.
