Typeform is well-known for its sleek, conversational interface and engaging surveys, making it a popular choice for businesses that want to create a memorable user experience. However, if you’re looking for a more flexible, cost-effective solution—one that fits your workflow without unnecessary restrictions - Form-Data stands out as a powerful alternative.
Form-Data lets you build forms your way: using our simple form builder, declarative .fd files, or by connecting your own HTML forms directly to our backend. Unlike Typeform, you pay only for valid submissions, not for spam or unused features. With unlimited forms and fields, advanced spam protection, and a wide range of integrations, Form-Data is designed for both creators and developers who want more control and fewer surprises.
