## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-17 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 your needs are simple and you're already in Google Workspace. Free, everyone already knows how to use it, results dump straight into Sheets. The catch: no payment collection, weak branding, and it looks like a Google Form. For internal surveys, RSVPs, and basic intake, it's hard to justify paying for anything else.
> 
> **2. Jotform** - My default paid pick for most small businesses. It's the widest toolkit at a reasonable price: 40+ payment gateways, HIPAA-compliant forms if you're in healthcare, huge template library, mobile apps. Pricing is the real argument - Bronze at ~$39/mo gets you 1,000 monthly submissions, versus Typeform Basic at ~$29/mo for only 100. That gap matters a lot once you're actually collecting leads.
> 
> **3. Tally** - The best free tier, full stop. Unlimited forms and unlimited submissions on the free plan, Notion-style editor that's genuinely pleasant to use. If you're a solo operator, side business, or early startup, this is where I'd start before spending anything.
> 
> **4. Fillout** - Pick this if your business runs on Airtable, Notion, or Google
