OUR REVIEW OF TYPEFORM IN SUMMARY
Review by our Expert – Romain Cochard CEO of Hack’celeration
Overall rating
Typeform positions itself as a premium form solution that prioritizes user experience over raw functionality. We particularly appreciate the conversational interface and design flexibility which consistently deliver higher completion rates than traditional forms. It’s a tool we recommend without hesitation for lead generation, customer feedback, and event registration where form abandonment is costly. However, the pricing becomes steep for high-volume usage compared to alternatives like Fillout.
Ease of use
Typeform is one of the most intuitive form builders we’ve tested. Drag-and-drop interface, form creation in under 10 minutes, templates that actually work out of the box. Even our non-technical clients build professional forms independently after a 30-minute walkthrough. The logic jumps are visual and simple to configure. The only minor friction: advanced features like hidden fields require digging into documentation, but honestly that’s nitpicking for 95% of use cases.
Value for money
Let’s be blunt: Typeform is expensive for what it delivers. €25/month for just 100 responses on the Basic plan is hard to justify when Tally offers unlimited forms completely free. We understand you’re paying for the UX and branding removal, but hitting the response limit mid-campaign stings. At 1,000 responses/month you’re already at €55 for Plus, and Business at €89/month for 10,000 responses positions this firmly as a premium tool. The conversion boost is real, but ROI depends heavily on your lead value.
Features and depth
Feature-wise, Typeform delivers everything needed for professional data collection. One-question-at-a-time flow, conditional logic, custom branding, hidden fields, calculation fields, file uploads, payment collection via Stripe. The promise of 3.5x more responses isn’t marketing fluff, we’ve seen 40-60% completion rates vs 15-20% on Google Forms. Logic jumps work flawlessly, design customization is deep without being overwhelming. What’s missing? Native CRM features and advanced analytics require integrations, but the core form experience is best-in-class.
Customer support and assistance
Support responds within 24-48h by email on paid plans, knowledge base is comprehensive with video tutorials and use case examples. We contacted support twice: once for a Zapier integration issue (resolved in 36h), once for a billing question (same day). Community forum is active with real solutions. Only limitation: no live chat on Basic and Plus plans, which can be frustrating when you’re stuck mid-campaign. Priority support on Business plan makes a difference, but that responsiveness should be standard at €55/month.
Available integrations
Typeform connects seamlessly with 100+ business-critical tools via native integrations and Zapier. We tested connections with Calendly for booking, Slack for notifications, Stripe for payments, Klaviyo for email marketing, Intercom for support, and CallRail for call tracking. All worked flawlessly without coding. Webhooks available for custom integrations, API well-documented. The integration marketplace is clean and searchable. Only caveat: some advanced integrations require Business plan, which feels like artificial limitation given the tool’s premium pricing.
Test Typeform – Our Review on Ease of use
We tested Typeform in real conditions across 15+ client projects, and it’s genuinely one of the most user-friendly form builders available. Creating your first form takes under 10 minutes with their template library spanning lead gen, surveys, quizzes, registrations, and more.
The drag-and-drop builder is intuitive without being simplistic. Adding question types (multiple choice, rating scales, file uploads, payment fields) is instant. What really shines is the logic jump configuration: instead of complex IF/THEN rules, you visually connect questions based on answers. We trained a marketing intern to build multi-step conditional forms in under an hour, no technical background required.
The one-question-at-a-time interface isn’t just aesthetic, it fundamentally changes user behavior. Instead of overwhelming respondents with a wall of fields, Typeform guides them conversationally. We’ve measured 40-60% completion rates versus 15-20% on traditional Google Forms for the same questions. That engagement boost alone justifies the learning curve, though honestly there barely is one.
Only minor friction point: advanced features like hidden fields for UTM tracking, custom variables, and calculation fields require reading documentation. The interface doesn’t make these obvious, you need to know they exist. But for 95% of standard forms (lead gen, feedback, registration), you’ll never need to leave the visual builder.
Verdict: Excellent for anyone who values design and completion rates over raw functionality. If you’re building forms for others to fill (customers, leads, employees), Typeform’s UX is unmatched. The free trial lets you test without commitment, and honestly most users are convinced within the first form they build.
