Jotform
Forms that take payments without a separate tool
Jotform is a form builder whose useful trick is that a form can collect money. Order forms, deposits, booking fees and donations all work through the payment processors most creators already use, with no separate checkout to maintain. It also does the unglamorous things well: file uploads, conditional logic, approvals and a signable document. The free plan allows a real number of submissions rather than a token few, and plans above it are metered by submissions and storage.

Tally
Unlimited forms and answers on the free plan
Tally gives away the thing every other form builder meters. Forms and submissions are unlimited without paying, and the paid tier buys branding removal, custom domains and the integrations rather than permission to collect more answers. It is written like a document, so building a form is typing rather than dragging blocks around. For a creator running a waitlist, an application or a feedback form on an irregular schedule, the free plan is usually the whole answer.
Our note
Start here before paying anyone per response. The free plan is the product, and the upgrade is about your domain and your branding rather than about collecting more answers.
