The form-builder market is incredibly crowded. From legacy giants to niche startups, everyone seems to have a tool for collecting data. But as your business scales, you quickly realize that most form builders force you to compromise. They're either too simple, lacking real logic, developer tools, or governance, or so complex and expensive that a single feature request means upgrading to an "Enterprise, contact sales" tier.
We built Mimo Forms to remove those compromises entirely.
Whether you're a solo founder spinning up a quick feedback survey, an agency managing a dozen client accounts, or an enterprise engineering team building compliant corporate data pipelines, Mimo Forms is designed to scale with you, without the usual price cliff.
Here is everything you need to know about Mimo Forms, in detail, and why it stands head and shoulders above the competition.
Form tools don't all compete in the same lane. Some are all-in-one builders, some are WordPress plugins, some are baked into a website builder or app store, some are bare-bones APIs for developers, some are automation-first or CRM-native, some replace the builder entirely with an AI conversation, some are general-purpose survey tools, and some, like Mimo Forms itself, pair the form with a lightweight CRM so submissions become records you can share and manage, not just rows in an inbox. Mimo Forms is built to cover every one of those lanes at once. Here's how it stacks up in each, including what each competitor is genuinely best for.
Competitor pricing and features reflect publicly published plans as of July 2026 and are subject to change, always confirm current details on each provider's own pricing page before deciding.

Mimo Forms isn't a WordPress plugin. It's a hosted platform you embed into WordPress (or anywhere else) with a single snippet, so there's no plugin to update, no PHP conflicts, and no per-site license to manage.

Contact Form 7 is free and open-source with no official paid tier, and unlike every other plugin here, it doesn't store submissions in a database at all by default; it only emails them, so there's no built-in entries list to search or export. FormGent, Bit Form, JetFormBuilder, and Fluent Forms are all annual-billing-only (no monthly option), their per-month figures above are simple annual-price divisions, not an actual monthly plan.
Webflow, Framer, and Shopify all ship native form elements tied to that specific site or store, and most Shopify merchants actually skip Shopify's own native form and add a third-party app from the Shopify App Store's "Store forms" category instead. Most of these aren't a portable, embeddable form you can reuse anywhere else (POWr Form Builder & Survey is the one exception below, since it's also sold as a separate WordPress plugin), unlike Mimo Forms, which works the same whether it's on Shopify, Webflow, Framer, WordPress, or a hosted page of its own.
| Feature | Mimo Forms | Webflow Forms | Framer Forms | FramerForms.com | Shopify Forms | Powerful Contact Form Builder (Globo) | Hulk Form Builder | POWr Form Builder & Survey | Qikify Contact Form Builder |

Tools like Formspree, Basin, FormBackend, Formcarry, nocodeform, StaticForms, Formsubmit, FormGrid, HeadlessForms, Formbold, Formserve, Slapform, and Formester are great as a bare POST endpoint, but you're on your own for the actual form UI, hosting, and builder. Mimo Forms gives you the same backend-first workflow plus a real no-code builder and hosted page when you want one.

Note: Joyfill is really two products under one roof: a published mobile inspection-forms app (fire inspection is its lead vertical) with the pricing above, and a separate embeddable SDK for developers that lets you self-host your data or use Joyfill's cloud, priced by use case rather than a flat rate.
Mimo Forms isn't open-source. It's a fully managed, hosted platform. But it's worth an honest comparison against the tools people reach for specifically because they want to self-host: own the server, own the database, and never depend on a vendor staying in business. Here's how Mimo Forms' "hosted, zero-setup" approach compares to actually self-hosting. One addition below, Alpaca, is a different species of tool than the rest of this table: it's a developer library with no hosted product or UI at all, so judge it on that basis rather than as a like-for-like form builder.
| Feature | Mimo Forms | Formbricks | LimeSurvey | Form.io | OpnForm | Typebot | Alpaca |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Best for | All the self-host benefits (data export, no lock-in) without running a server | Privacy-first, self-hostable product-feedback & NPS surveys | Long-running academic/enterprise survey tool, 30+ question types | Developer infrastructure for building your own white-labeled, multi-tenant form platform | The closest open-source analog to Mimo Forms, AI generation + payments + self-hosting | Conversational, chatbot-style form flows with deep automation integrations | A JSON-Schema-driven form-rendering library for developers, not an end-user product |

Two other tools are sometimes recommended as open-source form builders but didn't make this table: OhMyForm is dead, its repos were archived by the maintainer in 2023-2024 with no further commits possible. Kinto form builder (a companion app for Mozilla's Kinto storage service) is also dead, its repo was archived in November 2020 with no further commits; note this is distinct from the Kinto storage service itself, which remains actively maintained as infrastructure, just not this form-builder app built on top of it.