➕ Pros / ➖ Cons
✅ Visual logic jumps (no code required for conditional flows)
✅ Templates that work (50+ pre-built for every use case)
✅ 10-minute setup (from account to published form)
✅ Mobile-optimized by default (responsive without configuration)
❌ Hidden fields not obvious (advanced features require documentation)
❌ Template customization (can feel restrictive for brand-specific design)
❌ Steep response limits (100/month on Basic feels constraining)
Test Typeform: Our Review on Value for money
Let’s talk money, because Typeform’s pricing is where opinions diverge. Basic starts at €25/month for 100 responses, Plus at €55/month for 1,000 responses, Business at €89/month for 10,000 responses, and Enterprise is custom quoted. All plans include unlimited typeforms, which sounds generous until you hit your response cap mid-campaign.
100 responses/month on Basic is restrictive. If you’re running lead gen forms with decent traffic, you’ll burn through that in days. We had a client hit the limit in 48 hours during a product launch, which meant turning away leads until the next billing cycle. Plus at €55/month for 1,000 responses is more realistic for SMBs, but competitors like Tally offer unlimited responses completely free, and Google Forms is free with no limits whatsoever.
What you’re paying for: the conversational UX, branding removal, logic jumps, and conversion optimization. That 3.5x completion rate claim isn’t fluff, we’ve validated it across multiple projects. If your average lead value is €50+ and you’re converting 40% of form visitors instead of 15%, the €55/month pays for itself instantly. But if you’re collecting low-value data (surveys, feedback, event RSVPs), the math gets harder to justify.
Business at €89/month adds priority support, custom branding, and advanced integrations. For agencies managing multiple clients, the 5-user limit and 10,000 responses make sense. Enterprise pricing is opaque but includes volume discounts, dedicated account management, and HIPAA compliance for healthcare clients. We’d estimate €200-500/month minimum based on conversations with their sales team.
Verdict: Premium pricing justified only if conversion rates matter to your bottom line. For lead generation where each form completion has real revenue attached, Typeform delivers ROI. For generic data collection or high-volume surveys, competitors offer 80% of the functionality at 0-20% of the cost.
➕ Pros / ➖ Cons
✅ Unlimited typeforms (no artificial limits on form creation)
✅ Branding removal (even on Basic plan, professional appearance)
✅ Monthly billing (no annual lock-in required)
✅ Free trial available (test before committing)
❌ Response limits hurt (100/month too low, overages cost extra)
❌ Expensive vs free alternatives (Tally, Google Forms offer similar basics)
❌ No refunds (if you exceed responses, you pay regardless)
Test Typeform – Our Review on Features and depth
Typeform’s core promise is 3.5x more data through conversion-optimized forms, and after testing across 15+ projects, we can confirm the claim holds up. The one-question-at-a-time interface fundamentally changes user behavior, reducing form abandonment from 80% (traditional long forms) to 40-50% (Typeform’s conversational flow).
Key features we actually use: conditional logic for personalized question paths, hidden fields for UTM tracking and attribution, calculation fields for quiz scoring and pricing calculators, file uploads for job applications, payment collection via Stripe for paid registrations. The logic builder is visual and intuitive, no spreadsheet formulas or coding required. We built a 20-question lead qualification form with 8 conditional branches in under 30 minutes.
The design system is powerful without being overwhelming. Custom colors, fonts, backgrounds, button styles, and layout tweaks give you brand control without requiring a designer. Templates for lead generation, customer feedback, event registration, quiz, and survey cover 90% of use cases out of the box. The question library includes 30+ field types: multiple choice, rating scales, opinion scales, yes/no, short/long text, email, phone, dropdown, file upload, payment, appointment booking.
What’s missing compared to enterprise form builders? Native CRM functionality (you need Make or integrations), advanced analytics beyond basic completion rates (no heatmaps or session recordings), team collaboration features on lower plans (comments, version history limited to Business+). If you need those, you’re looking at Jotform Enterprise or building custom.
Verdict: Best-in-class for consumer-facing forms where completion rate directly impacts revenue. The feature set perfectly balances power and simplicity. If you’re collecting leads, feedback, or registrations from external audiences, Typeform’s UX advantage is unmatched.
➕ Pros / ➖ Cons
✅ Conversational UX (40-60% completion vs 15-20% traditional forms)
✅ Visual logic builder (complex conditional flows without code)
✅ 30+ question types (covers every data collection scenario)
✅ Payment collection (Stripe integration for paid forms)
❌ No native CRM (requires integrations for contact management)
❌ Basic analytics (completion rate only, no behavioral insights)
❌ Limited team features (collaboration requires Business plan)
Test Typeform: Our Review on Customer support and assistance
We contacted Typeform support twice over 6 months of active usage: once for a Zapier integration bug (data not syncing to Google Sheets), once for a billing question about response limit overages. Both times support responded within 24-48 hours by email with actionable solutions, not generic troubleshooting scripts.
