Does the job

24/25

Six sections: Forms, Tables, Reports, Approvals, Apps and Sign Documents. Every form fills a table automatically, tables turn straight into reports, and Apps bundles it all into one. Thousands of templates cover almost anything.

The Jotform form editor, with every element prebuilt. Screenshot from our test.

Easy to use

19/20

Options are laid out in order and one thing leads to the next. It feels like a child could build a workflow start to finish, and descriptions sit beside every setting. Docked a point for [REASON].

Building a workflow, with descriptions on each step. Screenshot from our test.

Value for money

18/20

Wins on price against PandaDoc: a generous free tier and more in-between plans. The catch is the free tier capped you at 5 forms when we tested, and extra users need the premium plans.

Speed and reliability

14/15

Lightning fast through the whole workflow, even with data loaded. Docked a point because the status page showed a few hiccups in the months before testing.

Plays well with others

10/10

150+ integrations, far ahead of PandaDoc. Every form also fills a table you can turn into dashboards, digest emails, Excel and CSV exports, or calendar listings.

Support and trust

9/10

Forums, webinars, documentation and customer service. HIPAA compliance is available on the higher plans.

Questions buyers ask

Is Jotform HIPAA compliant?

Yes, on its higher-priced plans when we tested. Check which plans include it before you buy: [CHECK].

Can more than one person use a Jotform account?

Only on the premium plans when we tested. Lower plans are one user. If you need lots of seats cheaply, PandaDoc includes unlimited seats.

Can Jotform take payments?