A handful of tools don't fit neatly into any category above: an automation platform's bundled form tool, Microsoft's free Office-suite form, a couple of general-purpose builders, a rebranded enterprise/compliance platform, a PDF-conversion tool, and a couple of workflow-automation platforms that treat the form as just an entry point. Here's how they compare.
| Feature | Mimo Forms | Zapier Forms | Microsoft Forms | forms.app | 123FormBuilder | QuestionScout | Intellistack (Formstack) | Formester | PlatoForms | TinyCommand | Tallyfy | Tripetto |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

| Entry-level paid plan | $9/mo ($7/mo yearly) | Rides on Zapier's task plans, Professional $19.99/mo annual ($29.99/mo monthly) | No separate SKU, included in Microsoft 365 Business Basic from $6/user/mo | $19/mo annual ($29/mo monthly, Basic) | Pricing in flux post-restructure; historically $37-99/mo tiers | $5/mo (Personal) | $99/mo monthly ($83/mo annual), no HIPAA at this entry tier | $13/mo monthly ($12/mo annual, Personal) | $10/mo ($120/yr, Bronze) | $19/mo | $10/mo ($100/yr, Light Seats), 1-seat minimum | Studio is free with an optional pay-once-per-form upgrade, exact price not published; the WordPress plugin and FormBuilder SDK are sold separately |
| Free plan | ✓ 1,000 submissions/mo | ✓ Unlimited projects, capped at 10 pages, no conditional logic | ✓ 200 forms, 200-50,000 responses/form depending on account type | ✓ 5 forms, unlimited responses | ✓ 1 form, 10 fields, no rules, unlimited submissions | ✗ 14-day trial only, no ongoing free tier | ✗ 14-day trial only, no ongoing free tier | ✓ Unlimited forms/responses, basic features only | ✓ 1 live form, 100 submissions/mo, 100MB storage, 2 team members | ✓ Available, no card required (limits not published) | ✗ 14-day trial only, no permanent free tier | ✓ Studio free plan includes the storyboard builder, conversational logic, multiple form layouts, and a choice of where to store collected data |
| Native payment/donation fields | ✓ All plans | Not a native field, would need a Zap to a payment processor | ✗ Not offered | ✓ "Unlimited payments," all plans including Free | Not on Free; paid tiers only | ✓ Even on the $5 entry tier | ✓ Stripe/PayPal, all paid tiers | ✓ All tiers | ✓ Stripe w/ Apple/Google Pay, Bronze tier+ | Not confirmed | Not confirmed, pricing page doesn't specify | Not confirmed |

| AI form generation | ✓ Prompt, JSON & image import | Not found for the Forms product specifically | Copilot-assisted drafting on paid M365 tiers (not full form generation) | ✓ Confirmed on Pro/Premium tiers | Not confirmed | Not found | "AI-powered document generation," not full form generation | ✓ AI form creator, all tiers | ✓ AI form generator / AI field recognition, usage-based credits per tier | Partial, AI assists with email templates, not confirmed for form generation | Not confirmed for forms specifically, "Tallyfy AI" targets process generation, plus an MCP server for AI agents | Not confirmed |

123FormBuilder's pricing page was mid-restructure at the time of writing; treat its figures as directional, not final, and confirm on 123formbuilder.com/pricing before deciding. PlatoForms, TinyCommand, and Tallyfy are worth a specific caveat: none of them are really "form builders" in the Typeform sense, PlatoForms exists to digitize PDF forms you already have, while TinyCommand and Tallyfy both treat the form as one entry point into a larger workflow/automation platform (much like Zapier Forms above), so compare them on that basis rather than as a like-for-like form builder.
Beyond the standard single-page layout, a whole cluster of tools build the format of the form itself around a chat-style conversation, a gamified interactive campaign, or a broken-into-steps flow, rather than positioning themselves primarily on price, WordPress compatibility, or backend access like the categories above.