The knowledge base is comprehensive with 200+ articles covering setup, features, integrations, and troubleshooting. Video tutorials walk through common scenarios (logic jumps, payment forms, appointment booking) which is helpful for visual learners. The search function actually works, unlike many SaaS help centers where you’re better off Googling.
Community forum is active with 10k+ users sharing templates, workarounds, and feature requests. We found solutions to edge cases (custom CSS for button styling, webhook payload formatting) that weren’t in official docs. Typeform staff actively participate, which creates a collaborative problem-solving environment rather than users screaming into the void.
The frustration: no live chat on Basic and Plus plans. When you’re stuck mid-campaign with a form not triggering integrations correctly, waiting 24-48h for email support hurts. Business plan gets priority support with faster response times, but at €89/month that should be standard, not a premium feature. For comparison, Tally offers community support for free and Jotform has live chat on all paid plans.
Verdict: Good but not exceptional support that matches the premium pricing. Email responsiveness is solid, documentation is thorough, but lack of live chat on sub-€100/month plans feels like artificial restriction. If support is critical to your workflow, budget for Business plan or accept the 24-48h email turnaround.
➕ Pros / ➖ Cons
✅ 24-48h email response (actual humans, not bots)
✅ Comprehensive knowledge base (200+ articles with video tutorials)
✅ Active community forum (10k+ users sharing solutions)
✅ Priority support available (Business plan upgrade option)
❌ No live chat (on Basic and Plus plans under €89/month)
❌ Slow for urgent issues (24-48h turnaround when form is broken)
❌ Phone support only Enterprise (voice contact requires custom plan)
Test Typeform – Our Review on Available integrations
Typeform connects seamlessly with 100+ business-critical tools through native integrations, Zapier, webhooks, and a well-documented API. We tested integrations across multiple categories and all performed flawlessly without coding or technical setup beyond OAuth authentication and field mapping.
Key integrations we actively use: Calendly for appointment booking (form submission triggers calendar availability), Slack for instant notifications (new lead alert to sales channel), Stripe for payment collection (paid event registration), Klaviyo for email marketing (form data syncs to subscriber lists), Intercom for support (feedback forms create tickets), CallRail for call tracking (form includes phone callback scheduling). All of these are one-click native integrations that take under 5 minutes to configure.
The Zapier connection unlocks 5,000+ additional integrations covering CRMs (HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive), project management (Asana, Trello, Monday), spreadsheets (Google Sheets, Airtable, Excel), email (Gmail, Outlook, Mailchimp), and pretty much any SaaS tool you’re using. We built a lead qualification workflow that scores responses, updates Google Sheets, creates HubSpot contacts, and sends Slack notifications, all automated through Zapier.
For developers, webhooks fire JSON payloads on form submission, enabling custom integrations with internal systems. The API supports programmatic form creation, response retrieval, and analytics, which is useful for agencies managing dozens of client forms. Documentation is clear with code examples in multiple languages.
Only limitation: some advanced integrations (bidirectional sync, custom data transformations) require Business plan or higher. For example, syncing Typeform responses back to update Airtable records requires Business, while simple one-way data flow works on Plus. This feels like artificial tiering given the premium pricing.
Verdict: Excellent integration ecosystem that connects Typeform to your entire business stack. Whether you need simple Zapier automation or custom API development, the options are there. The native integration library covers 90% of common use cases without third-party middleware.
➕ Pros / ➖ Cons
✅ 100+ native integrations (Calendly, Slack, Stripe, Klaviyo, Intercom)
✅ Zapier support (5,000+ additional connections available)
✅ Webhooks and API (custom integrations for developers)
✅ One-click setup (OAuth auth, no coding required)
❌ Advanced integrations paywalled (bidirectional sync requires Business plan)
❌ Zapier costs extra (not included in Typeform subscription)
❌ API rate limits (enterprise volume requires custom plan)
FAQ – EVERYTHING ABOUT TYPEFORM
Is Typeform really free?
No, Typeform does not offer a truly free forever plan anymore. They have a limited free trial that lets you test the tool for 14 days with access to most features but watermarked branding. After that, you must upgrade to a paid plan starting at €25/month for Basic. The free trial includes 10 responses only, which is enough to build and test a form but not to run actual campaigns. If you need a permanently free form builder with similar functionality, look at Tally (unlimited free forms) or Google Forms (free but basic features).
How much does Typeform cost per month?
