Fillout
Form builder with a free plan of 1,000 responses a month, logic, calculations, payments and PDF output.
Fillout's security page describes the service as 'Fillout (by Zite)'2.
In short
- The free plan allows 1,000 responses a month, with unlimited seats1.
- Starter costs $15 a month billed yearly ($180 a year) and allows 2,000 responses1.
- Conditional logic, calculations, file uploads, payments and PDF output are on every plan; signatures start on Starter1,5.
- Fillout says it is SOC 2 Type 2 compliant2.
- EU hosting for submissions needs the Team plan or above, at $300 a month or $3,000 a year10,11,12.
Fillout suits people who want logic, calculations, Stripe payments and PDF output without paying, since all are on the free plan1,6,7. Free responses are 1,000 a month1. The catch: signatures need Starter, EU data storage needs the $300-a-month Team plan, and no HIPAA support or published DPA appears on its pages1,5,11,12.
Best for: Teams that want logic and payments on a free plan of 1,000 responses.
