Forminit vs Quill Forms

Forminit is a headless form backend API for developers who want to build their own form interface and send submissions to a service for processing. It handles server-side validation, storage, notifications, file uploads, webhooks, spam controls, and integrations. Validation covers typed fields such as email, phone, URL, date, rating, and country code formats. Individual uploads can be up to 25 MB, while the Free plan includes 100 MB of file storage. The JavaScript SDK captures marketing attribution details, and listed integrations include Google Sheets, Zapier, Make, Slack, Discord, and custom webhooks. Forminit lists support for web frameworks, site builders, WordPress, and mobile submissions through its plain HTTP API. The Free plan costs nothing and allows one form, 100 submissions per month, and an unlimited submission archive. Pro is $16 a month, billed $190 billed yearly; Business is $50 a month, billed $594 billed yearly. Yearly plans cost $190 a year and $594 a year, respectively. Forminit states that data is hosted in AWS Ireland, encrypted at rest and in transit, and that it complies with GDPR and UK GDPR.

Quill Forms creates conversational forms that show one question at a time for forms, surveys, and quizzes. It supports payment collection, file uploads, multiple embed options, and 41 native integrations, including Google Sheets, Airtable, webhooks, Zapier, HubSpot, and Slack. Jump Logic routes respondents according to prior answers, while Calculator handles quotes, scores, and totals. Save & Continue lets respondents pause and return through a continuation link, including on another device. Form Locker adds password protection and access expiration, and reCAPTCHA helps prevent spam. The open-source WordPress plugin runs on a user’s site with unlimited forms and responses on its free plan. Studio is a hosted option without WordPress. Studio Free allows 50 responses per month; paid Studio tiers cost 9.00 USD, 19.00 USD, and $39 a year for 500, 5,000, and 20,000 monthly responses. WordPress plans cost 99.00, 199.00, or $399 a year.
