Free alternatives to Fillout

Tally is the direct fix for Fillout's response cap. The free plan has unlimited forms and unlimited submissions under a fair-use ceiling of roughly 50,000 a month (as of July 2026), around fifty times Fillout's free allowance, and it keeps Stripe payments and e-signatures free. The editor works like a Notion page. The trade is seats and sync: Tally free is single-user, and it does not do Fillout's two-way Airtable and Notion sync.

• Free plan, paid from $24/month (as of July 2026)
• Belgium

Best for:

Solo builders who need far more free responses than 1,000 a month

The catch:

The free plan is single-user where Fillout allows unlimited seats, and there is no two-way Airtable or Notion sync.

forms.app is the pick if you loved Fillout's free seats but hit the response wall. The free plan leaves responses, views and questions uncapped and lets unlimited team members into the account (as of July 2026), so the whole team keeps working without an upgrade. All 30+ field types are free, including payments and e-signatures. The trade is the form count, capped at 5, where Fillout is unlimited.

• Free plan, paid from $19/month (as of July 2026)
• Estonia

Best for:

Teams that want unlimited responses and unlimited seats without paying

The catch:

Five forms is a hard ceiling where Fillout is unlimited, and total file storage is only 10 MB.

Google Forms removes the response cap entirely at no cost: unlimited forms, unlimited responses and automatic Google Sheets export with any Google account (as of July 2026). It is a one-way street to a spreadsheet rather than Fillout's two-way record sync, and it has no payments or scheduling, but for simple data collection it never charges and never caps.

• Completely free (as of July 2026)
• United States

Best for:

Simple surveys and registrations that just need to reach a spreadsheet

The catch:

One-way Sheets export only, with no Airtable or Notion sync, no payments and minimal design.

Fillout's edge is sending answers into Airtable and Notion; NocoDB goes further by making the database itself. Every form is a view on a table, so submissions arrive as structured records you can filter, relate and automate on. The cloud free plan covers 1,000 records with 3 seats, and self-hosting the Community Edition is free with unlimited records and seats (as of July 2026). The forms are basic, though, with no conversational layouts or payments.

• Free plan, paid from $12/month (as of July 2026)

Best for:

Teams that want form data to live in a real database they can host themselves

The catch:

Forms are plain, with no conversational layout, payments or e-signatures, and the cloud free plan caps at 1,000 records.

Youform beats Fillout's free response count outright: unlimited forms and unlimited responses for a single user (as of July 2026), in the one-question-at-a-time layout, with logic, calculations and file uploads. Pro at $20 a month adds payments and custom domains. It loses Fillout's free seats and its Airtable and Notion sync, and the integration list is short.

• Free plan, paid from $20/month (as of July 2026)

Best for:

Solo makers who want unlimited responses and the conversational format

The catch:

The free plan is single-user, so it drops Fillout's unlimited seats, and payments are paid-only.

Jotform is the move for breadth rather than headroom. It brings 150+ integrations, 20,000+ templates, payments, e-signatures and approval workflows that Fillout cannot fully match. The free plan is tighter on volume, though, at 100 submissions a month with form views metered separately (as of July 2026), so you are trading Fillout's 1,000 free responses for a bigger catalog.

• Free plan, paid from $34/month (as of July 2026)
• United States

Best for:

Teams that need a specific integration or template Fillout lacks

The catch:

100 submissions a month is well under Fillout's 1,000 free, and Starter is single-user.

Zoho Forms adds process features Fillout does not emphasize: approval workflows and offline data collection through iOS and Android apps. The free plan runs 3 forms and 500 submissions a month (as of July 2026), so it is tighter on both counts than Fillout, but Basic at $10 a month is a cheap path to unlimited forms and 10,000 submissions. It fits Zoho-suite teams best.

• Free plan, paid from $10/month (as of July 2026)
• India

Best for:

Zoho users and field teams collecting data offline

The catch:

Only 3 forms and 500 submissions a month free, both below Fillout, and integrations favor the Zoho suite.