| Feature | Mimo Forms | Collect.chat | ConvoForm | ioZen | Woorise |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Best for | Every format, standard, conversational, or multi-step, in one builder, not a separate product | Chatbot-widget-style conversational forms, embeddable anywhere | Open-source, self-hosted AI conversational form interface | A conversational intake/lead-qualification bot that replaces a contact form, with a lightweight built-in CRM | Viral giveaways, contests, quizzes & interactive campaigns, forms are one campaign type among several |
| Entry-level paid plan | $9/mo ($7/mo yearly) | $14/mo (Lite, billed yearly) | N/A, no commercial hosted plan found, self-hosted only (Apache 2.0) | $29/mo ($290/yr, Pro) | €20/mo (€16/mo billed annually, Basic) |
| Free plan | ✓ 1,000 submissions/mo | ✓ 100 responses/mo, 3 bots/forms, 1 workspace | ✓ Fully free to self-host via Docker Compose | ✓ 1 FlowApp, 1,000 one-time AI credits, 1 IntakeBot, unlimited submissions, 2 team members, 500 contacts | ✗ No permanent free plan, 14-day trial of Pro only |
| Native payment/donation fields | ✓ All plans | Standard tier ($29/mo)+ only, not on Lite | Not documented | Not confirmed | ✓ Grow tier+ (not on Basic) |
| Conditional logic | ✓ All plans | ✓ "Logical Jump," even on Lite | Not documented, AI handles follow-up branching conversationally instead | Not explicitly confirmed, AI-guided branching may substitute for it | ✓ All plans |
| AI form generation | ✓ Prompt, JSON & image import | ✓ "AI Form Builder" (describe your goal in plain English), Standard tier+ | ✓ Core feature, AI generates the form from a description and drives the conversational follow-ups | ✓ Core feature, AI builds the qualifying conversation flow from your site content | ✗ Not offered |
| Multi-tenant/team workspaces | ✓ Unlimited on Agency Use | Free/Lite = 1 team member only; unlimited members from Standard+ | Not documented, a small-scale project (~101 GitHub stars, single primary maintainer) | ✓ Team seats scale 2 (free) → unlimited (Enterprise) | ✓ Seat-based (1/5/10 users) plus "Workspaces" for organizing by brand/client |
ConvoForm is genuinely open-source (Apache 2.0, self-hosted via Docker) rather than a commercial SaaS, there's no hosted pricing plan to point to, and at ~101 GitHub stars with a single primary maintainer, it's a small project rather than an established product.
A newer category skips the traditional builder entirely: describe what you want, or just have a conversation, and the "form" is generated or replaced by an AI agent. This is a different bet than Mimo Forms' approach, we use AI to generate a normal, fully editable form (via prompt, JSON, or image import), not to replace the form with an ongoing chat.
Here is the down side: it's not a live chat with a real person, so respondents can lose patience and abandon partway through if the AI keeps asking questions. Running AI behind every single form interaction is also considerably more expensive than just serving a static standard or conversational form. A fixed builder is generally the safer choice for anything that needs predictable, auditable data.
| Feature | Mimo Forms | Formless | Formhug | Polyform |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Best for | AI that builds a real, editable form in seconds | A fully conversational, chat/voice-style form replacement | An AI form builder with an MCP server so AI agents can build/read/submit forms directly | A lightweight AI form agent ("Polly") for solo builders |
| Entry-level paid plan | $9/mo ($7/mo yearly) | $59/mo (250 AI conversations/mo, scales with usage) | $29/mo (Pro) | $19/mo monthly ($12/mo annual, Pro) |
| Free plan | ✓ 1,000 submissions/mo | ✗ Free trial only, no persistent free plan | ✓ Unlimited forms, 3,000 submissions/mo, 500MB uploads, conditional logic + AI builder included | ✓ Unlimited forms/responses, up to 3 team members |
| How AI is used | Generates a standard, fully editable form from a prompt, JSON, or image | Replaces the form entirely with an AI-run conversation | Generates the form from a prompt; also exposes an MCP server for AI agents to build/submit forms programmatically | An AI agent ("Polly") assists inside a traditional builder |
| Native payment/donation fields | ✓ All plans | Not documented | ✓ From Pro tier ($29/mo); not on Free | Not documented |
| Conditional logic | ✓ All plans | Not applicable, branching is handled by the AI conversation itself | ✓ Included even on the free tier | Referenced as available, tier not specified |
| Multi-tenant workspaces | ✓ Unlimited on Agency Use | 3 seats included on the paid plan; broader workspace tiering not confirmed | Unlimited collaborators only at Business tier ($59/mo) | 3 members free, 5 on Pro, small-team scale |
| Notable | Still a real, structured form you fully control | Now operated as "Formless by Typeform" | Notable for its MCP server letting Claude/Cursor-style agents build forms directly | Free tier is unusually generous for the price point, worth reconfirming before you rely on it |
Survey tools are built specifically around structured research and feedback collection, NPS, CSAT, market research, and academic or enterprise polling, rather than general-purpose lead capture, bookings, or transactional forms. Mimo Forms handles the same survey use cases (Scale and Likert Scale fields, feedback loops) as field types inside one builder, not as a separate research suite you have to license on top.
