> # Best form builders for small businesses
> 
> Here's what I'd actually recommend, in order:
> 
> **1. Tally - start here if you're cost-sensitive.** It's the only major builder with genuinely unlimited forms *and* unlimited submissions on the free plan (subject to a vaguely defined "fair use" policy), and it includes things everyone else paywalls: conditional logic, file uploads, e-signatures, calculations, integrations. Reviewers note ~90% of features are in the free tier. For a small business that needs lead forms, intake forms, and RSVPs without a line item on the P&L, this is the default pick.
> 
> **2. Jotform - the best all-rounder once you need to pay.** Widest toolkit in the category: 40+ payment gateways, HIPAA-compliant forms (relevant if you're in healthcare/wellness), native mobile apps, huge template library. Paid plans run $39/mo (Bronze), $49/mo (Silver), $129/mo (Gold). Worth knowing the free plan is tight - 5 forms, 100 submissions/month account-wide, and only 10 payment submissions - so it's a trial, not a home. At 1,000 responses/month it's about half of Typeform's cost.
> 
> **3. Google Forms - if you're already in Google Workspace and don't need branding or payments.** Free,
