Features

Everything a form needs. Nothing metered.

Build with every feature for free, Premium ones included. Pay only when you want them live.

The experience

One question at a time, like a conversation.

Each screen asks one thing. Logic skips what doesn't apply, earlier answers come back by name, and every path lands on an ending you wrote.

  • Or every question on one page, when a form reads better that way
  • Conditional logic, drawn as a map you can read at a glance
  • Answer recall in titles, descriptions and endings
  • Hidden fields from the link, to track where people came from
  • As many endings as you need, or a redirect to your own page
  • Scores and totals that decide which ending someone sees
  • Descriptions with links, lists, video and pictures, and tooltips for extra help
  • A review screen to check every answer before submitting

Pricing that doesn't punish success

No response limits. On any plan.

Unlimited forms and unlimited responses, free or Premium. We charge for depth and polish, never for your form doing well.

  • All 24 question types on the free plan
  • File uploads and signatures up to 10 MB, free
  • Views, starts, completion rate and median time for every form

AI, where it helps Premium

Follow-ups that ask what a vague answer left out.

When an answer doesn't say enough, hootform asks one more question before moving on β€” on a condition you set, or when the answer reads as vague. Never required, and it never changes where the form goes next.

  • AI insights: the themes in your latest 50 responses, each backed by real quotes, with nothing that identifies a respondent sent
  • Build a form from a description, then edit it like any other. Ask for a quiz and it comes back scored, with the result on the last screen

Reading responses Premium

A forty-question response, read in a few lines.

Ask for a summary of any response and get a headline, a few sentences and the points worth acting on, each linked to the answer it came from. Summarize a whole page at once and the headlines line up in your responses table, so you know which ones to open.

  • Written when you ask, never just because a response came in
  • Every key point jumps straight to the answers behind it
  • Email addresses, phone numbers and files are never sent
  • Sealed with the form's own key when encryption is on
More on AI insights β†’
Privacy

The answers that identify someone stay sealed.

Turn on encryption for a form and its emails, phone numbers, contact details, addresses, dates, signatures, hidden fields and attached files are encrypted at rest under that form's own key. Delete the form and they're unreadable everywhere.

  • Encryption per form, on the free plan
  • Choices and ratings stay readable, so Insights can still count them
  • Password protection that signs everyone out when you change it
  • On Premium: require encryption org-wide, and delete responses on a schedule

Scores and calculations

Quizzes, lead scores and totals, worked out as people answer.

Give each answer its points, add up ratings, or multiply a quantity by a price. Send people to a different ending by their score, and show it to them before they leave.

  • Points per answer in a couple of clicks, for quizzes and assessments
  • Branch on a score: “at least 8” can have an ending of its own
  • Show the result on any screen with Insert answer
  • Every response keeps its score, in the table, CSV, Google Sheets and webhooks
  • On the free plan, like logic and recall

And everything else you'd expect

◐

Your look

Colors, fonts, corners and alignment per form, a picture or video on any screen, and a welcome screen.

β—‡

Templates

Feedback, hiring, events, sales and education forms, ready to publish or take apart. Or duplicate one of your own, settings and all.

≑

Responses table & CSV

Hide duplicates, export clean CSVs, or print any single response as a PDF. On Premium, read the responses people didn't finish.

β–¦

Google Sheets

Connect a Google account, choose Create a spreadsheet, and every completed response lands as a new row. Free on every plan.

⚑

Webhooks

Stop taking responses at a set time or after a number of completions β€” for events, applications and giveaways.

πŸ‘₯

Workspaces & roles

Organize forms into workspaces and invite your team as admins, editors or viewers.

β†Ί

Safe to edit together

If two people save the same form, nobody's work is overwritten: you choose which version to keep, and the other is saved.

⧉

Embed anywhere

Put a form in your own site inline, as a popup or a slider, or print it as a QR code for posters and tables.

⛨

Spam & bot protection

Bots are caught without a CAPTCHA, and keyboard-mashed answers are flagged so you can hide them. On every plan.

βŒ•

Find any response

Search every answer, filter with the same conditions as logic, and pick a date range. Share the view as a link.

Premium

What $19 a month adds.

One price for the whole organization β€” not per seat, not per response. It all switches on the moment you upgrade, including on forms you've already published.

✦

AI that does the legwork

Write the form, dig into answers, read the results.

  • Build a form with AI Describe it and get questions, choices and logic to edit, a scored quiz with its results screen, or follow-ups on the answers that matter. Nothing is saved until you like it.
  • Follow-up questions One more question when an answer is vague, or on a condition you set. Never required.
  • AI insights The themes in your latest 50 responses, each backed by real quotes. Nothing that identifies a respondent is sent.
  • Response summaries Any response in a few lines, with each key point linked to its answer. Summarize a whole page at once.
β—¨

See where people drop off

Every answer saves as it's given. Premium lets you read all of it.