| Feature | Mimo Forms | SurveyMonkey | SurveySparrow | Qualtrics | Alchemer | QuestionPro | SurveyPlanet | SmartSurvey | Sogolytics |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Best for | All-in-one, no seat minimums | Legacy market leader with the strongest brand recognition | Conversational, chat-style one-question-at-a-time UX | Enterprise experience-management (CX/EX) research programs, not self-serve forms | Advanced logic + AI-driven dynamic follow-up questions for market research | Research-grade platform: 80+ question types, panels, conjoint/MaxDiff analysis | Unlimited free responses, stable pricing "for 15+ years" | UK-based, GDPR/accessibility-first, AI builder even on its free tier | Value-priced SurveyMonkey/SurveySparrow alternative with AI survey generation |
| Entry-level paid plan | $9/mo ($7/mo yearly) | $39/mo (Advantage, annual-only) or $99/mo month-to-month with only 1,000 responses/mo | ~$19–39/mo (Basic/Starter, annual-billed; exact figure not published directly) | No self-serve pricing, "Request Pricing" only, custom per suite/usage | $55/user/mo (Collaborator); $165/user/mo (Professional, max 3 users) | Free (Essentials); $99/user/mo annual (Advanced) | $20/mo (or $180/yr) | £90/user/mo, or £70/user/mo annual (Advanced), GBP, not USD | $99/mo monthly, or $66/mo annual (Pro) |
| Free plan | ✓ 1,000 submissions/mo | View-limited to 25 responses/survey | 75 responses/quarter, 1 user, 3 active surveys | Minimal free account tier exists, not a real self-serve alternative | Limited free plan + 7-day trial, no card required | ✓ 1 user, 200 responses/survey | ✓ Unlimited surveys, questions & responses, but CSV/data export requires Pro | ✓ 1 user, 100 responses/mo (Basic) | ✓ Forever free, 200 responses/year, 15 projects/year |
| Native payment/donation fields | ✓ All plans | Team Advantage plan+ only | Not offered | Not confirmed, not this platform's use case | ✓ Native Stripe "Payment Form" action, Collaborator tier+ | Not confirmed | Not confirmed | Not confirmed (third-party Stripe automation only, not a native field) | Not confirmed |
| Conditional/skip logic | ✓ All plans | More logic on Advantage, "advanced logic" on Premier | ✓ Basic tier and up | ✓ Standard on the platform (no self-serve tier to gate it by) | ✓ "Advanced logic," Professional tier+ | ✓ Included from the free Essentials tier | ✓ "Question branching," Pro tier | ✓ From Advanced tier; "conditional triggers" at Scale | ✓ All tiers, including free |
| AI form generation | ✓ Prompt, JSON & image import | "Analyze with AI" (response analysis, not form generation) on Advantage+ | Not confirmed on pricing tiers | AI (XM/iQ) used for analysis, not confirmed as prompt-to-survey generation | "Alchemer AI", auto follow-up questions & response theming, not one-shot generation | ✓ Builds a full survey from a text brief in ~60 seconds ("QuestionPro AI"), plus adaptive "Survey Agent" | ✓ "Create surveys with AI," Free/Pro tier | ✓ AI builder included even on the free Basic plan | ✓ "Create with AI", builds full survey (questions, logic, structure) from a prompt |
| Team plans | ✓ Unlimited seats on Agency Use | Requires 3+ seats at $25–75/user/mo | Business tier = 3 users, extra seats $49/mo | Unlimited users bundled into enterprise contracts, no published seat pricing | Per-user up to 3 seats on named plans; 4+ seats requires custom Platform contract | Team Edition requires 5+ users at $83/user/mo annual | Not per-seat; bulk discounts (10–50%) at 2+ licenses | Growth tier is per-user (£100–125/mo), no stated minimum | Single-user on named plans; multi-seat access is Enterprise-only |
Qualtrics doesn't publish self-serve pricing at all, it's sold entirely through direct sales as an enterprise research suite, so its pricing row above reflects that rather than a dollar figure. SmartSurvey's prices are in GBP, not USD; convert before comparing directly.
This is the category closest to a feature we built directly into Mimo Forms: every submission is automatically stored and trackable, and you can share individual submissions, or an entire form's results, publicly via a page link, giving stakeholders a lightweight, shareable view of your data without needing platform access. Here's how that compares to the handful of other tools that pair a form with a database-like, shareable view rather than a plain inbox.
