Paperform
Form builder with payments on every plan and a permanent free plan capped at 30 submissions a month.
In short
- The free plan allows 30 submissions a month1.
- Pro costs $49 a month billed yearly, or $59 billed monthly, with unlimited submissions under fair use1.
- Payments run through Stripe, Square, Braintree and PayPal Business on every plan, including Free1.
- Paperform says it holds SOC 2 Type II compliance but does not sign HIPAA business associate agreements1,3.
- EU or Australian hosting is offered only on the custom-quote Enterprise plan1.
Paperform suits small businesses that take payments, signatures and bookings in one form, and it lets you start on a free plan1. Pro adds calculations, PDF output and webhooks at $49 a month billed yearly1. The catch: the free plan stops at 30 submissions a month, there is no HIPAA support, and EU hosting needs a custom-quote plan1.
Best for: People who sell or take bookings through forms.
