Wufoo vs Fillout
Hello! Looking for a new form builder? If so, you probably want to know if Fillout is a good fit - we wanted to make that process a bit easier.
If you like the simplicity of Wufoo Forms but want sleeker designs and smarter features, this guide is for you. Let's dive in.
Comparing the free plans

Wufoo's free plan is pretty limited - you get a reasonable number of submissions (100/month on up to 5 forms), but you can't use any of the advanced features like calculations, answer piping, webhooks or conditional logic. Fillout, on the other hand, offers most of these capabilities for free and has more aesthetic form designs.
Fillout offers all the basics to build and scale your forms on the free plan. What's more, if you sign up you'll have lifetime access to the free plan features - no strings attached. Learn more about the Fillout free plan and pricing here.

How do the products compare?
Pricing isn't everything. If you've previously used Wufoo, you probably want to know: can Fillout really replace Wufoo?

Ok, but what about advanced features?

Fillout offers two primary paid tiers, a starter tier for $15/month and a business tier for $75/month (paid annually). More details on the Fillout pricing page.