| Feature | Mimo Forms | Airtable (Forms) | Softr | HubSpot Forms | OrbitForms | Salesforce Web-to-Lead | ActiveCampaign Forms | Zoho CRM Web Forms | Pipedrive Web Forms | monday CRM (WorkForms) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Best for | Public, shareable submission pages built directly into the form tool | Treating the form as just one view over a full relational database | Turning form responses into a public directory or client portal | Auto-creating/updating CRM contact records the instant someone submits | AI-native lead capture + scheduling + qualification for sales teams | Native Salesforce lead capture, zero middleware, writes straight into Sales Cloud | Forms that write into a contact database and trigger marketing automations instantly | A CRM-native web-to-lead generator with round-robin assignment & workflow triggers | Forms that sync straight into Pipedrive as new Deals or Leads | A public-link form where each submission creates a new CRM board item |
| Entry-level paid plan | $9/mo ($7/mo yearly) | $20/user/mo annual ($24/mo billed monthly, Team) | $49/mo (Basic) | Free with HubSpot's free CRM; Marketing Hub Starter from $20/seat/mo ($15/mo annual) for advanced logic | $29/mo (Pro, 20% off annual), 1,000 responses/mo | ~$25/user/mo (Starter Suite), third-party corroborated, not directly confirmed on salesforce.com | ~$15/mo (Starter, annual), third-party corroborated, official page was gated | ~$14/user/mo (Standard), third-party corroborated | ~$14/user/mo base CRM (Essential), but Web Forms isn't included; requires the separate LeadBooster add-on from $32.50/mo per company on top | ~$12/seat/mo (Basic), third-party corroborated |
| Free plan | ✓ 1,000 submissions/mo | ✓ Forms view included, no custom branding | ✓ 10 app users, 5,000 database records, unlimited form responses | ✓ Free forever, but capped at 1,000 CRM contact records, and every submission consumes one | ✗ 7-day free trial only, no ongoing free tier | ✗ Free trial only, no permanent free tier | ✗ 14-day trial only, no permanent free plan | ✓ Free edition, up to 3 users | ✗ Free trial only | ✗ No free plan for the sales CRM specifically; 14-day trial |
| Submissions stored as queryable records | ✓ All plans, with analytics | ✓ Native, the form is one view over a full relational table | ✓ Writes into Softr's own database (or Airtable/Sheets/Notion) | ✓ Writes directly into HubSpot's Smart CRM as contact records | ✓ "Unified contact database" with tags & lead ownership, all plans | ✓ Writes directly into Salesforce as native Lead records (capped at 500 new Leads/24hr) | ✓ Adds/updates contact records directly in ActiveCampaign | ✓ Creates/updates Lead, Contact, or Deal records directly in Zoho CRM | ✓ Auto-synced as new Deals or Leads (your choice) | ✓ Creates a new board item per submission, notably can only create, not update existing records |
| Public shareable page/link for submission data | ✓ All plans | Share links for the underlying base/view (tier-gating not fully published) | ✓ Core feature, database powers a public directory/portal page | ✗ Data lives inside your private CRM, not a public page | Not offered, data lives in its private contact database, not a public link | ✗ Private CRM records only | ✗ Private contact database only | Not confirmed, unlikely for a private lead-capture form | ✗ Private CRM records only; the form itself is link-shareable, the data isn't | Link-shareable submission form only, not a shareable view of the CRM data |
| Customizable view/layout | ✓ | ✓ Grid/Kanban/Calendar/Gallery/Form views | ✓ Full portal/app layout, not just a table | ✓ Full CRM record/pipeline views, paid tiers | ✓ Contact tagging, ownership & workflow views, Business tier+ ($149/mo) | ✓ Full Salesforce Lead/pipeline views, paid Sales Cloud tiers | ✓ Contact & automation views, all paid tiers | ✓ Standard Zoho CRM record/pipeline views | ✓ Standard Pipedrive pipeline/deal views | ✓ Standard monday board views (Kanban, Gantt, etc.) |

| Requires an external platform to function | ✗ Fully standalone | ✓ Requires an Airtable base | ✗ Standalone, but positioned as a full app/portal builder, not a dedicated form tool | ✓ Requires a HubSpot CRM account | ✗ Standalone platform | ✓ Requires a Salesforce org | ✓ Requires an ActiveCampaign account | ✓ Requires a Zoho CRM account | ✓ Requires a Pipedrive account + LeadBooster add-on | ✓ Requires a monday CRM account |
| AI form generation | ✓ Prompt, JSON & image import | Not offered | Not offered | Not confirmed | ✗ Not for building the form itself, AI is used for lead qualification ("AI SDR" scoring against your ideal customer profile via Claude), not form generation | Not offered, a static HTML form generator, not AI-built | Not offered | Not confirmed | Not confirmed | Not confirmed |
Note: Pipedrive's advertised entry price does not include Web Forms at all, that feature ships exclusively inside the separate LeadBooster add-on, an extra $32.50+/month on top of your base plan. OrbitForms in particular is closer to an AI sales/scheduling platform that happens to include a form builder than a dedicated forms product, it bundles meeting scheduling, email/SMS sequences, and automated workflows around the form itself.
Mimo Forms treats booking, feedback, quizzes, donations, payments, and internal workflows as field types and form types inside one builder. A whole category of tools instead build their entire business around just one of those use cases. Here's how five of those niches compare, grouped by what they specialize in.
