MakeFormsvsTypeform

Same conversational forms.
Not their pricing.

Both build forms. But Typeform charges $29/month for 100 responses. MakeForms gives you unlimited submissions from the same price plus HIPAA, multi-format forms, and custom domains.

Three things worth understanding

Where the real differences
show up.

Three Typeform limitations that come up most, shown side-by-side with what MakeForms does instead.

Typeform
$29/month. 100 responses. That's 3 a day.
Typeform's Basic plan at $29/month limits you to 100 total responses across all forms. Plus at $59/mo gets 1,000, and Business at $99/mo gets 10,000. Once the cap is hit, forms stop collecting responses.
"Response limits apply across all active forms in your workspace. When the monthly limit is reached, your forms will stop accepting new responses."
— Typeform support documentation
MakeForms
Unlimited responses from $29/month. No cap.
MakeForms has no monthly response limit on any paid plan. Essentials at $29/month, Pro at $69/month, Agency at $149/month, all unlimited.
  • Unlimited responses on Essentials, Pro, and Agency
  • No "form closed" error shown to respondents
  • Seasonal spikes and campaigns handled without upgrades
  • No per-response overage fees
Typeform
One form type. One experience. Every time.
Typeform is built around conversational, one-question-at-a-time forms. You cannot switch to all-fields-at-once layouts or multi-page step forms for forms that need those interaction styles.
MakeForms
Three form types. Use the right one for each job.
MakeForms supports conversational, step, and all-fields form layouts in the same account and builder.
  • Conversational one-question-at-a-time forms
  • Step forms with multiple fields per step
  • All-at-once forms with all fields visible
  • Same builder for all three formats
Typeform
HIPAA is Enterprise-only on Typeform.
Typeform makes HIPAA available only on Enterprise with custom pricing and sales contact. Basic, Plus, and Business plans do not include HIPAA access.
"HIPAA compliance is available exclusively on Typeform Enterprise plans."
— Typeform pricing documentation
MakeForms
HIPAA from $69/month. Self-serve.
MakeForms includes HIPAA BAA from the Pro plan at $69/month, with no enterprise negotiation required.
  • HIPAA BAA from Pro — $69/mo
  • Canadian data residency from Pro
  • OTP verification before submission
  • Keragon integration for HIPAA automation

The honest verdict

Which one is right
for your situation.

Typeform is a strong product, but fit depends on your constraints. Here's where each platform is strongest.

MakeForms
Teams running more than 100 form submissions a month
Typeform's entry plan caps at 100 responses per month. If your form volume exceeds that, MakeForms Essentials at $29/mo is the straightforward call.
→ MakeForms, unlimited from $29/mo
MakeForms
Healthcare and NGOs needing HIPAA without Enterprise pricing
Typeform requires Enterprise for HIPAA. MakeForms includes HIPAA BAA on the Pro plan at $69/month, self-serve.
→ MakeForms Pro at $69/mo
MakeForms
Teams that need different form formats for different use cases
Typeform does one thing: conversational. MakeForms supports conversational, multi-step, and all-fields forms in the same account.
→ MakeForms, 3 form types
MakeForms
Forms that need to run on your own domain
Typeform does not support custom domain hosting. MakeForms supports custom domain mapping on paid plans.
→ MakeForms only
Typeform
Brand-forward surveys where design polish is the primary requirement
If visual survey polish is the single priority and response volume is low, Typeform still delivers a refined product.
→ Typeform is well-polished here
Typeform
Teams already deeply embedded in the Typeform ecosystem
If migration cost is high and your current setup is stable, staying can be practical until pain justifies a move.
→ Typeform if switching cost is prohibitive

FAQ

Questions people ask
before switching.

Is MakeForms a good Typeform alternative?+

Yes — particularly for teams that need more than 100 responses per month at entry pricing, multiple form types, HIPAA compliance without Enterprise pricing, or custom domain hosting. MakeForms matches Typeform's conversational form experience and adds step forms and all-fields forms alongside it.

Why does Typeform only allow 100 submissions at $29/mo?+

Typeform's Basic plan at $29/month limits responses to 100 per month across all your forms combined. To get 1,000 responses per month, you need Plus at $59/month. To get 10,000, you need Business at $99/month. MakeForms includes unlimited responses on all paid plans starting at $29/month.

Does Typeform have HIPAA compliance?+

Only on Enterprise — custom pricing, requires a sales call. Typeform's Basic, Plus, and Business plans have no HIPAA access. MakeForms includes HIPAA BAA from the Pro plan at $69/month, self-serve.

Can I use multiple form types on Typeform?+

No. Typeform only supports conversational, one-question-at-a-time forms. MakeForms supports all three: conversational, step forms, and all-at-once — in the same account.

Does Typeform support custom domains?+

No. Typeform forms are hosted on typeform.com. There is no option to publish forms on your own domain on any Typeform plan. MakeForms supports custom domain mapping on paid plans.

Is there a free Typeform alternative?+

MakeForms offers a free plan with unlimited forms and core features. The paid Essentials plan at $29/month includes unlimited submissions — compared to Typeform's $29/month plan, which caps at 100 responses.

Can I verify email or phone numbers in Typeform?+

No. Typeform does not provide OTP-based verification of email or mobile number. MakeForms includes verified submissions, where respondents confirm their email or phone number with an OTP before the form submits.

How long does migrating from Typeform take?+

Most teams rebuild their forms in MakeForms within a day using the AI form builder. For complex multi-step forms or full workflow setups, the Concierge service has our team build everything inside your account.