  • Partial responses Read the responses people started and never finished.
  • Insights in depth Which question loses people, what was picked on every choice question, and averages for numbers and ratings.
  • Any date range Narrow Insights to the days you care about, like a campaign or a launch week.
◐

Your name, not ours

Forms that read as yours, from the first screen to the search result.

  • No "Powered by hootform" badge Gone from every screen of every form.
  • Your own wordmark or logo At the top of every screen, follow-ups included.
  • SEO & link previews Set the title and description shown in search results and shared links, or keep a form out of search.
  • More footer links Up to 10 of your own links under every screen, instead of 3.
  • Forms in several languages Translate a form yourself or with AI in one click. People get it in their own language, and can switch.
∞

Room for the whole team

More people, bigger files, and rules that hold across the organization.

  • Unlimited members No seat count and no per-seat price. Free organizations are 3 people.
  • Version history Every publish and editing session is kept. Open any version and restore it in one click, whoever changed what.
  • Bigger uploads Files up to 25 MB instead of 10 MB.
  • Automatic deletion Keep responses for a set number of days, then have them deleted, unfinished ones included.
  • Encryption, org-wide Require encrypted answers on every form, so no editor can turn it off on one.

Cancel and nothing breaks: your forms keep collecting, nobody is removed, and the Premium extras switch off at the end of the period you paid for.

How it works

From a blank page to your first responses.

No code, and no spreadsheets to glue together. Drafts save as you type, and respondents only ever see the version you publish, so you can keep improving a live form without anyone seeing it half-done.

Build it

Start blank, from a template, or describe what you need and let AI draft it on Premium. Add questions, logic, scores and your own design, and see each screen as you go, on desktop or a phone.

  • Templates
  • Logic map
  • Scores
  • Live preview

Share the link

Publish and send it anywhere, embed it in your site or print a QR code. Add ?source=newsletter to see where each response came from, and a password or a closing date if the form needs one.

  • Embed
  • QR code
  • Hidden fields
  • Password
  • Close conditions

Read the answers

Watch responses arrive with completion rate and time to finish, get an email for each one, have AI sum up the long ones on Premium, send each one to Google Sheets as it arrives, export a CSV, or post them to your own tools with a webhook.

  • Insights
  • Summaries
  • Notifications

Are responses really unlimited on the free plan?

Yes. Both plans include unlimited forms and responses, subject only to fair use to prevent abuse. We charge for depth and polish, not for your form doing well.

Is Premium priced per person?

No. $19 a month covers the whole organization, however many people are in it. Free covers up to 3 people.

What happens to my data if I cancel?

Nothing is deleted and nobody is removed. You keep the period you've paid for, your forms keep collecting responses, and the Premium behaviour simply stops applying β€” until you upgrade again, which switches it all back on with nothing to republish.

Can I build Premium features on the free plan?

You can build all of them. A free organization writes, saves and publishes exactly like a paid one; the difference shows when the form is served. So you can set a form up completely and decide about paying afterwards.

Can I undo changes to a form?

Yes. Every publish and every editing session is kept as a version, on every plan. Premium lets you open any of them and restore it in one click; discarding unpublished changes, and taking back what you just replaced, is free.

Do respondents need an account?

Never. Anyone with the link can fill in a form β€” and, if it's password protected, the password.

Does it work with Zapier or Make?

Yes, through webhooks, on every plan. Paste a Zapier or Make webhook address into the form's webhooks and every completed response arrives there as JSON. For a spreadsheet you don't need either: Google Sheets is built in.

Can I import my forms from Typeform?

Not yet. Start from one of the templates and adjust it, or, on Premium, describe the form and let AI draft it for you to edit.

Can I take payments in a form?

Not yet. An ending can redirect people to your own checkout page once they finish, carrying their answers in the link if you need them.

Can I use my own domain?

Not yet. Forms live at hootform.com, but you can embed one on your own site, inline or as a popup, so people never leave your domain.

Can I pay for a year up front?

No, Premium is billed monthly only, so you're never locked in. Cancel whenever you like and keep it until the end of the month you've paid for.

Can a form show every question on one page?

Yes, on every plan. Set its layout to all questions on one page and it reads like a paper form, with one Submit button. Logic still shows and hides questions as people answer, and every answer is saved as it's given.

How do I cancel?

From the billing page in your organization's settings, which opens the payment portal where your invoices and cards live. Cancelling takes effect at the end of the period you've paid for.

Your next form, finished.