Booking & Appointment Scheduling
Mimo Forms is the better pick here: booking is already part of the builder, at no extra cost.
| Feature | Mimo Forms | Calendly | Acuity Scheduling | SavvyCal | Cal.com |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Best for | Booking as one field type inside a full form, not a dedicated scheduling product | The category-defining scheduling link tool for team and sales-pipeline workflows | Appointment-based service businesses like salons, coaches, and clinics | A recipient-first scheduling experience where invitees overlay their own calendar on the host's link | Open-source, API-first scheduling infrastructure for technical teams wanting to embed or white-label booking |
| Entry-level paid plan | $9/mo ($7/mo yearly) | $10/seat/mo billed annually ($12/seat/mo monthly) | $16/mo annual ($20/mo monthly, Starter) | $10/user/mo (annual gives 2 months free) | $12/user/mo billed annually (Teams); free to self-host under AGPLv3 |
| Free plan | ✓ 1,000 submissions/mo | 1 event type, 1 connected calendar | None, 7-day trial only | 1 active scheduling link, 1 limited calendar connection | Free forever for 1 user, unlimited event types and calendars, 100+ integrations, Stripe/PayPal payments |
| CRM/calendar integrations | Calendar sync via Time Slot and Appointment fields | Google, Outlook, Teams calendars; HubSpot, Mailchimp, Zapier on Standard+; Salesforce and Dynamics 365 on Teams/Enterprise | Google, Outlook, iCloud calendars; Stripe, Square, PayPal payments; no third-party CRM sync confirmed | Unlimited calendar connections on both plans; CRM integrations and Zapier/API/webhooks gated to Premium ($17/user/mo) | Google, Outlook, Apple, Zoho calendars; two-way Salesforce and HubSpot sync, even on the free tier |
| Standout edge | One builder covers booking plus every other form type, not a single-purpose tool | Native round-robin lead routing tied directly into Salesforce and HubSpot assignment rules | Built-in packages, gift certificates, memberships, class scheduling, and a HIPAA BAA option on Premium | A calendar overlay feature merges the invitee's own schedule into the booking view, plus ranked availability preferences | The only one of these four you can legally self-host and modify the source code of |
NPS & Customer Feedback
The advantage: NPS and CSAT feedback fields are already built in, at no extra cost.
| Feature | Mimo Forms | Delighted | Zonka Feedback | Retently | AskNicely |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Best for | NPS, CSAT, and open feedback loops built into the same form builder as everything else | Fast, minimal single-question NPS and CSAT surveys | Omnichannel CX feedback across email, SMS, web, QR, kiosk, and in-app, with AI text and emotion analytics | NPS, CSAT, and CES with automated, trigger-based campaigns tied to customer lifecycle events | Turning NPS feedback directly into real-time frontline employee coaching and gamified performance management |
| Entry-level paid plan | $9/mo ($7/mo yearly) | Not confirmed, standalone self-serve pricing appears discontinued since being folded into Qualtrics, now sales-quote only | Not publicly listed, custom pricing based on response volume | Ecommerce Basic $99/mo (2,500 surveys/mo, 3 seats); a separate B2B track cited by third parties starts lower, confirm current segmentation before deciding | Not a flat public price, response-volume-based starting from 500 responses, contact sales |
| Free plan | ✓ 1,000 submissions/mo | Historically existed (25 responses, 1 user) but not verifiable as currently live | None confirmed, 14-day free trial | Possibly yes on the B2B track per third-party sources, not confirmed on the live ecommerce-track page | None, and no free trial offered |
| CRM/helpdesk integrations | Native integrations plus webhooks to any endpoint | Historically Salesforce, Slack, Zendesk, HubSpot via Zapier, not independently reconfirmed | Salesforce, HubSpot, Pipedrive, Mailchimp; Zendesk, Intercom, Freshdesk, Help Scout, Front; Slack, Teams, Jira, Zoom, Google Sheets | Slack, Zendesk, HubSpot on Basic/Pro; Salesforce on Enterprise | Slack on Learn tier and up, Microsoft Teams on Grow/Transform; specific CRM sync not confirmed |
| Standout edge | Scale and Likert Scale fields sit alongside every other field type, not in a separate product | Extreme simplicity and speed to launch a single NPS question | Native offline kiosk-mode surveys on Android and iOS tablets that sync automatically once reconnected | Pre-built closed-loop detractor workflows and Shopify-specific lifecycle-triggered NPS | A 9-box coaching grid and mobile manager coaching workflow that turns feedback into gamified employee training |
Quizzes & Interactive Assessments
The advantage: quizzes get the same AI generation and CRM-style tracking as every other form, at no extra cost.
