SurveyJS vs Typeform

SurveyJS is a set of JavaScript components for building surveys, quizzes, polls, and web forms, then storing responses and displaying results. Its free, open-source Form Library renders JSON-based forms in React, Angular, Vue, and plain JavaScript applications. It supports more than 20 question types, conditional logic, validation, multilingual forms, and right-to-left languages. Survey Creator provides a drag-and-drop designer that generates JSON schemas. Dashboard displays results through interactive charts, tables, word clouds, and aggregated statistics; PDF Generator creates editable PDF forms and exports submissions. The libraries run in a customer’s application and can connect to any backend or database. SurveyJS says it does not access, process, or store survey data; customers choose and manage their own data storage and protections. React, Angular, and Vue have native support, while jQuery uses a wrapper over the Vanilla JavaScript version. The Form Library is free, but Survey Creator, Dashboard, and PDF Generator require commercial licenses for production use. Commercial developer licenses are required for each developer working with those product APIs or implementing integrations.

Typeform is a web-based form builder and automation platform for surveys, quizzes, applications, polls, landing pages, and other ways to collect responses. Its no-code editor offers templates, AI-generated questions, conditional logic, and publishing by link, embed, or QR code. Typeform AI can create and revise questions, organize branching rules, improve writing, and translate forms. Workflow tools can qualify and route leads, notify teams, send follow-ups, create tasks, and start onboarding or feedback sequences. Insights Hub uses AI to surface response trends, outliers, sentiment, and themes. Forms can be embedded on websites and in emails, and the platform lists more than 300 app integrations. The Free plan is free and includes unlimited forms with 10 responses per month. Basic is $39 a month, or 28 USD/mo with annual billing, and includes 100 responses monthly for one user. On mobile, users can create AI forms, edit desktop-created forms, and publish them, but cannot add logic, change question settings or layouts, or create question groups. Typeform lists GDPR, SOC 2 Type II, ISO certifications, HIPAA, and encryption among its security measures.
