Questions people ask

Which one is better for selling things?

Paperform has more for products, bookings and page-style layouts. Formkit takes payments through your own Stripe account on Pro, which covers deposits, fees and simple orders.

How many answers can I collect for free?

Paperform's free plan allows 30 submissions a month. Formkit's free plan does not cap them.

Do both build forms with AI?

Yes. On Formkit you describe the form and it writes the questions. The free plan includes 3 AI builds and 10 AI edits a month, and Pro can also build from a brief or a document.

Can I remove the badge?

Neither free plan removes it. On Formkit, Pro removes “Powered by Formkit” from $6 a seat a month.