| Feature | Mimo Forms | Outgrow | Interact Quiz Maker | ProProfs Quiz Maker | Riddle Quiz Maker |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Best for | Scored, branching quizzes for education, onboarding, or lead qualification, built alongside every other form type | Interactive content built around lead capture and scoring through calculators, quizzes, and assessments | Quiz-first lead generation for course creators and marketers | Quizzes spanning marketing lead gen, K-12 education, and hiring/certification | Enterprise interactive content across 37+ formats, built for white-label embedding across owned domains |
| Entry-level paid plan | $9/mo ($7/mo yearly) | $14/mo billed annually (Freelancer Limited, 3,000 leads/year, 1 user) | $27/mo billed annually (Lite) | $19.99/mo per 100 active quiz takers, capped at 300 takers/mo (Essentials) | $119/mo billed annually (Pro) |
| Free plan | ✓ 1,000 submissions/mo | 1 content type, 1,200 leads/year, limited | 100 completions/mo, 2 quizzes, 1 user, Interact branding retained, no integrations or logic | 12 questions, 90-day report history, unlimited quizzes and classrooms | None, 14-day full-featured free trial |
| Standout edge | Quizzes share the same backend, AI generation, and CRM-style submission tracking as the rest of the platform | Native lead scoring on quiz and assessment answers with outcome-based branching feeding CRM and Zapier integrations | Personality-quiz result logic and conversion-tracking templates tuned for quiz-based lead segmentation | AI essay grading and AI-generated quizzes from PDFs or URLs, plus dedicated hiring and certification plans with psychometric tests and ATS integration | True multi-domain white-labeling with per-domain licensing, plus Stats and Builder API access on the Business tier |

Donations & Payment Collection
The advantage: donations and payments are collected on every plan, with no platform fee stacked on top of processor fees.
| Feature | Mimo Forms | Donorbox | GiveWP | Qgiv (now Bloomerang Fundraising) | WP Simple Pay | Stripe Payment Links |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Best for | Donation and payment fields built into every form, not a separate donation platform | Donation forms, crowdfunding, and event ticketing for nonprofits, monetized through a platform fee rather than a subscription | A WordPress-native donation plugin with a genuinely free core version | Modular nonprofit fundraising, donation forms, events, text-to-give, peer-to-peer, and auctions toggled on or off | A WordPress plugin that does nothing but take Stripe payments, no e-commerce cart overhead | The zero-setup anti-form-builder, a shareable payment page generated in minutes |
| Entry-level paid plan | $9/mo ($7/mo yearly) | Free Standard plan is the practical entry point (2.95 to 3.95 percent platform fee plus processor fees); first paid tier is Pro at $150/mo for lower fees | $199/yr (Essentials, annual only), no platform fees, only payment processor fees | $40/mo billed annually, but bundled with Bloomerang CRM rather than sold standalone, full modular pricing requires a sales quote | $49.50/yr for 1 site (Personal), promotional pricing, confirm renewal cost | No subscription, pay-per-transaction at standard Stripe processing rates (2.9 percent plus 30 cents) |
| Free plan | ✓ 1,000 submissions/mo, native payment fields on every plan | Unlimited donation forms, crowdfunding campaigns, event ticketing, peer-to-peer, and a donor portal, 5 team members | Free core plugin with unlimited donation forms, Stripe/PayPal, and a donor database, but no recurring donations | Not confirmed post-acquisition | Free Lite version on WordPress.org with unlimited payment forms and basic recurring support, but a roughly 3 percent fee on transactions | Free to set up and use, you only pay when a transaction succeeds |
| Standout edge | One builder handles donations, one-off payments, and every other form type without platform fees on top of processor fees | A one-click repeat-donor portal, donor-covers-fees option, and native crypto and stock donation support on Pro | Recurring-donation depth and a donor portal on Pro, plus fund designations, tribute gifts, and peer-to-peer on Elite | Legacy Qgiv modular toggle pricing let you pay only for enabled fundraising modules, now folded into the broader Bloomerang platform | Zero-markup, 135+ currency Stripe forms embedded natively in WordPress, with Klarna, Afterpay, and Affirm on higher tiers | Works for one-time, subscription, or donation payments with 40+ payment methods and 135+ currencies, no account beyond Stripe itself |
Internal & Operational Workflow Forms
Mimo Forms is the better pick here: internal forms live in the same account as customer-facing ones, with submission tracking and public sharing built in.
| Feature | Mimo Forms | Kissflow | ProcessMaker (merged into Decisions) | Formsite |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Best for | Internal intake, audits, and HR forms alongside every customer-facing form type, in one account | Enterprise low-code workflow and process automation, forms are one component of a broader BPM suite | Historically, low-code BPMN process modeling and intelligent document processing for internal workflow forms | An established, operations-leaning forms tool with sub-user permissions and PDF result generation for internal data collection |
| Entry-level paid plan | $9/mo ($7/mo yearly) | Not published, custom consultation-based pricing with fixed annual agreements | Not confirmed, ProcessMaker merged with Decisions in November 2025 and now operates under the Decisions brand for new business | $21/mo monthly, $249.95/yr annual (Personal, 5 forms, 500 results/form) |
| Free plan | ✓ 1,000 submissions/mo | Not confirmed, no self-serve free tier visible | Not confirmed post-merger | Free after a 14-day trial, 5 forms, 10 results/form, 50MB storage |
| Standout edge | No separate workflow product to license, submission tracking and public sharing are built in | A full workflow and BPM engine wrapped around forms, with multi-step approval chains, audit trails, and governance controls | Existing ProcessMaker deployments continue, but it is no longer sold as an independent product to new buyers | Unlimited internal workflows, PDF result generation, and role-based sub-user permissions starting at the Business tier |
Several figures above carry real uncertainty, worth a manual check before you decide: Delighted's pricing appears to have moved to a sales-quote model since its Qualtrics acquisition; Zonka Feedback, AskNicely, and Kissflow are all volume-based or custom-quote products with no published flat price; Retently's official page showed only an ecommerce-tier pricing track at time of writing, though a cheaper B2B track is referenced elsewhere; Qgiv was acquired by Bloomerang in December 2023 and now sells as "Bloomerang Fundraising," bundled with their CRM; and ProcessMaker merged with Decisions in November 2025, so it's no longer sold standalone to new customers.