Typeform paid plans start at €25/month for Basic (100 responses, 1 user), €55/month for Plus (1,000 responses, 3 users), and €89/month for Business (10,000 responses, 5 users). Enterprise pricing is custom quoted based on volume and features, typically starting around €200-500/month. All plans include unlimited typeforms, branding removal, and logic jumps. The main difference is response limits and team size. Be aware that exceeding your response limit costs extra or blocks new submissions until the next billing cycle.
Does Typeform slow down my website?
No, Typeform has minimal impact on website performance when embedded properly. The embed script loads asynchronously at around 150KB, which is lightweight compared to most SaaS tools. We tested embed performance on 8 client sites using Google PageSpeed Insights and saw no score degradation. However, embedding via iframe is heavier than using the popup or slider format. For best performance, use the native embed code rather than third-party iframe plugins. If page speed is critical, consider using Typeform's hosted link instead of embedding directly.
Can you use Typeform on WordPress?
Yes, Typeform integrates seamlessly with WordPress through multiple methods. The easiest is using their official WordPress plugin which adds an embed block to the Gutenberg editor. You can also manually embed forms using the provided iframe code or JavaScript snippet in any page/post. For advanced users, the Elementor and Divi page builders have native Typeform widgets. We've deployed Typeform on 12+ WordPress sites with zero technical issues. Setup takes under 5 minutes regardless of method.
Is Typeform GDPR compliant?
Yes, Typeform is GDPR compliant and offers data processing agreements (DPA) for EU customers. They provide tools for respondent consent management, data deletion requests, and data export. Typeform is hosted on AWS infrastructure with data centers in Frankfurt (EU) and Virginia (US), with EU customers' data stored exclusively in EU regions. However, you're responsible for implementing GDPR-compliant form design (consent checkboxes, privacy policy links, clear data usage explanations). Business and Enterprise plans include enhanced compliance features like custom data retention policies.
What's the difference between Typeform and Google Forms?
Typeform focuses on conversational UX and completion rates, Google Forms prioritizes simplicity and cost (free). Typeform's one-question-at-a-time interface consistently achieves 40-60% completion rates versus Google Forms' 15-20% on identical questions. Typeform offers advanced logic jumps, custom branding, payment collection, and professional design. Google Forms is faster to build, completely free with unlimited responses, and integrates natively with Google Workspace. Choose Typeform if conversion rate matters and you have budget; choose Google Forms for internal surveys, quick polls, or high-volume data collection where cost is the priority.
Can Typeform record sensitive data like payment information?
Typeform can collect payment data securely via Stripe integration but does not store credit card numbers directly. When you enable payment fields, users complete checkout through Stripe's secure interface, and only transaction IDs are stored in Typeform. For other sensitive data (health information, personal identifiers), Typeform is SOC 2 Type II certified and offers HIPAA-compliant configurations on Enterprise plans. However, you must enable SSL encryption and configure data retention policies appropriately. Never collect passwords, social security numbers, or unencrypted financial data through form text fields.
How long does it take to see results with Typeform?
Typeform provides instant results as soon as respondents submit. Form responses appear in real-time in your dashboard, and integrations trigger immediately (Slack notifications, Zapier workflows, webhook calls). We typically see completion rate improvements within the first 50-100 responses compared to previous forms. For meaningful A/B testing or statistical validation of the claimed 3.5x conversion boost, you need 200-500 responses minimum. If you're migrating from Google Forms or another tool, expect 1-2 weeks to reach confidence in the data difference.
What's the best free alternative to Typeform?
Tally is the best free alternative offering unlimited forms and responses forever with logic jumps, custom branding, and integrations. It lacks Typeform's conversational one-at-a-time interface but provides 80% of the functionality at zero cost. Google Forms is another option if you need Google Workspace integration and don't care about design. Jotform has a free plan with 100 responses/month and more question types than Typeform. For lead generation specifically, HubSpot Forms is free with their CRM and offers decent UX, though not as polished as Typeform.
Typeform vs Jotform: when to choose Typeform?
Choose Typeform when conversion rate is your primary metric and you're targeting consumer audiences who expect polished experiences. Typeform's one-question-at-a-time interface and design focus deliver higher completion rates for lead gen, feedback, and registration forms. Choose Jotform when you need more question types (500+ vs Typeform's 30+), enterprise features like conditional email notifications, or if you're collecting high volumes (Jotform's Unlimited plan is cheaper). Jotform is more powerful for complex workflows; Typeform is more elegant for simple high-converting forms.
