How Seagit Forms compares
Five comparisons, each written the same way: a table of things that are stable enough to be worth stating, a section on where the other product is the better choice, and one on where this one is.
Competitor pricing IS quoted, but only as a dated snapshot read from each vendor’s own page, because plans change and nobody re-reads a comparison table. Every figure carries the date it was checked and a link to the source, so a stale number is visible as a stale number rather than passing for a current one.
- Seagit Forms vs Google FormsWebhooks and a real embed on the free plan — without a Google account.
- Seagit Forms vs TypeformThe conversational feel costs money; the plumbing does not.
- Seagit Forms vs JotformA smaller product with the plumbing on the free plan.
- Seagit Forms vs SurveyMonkeyNo 10-question cap, and CSV export without paying for it.
What each one costs
Free tier and cheapest paid tier, read from each vendor’s own pricing page on 2026-08-30. Prices move, so this is a snapshot rather than a promise — each row links to the source.
| Product | Free tier | Cheapest paid tier |
|---|---|---|
| Seagit FormsPlans | 10 forms, 100 responses per form | Basic — $20/month |
| Google FormsPricing page | No published response cap | Workspace Business Starter — $7/user/month |
| TypeformPricing page | 10 responses per month, account-wide | Basic — $39/month ($28 billed annually) |
| JotformPricing page | 100 submissions per month, 5 forms | Bronze — $39/month ($34 billed annually) |
| SurveyMonkeyPricing page | 1 user, unlimited surveys, 10 questions per survey, limited responses per survey | Standard Monthly — $129/month billed monthly |
| TallyPricing page | Unlimited forms and submissions, subject to fair use | Pro — $24/month |
The volume numbers are not in the same units. Typeform and Jotform count responses per month across the account and reset monthly; Seagit Forms counts them per form, for the life of the form. Compare the shape of your own use before comparing the numbers.
One price for the whole team: Basic is $20 a month flat, not per person.
Billed annually it is $200 a year — $16.67 a month, 17% less than paying monthly. Advanced is $40 a month, or $33.33 a month billed annually.
Basic covers 3 organizations of 2 seats each — 6 seats, which is up to 4 people once you count that you hold a seat in each organization you own. Advanced raises that to 15 seats across 5 organizations, up to 11 people.
Adding someone does not change the bill: the price is the plan, not the head count. Whether that beats a given rival depends on how they charge for seats — check their pricing page, which every comparison here links to, rather than a claim on this one. See the plans.
How these comparisons are written
A comparison page written by one of the two products is not a neutral document, and pretending otherwise would insult the reader. These are written under four rules instead, so you can judge what they are worth.
- Competitor pricing is dated and sourced, or absent. Plans change and nobody re-reads a table, so a number that was right when it was written becomes a false claim on its own. Every price here therefore carries the date it was read and a link to the vendor’s own page. An unverified price is left out entirely rather than estimated.
- Only stable, checkable claims. “Google Forms has no built-in webhook” is stable. “Product X caps you at N responses” is not, and does not appear.
- Where a feature is paid, the page says so. Webhooks, embedding and CSV export are on the free plan. Password protection, your own logo in place of the Seagit mark and connected apps (Slack, Discord, Teams, Google Chat, Airtable, Notion, Google Sheets) are not — they need a paid plan, and no page here implies otherwise.
- Every page says where the other product wins. Quizzes and grading, conversational forms, branching logic, template libraries, large file uploads — all real gaps, named on the page that is supposed to be selling against them.
Tally and Fillout, briefly
These two had pages of their own and no longer do, which is worth explaining rather than quietly undoing. Both are good products and neither comparison had enough to say: measured against their sibling pages they were 63% and 65% unique, the lowest on the site, and almost every difference came down to the same two points. Five near-identical pages is how a site gets classed as low-value content, so they live here instead, at the length the material actually justifies.
Tally
The closest comparison on this page, because both are usable for real work without paying. Its editor is the real difference: you build a form the way you write a document rather than by filling in a field list, and for many people that is faster and more pleasant. It is also a larger, more finished product than this one. Choose Tally for the editor. The two things Seagit Forms has that it does not expose are an embed allow-list — the domains you approve become a frame-ancestors header, so browsers refuse to frame your form anywhere else — and a webhook contract written down in advance: payload shape, optional auth header, five-second timeout, no retries.
Fillout
Broader than Seagit Forms — more question types, more integrations — and free to start. If your form needs an unusual input, or needs to write directly into a specific product rather than POST to an endpoint you own, check Fillout first, because nineteen field types is a real ceiling and you will meet it here sooner. The trade is the same as with Tally: Seagit Forms gives you the embed allow-list and a documented webhook, and expects you to own the other end of it. Neither product is trying to be the other.
What every comparison covers
The same eight dimensions each time, so two pages can be read against each other: what it costs to collect responses, whether a respondent needs an account, whether each submission can reach your own endpoint as JSON, whether it can post into Slack, whether the embed resizes itself, whether you can restrict which sites are allowed to frame the form, how passwords are handled, and the limits that actually bite — such as the 200 KB ceiling on a single file upload here.
Questions people ask when comparing
- Jotform vs Typeform — which should I choose?
- They are strong at opposite things. Jotform is the broader product: a very large field set, thousands of templates, and a long integration list, so it usually wins when your form is unusual and you would rather configure than build. Typeform is the narrower and more designed one: one question per page with motion between them, and branching that changes what is asked next based on an answer. Choose Jotform for breadth and Typeform for how the form feels to answer. Neither of them, and not this product either, is the right answer to every form.
- Google Forms vs Typeform — what is the real difference?
- Google Forms is free with a Google account, puts results straight into a spreadsheet, and does quizzes with automatic grading, which is why it dominates in classrooms and internal use. Typeform is a paid product whose value is presentation and branching: the form is part of the pitch rather than a data-entry step. If the form is internal and the answers belong in a spreadsheet, Google Forms is hard to argue with. If the form is customer-facing and the completion rate is the point, that is the case for Typeform.
- Where does Seagit Forms actually fit against these?
- On delivery, not on breadth or motion. Every response is stored here, and on top of that it can be POSTed to a webhook you own, or pushed into Slack, Discord, Microsoft Teams, Google Chat, Airtable, Notion or a Google Sheet. Webhooks, embedding, CSV export and Telegram are on the free plan. It has nineteen field types rather than thousands of templates, no branching logic, and no animation between questions — if you need any of those three, one of the products above is the better choice and each comparison page says so in its own section.
- Is there a genuinely free alternative to these form builders?
- The free plan here gives 10 forms at 100 responses each, with no card required, and it includes the webhook and the embed rather than holding them back for a paid tier. What it does not include is connected apps, email notifications, file uploads, password protection and removing the Seagit mark. Google Forms is free without those limits on volume, so if volume is the constraint and a spreadsheet is an acceptable destination, it remains the honest answer.
- Can I move a form I already built somewhere else?
- You rebuild it rather than import it, and every comparison page has a section on what to check before switching. Existing responses stay where they are — nothing here reaches into another account to pull them across. For most forms the rebuild is minutes, because the field list is short; branching logic is the exception, and it has to be flattened rather than carried over.