No comparison is honest if it only points one way. Here's what the competition genuinely does better, or has that Mimo Forms doesn't (yet):
action attribute on a plain HTML <form> and you're done, which some developers prefer over adopting any external builder at all. FormGrid goes further and pairs that raw backend with its own open-source visual builder.We think Mimo Forms wins on breadth, flexibility, and price for the vast majority of use cases, but if one of the points above is the single feature you need most, it's worth knowing going in.
Most platforms are built around a single format and bend everything else to fit it. A scheduling tool bolts on "forms" as an afterthought; a survey tool struggles the moment you need to accept a payment. Mimo Forms was built from day one to handle every format as a first-class citizen:
You don't need nine different tools (or nine different subscriptions) to cover all of this. One builder, one account, every use case.
Your forms need to live where your users already are, not force them somewhere else.
Every form gets a clean, standalone hosted form page you can share as a link, fully themed, mobile-optimized, and ready to go the moment you publish.
Prefer to keep visitors on your own site? Mimo Forms embeds cleanly into WordPress, Framer, Webflow, Next.js, and AI-generated projects (Lovable, v0, Bolt, and similar), or literally any platform that accepts an iframe or script embed. No clunky plugin lock-in, no styling fights with your theme. It just works anywhere.
Our drag-and-drop builder is powerful enough for non-technical teams, but we didn't forget the people actually shipping the product.
Stop settling for basic text inputs. Mimo Forms ships with 34+ field types organized around how you actually build forms:
Standard collection fields for the basics, Text, Email (auto-validated), Phone, Number, Date/Time pickers, Address, Currency, Dropdowns, and pre-populated Country selectors, plus checkboxes, radio, and multiple choice.
Advanced logic & structure fields for complex forms, Page Breaks to split long forms into digestible steps, Repeatable Groups so respondents can add multiple entries on the fly (like listing previous employers), Calculation fields that compute values live from other answers, Scale and Likert Scale fields for ratings and sentiment, Signature fields for legally binding e-signatures, plus Consent, Tags, Lookup, and embedded sub-forms for genuinely complex data models.
Scheduling & payment fields for transactional forms, Time Slot and Appointment fields that sync with your calendar availability, Pricing Plan and Subscription fields to sell products or recurring plans, and Donation fields for flexible giving.
Trust & security fields, Captcha and honeypot-style hidden fields work alongside your anti-spam settings to keep submissions clean without adding friction for real respondents.
Whatever data you need, structured, conditional, financial, or scheduled, there's a purpose-built field for it, not a generic workaround.
Every field, page, and flow can be styled and reconfigured to match your exact needs:
Collecting data is only half the job. Mimo Forms is built around what happens after someone hits submit:
Don't want to start from a blank canvas? Describe the form you need and let AI generate a complete, multi-step form in seconds, fields, logic, and structure included.
Already have a form somewhere else? Import it via JSON or by simply uploading an image of an existing form, and Mimo Forms' AI will recreate it as a fully functional, editable form automatically.
Mimo Forms is a genuinely multi-tenant platform. Create and manage separate workspaces for different businesses, clients, or departments under a single account, each with its own forms, submissions, branding, and team members. Agencies running forms for multiple clients don't need multiple logins or multiple bills; it's all managed from one place.
This is where Mimo Forms breaks most sharply from the pack. Legacy form builders charge $39–$199+ per month the moment your submission volume grows past a trivial threshold. Mimo Forms is priced to scale with you instead of taxing you for succeeding:
Compare that to the $39–$199/month that competitors like Typeform and Jotform charge at similar submission volumes, and the math isn't close.
Most form builders make you choose: simple or powerful, no-code or developer-friendly, affordable or feature-complete. Mimo Forms refuses that trade-off. Every form type, 34+ fields, real developer access, AI generation, multi-tenant workspaces, and compliance-grade data handling, all in one platform, priced lower than tools that do far less.
If you're tired of hitting the limitations of your current form builder, it's time to make the switch.
