--- title: Paperform canonical: https://saasranked.com/software/paperform/ category: Form Builder Software points: 70 rank: 8 of 11 facts_checked: 2026-10-08 --- # Paperform Form builder with payments on every plan and a permanent free plan capped at 30 submissions a month. 70 points out of 100. #8 of 11 form builders. Vendor: Paperform. Website: https://paperform.co/ - The free plan allows 30 submissions a month [1]. - Pro costs $49 a month billed yearly, or $59 billed monthly, with unlimited submissions under fair use [1]. - Payments run through Stripe, Square, Braintree and PayPal Business on every plan, including Free [1]. - Paperform says it holds SOC 2 Type II compliance but does not sign HIPAA business associate agreements [1][3]. - EU or Australian hosting is offered only on the custom-quote Enterprise plan [1]. Verdict: Paperform suits small businesses that take payments, signatures and bookings in one form, and it lets you start on a free plan [1]. Pro adds calculations, PDF output and webhooks at $49 a month billed yearly [1]. The catch: the free plan stops at 30 submissions a month, there is no HIPAA support, and EU hosting needs a custom-quote plan [1]. Best for: People who sell or take bookings through forms. ## Points | Criterion | Line | Value | Points | Note | |---|---|---|---|---| | Free plan | Free plan | Yes | 6/6 | The pricing page calls the Free plan permanent, not a trial [1]. | | Free plan | Submissions on the free plan | 30 | 0/6 | Free plan lists 30 submissions a month [1]. | | Building forms | Conditional logic | Yes | 8/8 | Show and hide questions and content; listed on all plans [1]. | | Building forms | Calculated fields | Yes | 4/4 | Calculations from answers are listed on Pro, Business and Enterprise [1]. | | Building forms | File upload field | Yes | 5/5 | File uploads on all plans, with 100 MB of storage on Free [1]. | | Building forms | Multi-page forms | Yes | 3/3 | Multi-page forms are listed on all plans [1]. | | Building forms | Save and resume later | Yes | 4/4 | Respondents can return and complete forms later; listed on all plans [1]. | | Building forms | Signature field | Yes | 5/5 | Respondents can draw their signature on a form; listed on all plans [1]. | | Payments and data | Online payments | Yes | 5/5 | Payments are available on every plan [1]. | | Payments and data | Payment processors | Stripe, PayPal, Square | 6/6 | Pricing page names Stripe, Square, Braintree and PayPal Business [1]. | | Payments and data | Answers as PDF | Yes | 4/4 | Pro and above auto-generate custom PDFs from submissions [1]. | | Payments and data | Built-in connections | Google Sheets, Zapier, Webhooks | 6/6 | Google Sheets listed as a direct integration [2]; Zapier on all plans, webhooks on Pro and above [1]. | | Privacy and compliance | HIPAA support | No | 0/8 | Paperform says it is not HIPAA compliant and does not sign business associate agreements [1]. | | Privacy and compliance | SOC 2 Type II or ISO 27001 | Yes | 5/5 | Pricing page says the tools are SOC 2 Type II compliant; a help article confirms it [1][3]. | | Privacy and compliance | GDPR data processing agreement | Not published | 0/4 | Not published on the vendor's pages [1][4]; the GDPR article points to its Trust Centre for DPA information. | | Privacy and compliance | EU data storage | No | 0/3 | EU or Australian hosting is offered only on the quote-only Enterprise plan [1]. | | Price | Submissions on cheapest paid plan | 1000000 | 6/6 | Pro, the cheapest paid plan, has unlimited submissions under fair use [1]. | | Price | Cheapest paid plan | $49/mo | 3/12 | Pro, $49 a month billed yearly [1]. | ## Plans | Plan | Price | Per month (USD) | |---|---|---| | Free | Free [1] | $0 | | Pro | $49/month billed yearly [1] | $49 | | Business | $124/month billed yearly [1] | $124 | | Enterprise | Custom quote [1] | - | Month-to-month billing costs $59 for Pro and $149 for Business [1]. ## Strengths - Conditional logic, multi-page forms, save and resume, file upload and signatures are on every plan, including Free [1]. - Payments work on every plan through Stripe, Square, Braintree and PayPal Business [1]. - Pro and Business have unlimited submissions, subject to fair use [1]. - Names SOC 2 Type II compliance on its pricing page [1][3]. ## Limits - The free plan allows only 30 submissions a month [1]. - Calculations and PDF generation need Pro or higher [1]. - Paperform says it is not HIPAA compliant and does not sign business associate agreements [1]. - Data is stored in the United States by default; EU hosting is Enterprise only [1]. ## Vendor claims (not scored) - Paperform says its tools are SOC 2 Type II compliant on every plan [1]. ## Sources 1.
