Jotform vs Paperless Forms

Jotform is a web and mobile form and workflow platform with products including Form Builder, Jotform Apps, Tables, Inbox, Mobile App, Sign, Workflows, and AI Agents. Forms support quizzes, payment collection, file uploads, multiple embed options, conditional logic, API access, and document templates. Jotform lists integrations for CRM, storage, payments, email, and automations, and advertises more than 150 integrations on its homepage. The free Starter plan costs nothing and includes five forms, 100 monthly submissions, 100 MB upload space, 1,000 monthly form views, 500 stored submissions, and 10 monthly payment submissions. Starter forms and signed documents carry Jotform branding, and raising the plan limits requires an upgrade. Bronze costs $39 a month; subscriptions are available monthly or yearly and renew automatically unless canceled. Jotform says it uses Google Cloud and AWS and complies with GDPR and CCPA. HIPAA features are available on Gold and Enterprise, while Enterprise is the only multiuser plan and includes enhanced security, custom domains, and SSO.

Paperless Forms is a cloud-based form builder for making HR, registration, employment application, survey, contact, and payment forms.

Users can review responses and download data as Excel or CSV files. Listed features include branding controls, electronic signature fields, PDF attachments, internal notes, reusable templates, and payment collection. Integrations cover CRM, email marketing, project management, and cloud storage software.
