The Free Fillout Alternative With Unlimited Responses
FormNX is a free Fillout alternative with unlimited responses on every plan, including free. Fillout meters what you collect - 1,000 responses a month on its free plan, 2,000 on Starter, 5,000 on Pro - and lifts the cap only on its ~$75-89/mo Business plan. FormNX never counts your responses, and it ships the features teams actually use every day. Build with the drag-and-drop editor, AI form generation or 1,000+ templates, then add conditional logic, multi-step pages, scored quizzes and a countdown timer. Collect payments through Stripe, PayPal or Razorpay, capture e-signatures on the free plan, and send branded PDFs automatically. Keep the data clean with reCAPTCHA, plus email OTP verification and disposable-email blocking on the Pro plan - then share or embed the form anywhere, without planning around a response counter.

Common reasons people leave
Why People Switch From Fillout
The response meter runs out before the month does
What it costs you: Fillout counts every response against a monthly allowance: 1,000 on free, 2,000 on Starter, 5,000 on Pro. A campaign that performs well is the thing that breaks your plan. Your forms keep collecting past the quota, but you are then choosing between upgrading, buying extra submissions, or waiting for the counter to reset.
Unlimited responses cost roughly $75-89 a month
What it costs you: Removing the cap entirely means the Business plan, at roughly $75-89 a month depending on billing cycle. That is the price of volume alone, before you weigh up any of the features bundled with it.
Getting your own brand back takes the ~$40-49 Pro plan
What it costs you: The free plan carries a Fillout badge, and Starter still shows what Fillout calls "light branding". A completely unbranded form starts on Pro, around $40-49 a month. A custom domain waits until Business.
E-signatures are not on the free plan
What it costs you: Signature collection begins on Starter. If you are on free and need a signed agreement - a client contract, a consent form, a waiver - that is a paid upgrade before you can send it.
Email OTP verification lives in a paid add-on
What it costs you: Fillout does offer email and SMS OTP, but only inside the Conversion Kit, an add-on charged on top of whatever plan you are on. Its price is not published on the pricing page, so budgeting for verified emails means asking first. There is also no disposable-email blocking.
Seeing where people drop off needs the Business plan
What it costs you: Fillout saves respondent progress automatically on every plan, which is genuinely useful. But viewing those in-progress submissions, along with form analytics and conversion tracking, is reserved for Business - so on free, Starter or Pro you cannot see who abandoned your form or where.
"FormNX offers an incredibly intuitive interface that makes form creation seamless and efficient. Its vast array of customization options allows for the creation of forms that perfectly align with my brand's aesthetic. Above all, what sets FormNX apart is its customer support team."
FormNX's approach
How FormNX Solves What Fillout Doesn't
Response Limits and the Free Plan
A monthly allowance on every plan but the top one.
Fillout meters responses by the month: 1,000 on free, 2,000 on Starter, 5,000 on Pro. Unlimited responses only arrive on Business, at roughly $75-89 a month. Fillout handles the overage kindly - your forms keep collecting, and you can upgrade, buy extra submissions, or wait for the reset - but the ceiling is still there, and a campaign that works well is what pushes you into it.
FormNX
No meter, on any plan.
FormNX does not count responses. The free plan gives you unlimited forms and unlimited responses, and so does every paid plan. Collect 500 in a month or 500,000 on the same plan. Upgrading buys you features, workspaces and PDF credits - never permission to collect more. If you want a cap you can set one deliberately with a response limit, rather than inheriting one from your billing tier.
What It Costs to Put Your Own Brand on the Form
Full branding removal starts at the Pro plan.
The free plan shows a Fillout badge. Starter, at roughly $15-19 a month, still carries what Fillout calls "light branding". A completely unbranded form starts on Pro, around $40-49 a month, and running it on your own domain waits until Business.
FormNX
Every FormNX mark gone from about $15 a month.
The entry FormNX Pro plan is around $15 a month and removes all FormNX branding - roughly a third of what the equivalent Fillout tier costs. That plan also includes unlimited responses, e-signatures, native payments, the PDF builder, custom CSS/JS and email OTP, so branding removal is not the only thing the upgrade buys. See white-label forms.
E-Signatures and Branded PDFs
Signatures from Starter; PDFs one at a time.
Fillout collects signatures from the Starter plan upwards, so a free account cannot take a signed agreement at all. It does generate PDFs and can attach them to emails, which is genuinely useful - but there is no bulk export, so producing a few hundred certificates or receipts means downloading them one by one.
FormNX
Sign, generate and send - one connected flow.
FormNX includes an e-signature field on every plan, free included. On paid plans the rest of the document flow connects itself: the drag-and-drop PDF builder turns each response into a branded document, the respondent's signature embeds into it automatically, the finished PDF attaches to your notification and auto-response emails, and you can export hundreds at once as a ZIP. One form can take a deposit, capture a signature and email back a branded PDF.
Data Quality: Verification, Throwaway Emails and Duplicates
OTP is an add-on; no temp-mail block, no duplicate check.
Fillout does offer email and SMS OTP, but only through its Conversion Kit - a paid add-on charged on top of your plan, with no price published on the pricing page. It can also block free providers like Gmail and Yahoo to force business emails, which is a different job from blocking disposable addresses, and it has no duplicate-submission check, so the same person can submit repeatedly.
FormNX
Verification and de-duplication in the plan you already pay for.
FormNX includes email OTP verification and one-click disposable-email blocking on the Pro plan, with no add-on to buy. Duplicate-submission prevention by IP address or a chosen field is on the free plan, alongside reCAPTCHA and password protection.
Timed Tests, Photo Capture and Age Checks
No timer, no camera field, no age verification.
Fillout has no in-form countdown, so a timed quiz or exam is out of reach. There is no camera-capture field either - photos arrive as ordinary file uploads, which is awkward for ID checks or proof-of-delivery. And there is no dedicated age-verification setting, so eligibility rules have to be assembled from a date field and logic.
FormNX
Timer, camera and age checks - all built in.
Each one is a native FormNX feature, not a workaround. The form timer (Pro plan) runs a countdown across the whole form or page by page and submits automatically at zero. The Take Photo field (free plan) opens the device camera inside the form, with front and back switching and retake - see all form fields. And age verification is a dedicated setting, including an "age as of a cutoff date" option for real eligibility rules.
Seeing Who Abandoned Your Form
Saves progress for everyone, shows it to Business plans.
Fillout autosaves respondent progress on every plan, so people can return and finish - a nice touch, though it only works in the same browser and device, and not in private windows. Seeing those in-progress submissions yourself, along with form analytics and drop-off rates, is reserved for the Business plan at roughly $75-89 a month.
FormNX
Abandoned-form data on the entry paid plan.
FormNX shows partial submissions on the Pro plan from around $15 a month: who started, what they had entered and where they stopped. Respondents can also save a draft and finish later, and response reports and charts summarise what came in.
"There are super features in this form creator. They REALLY took a lot of time to create a fantastic program. I was using another form creator but switching a lot of my forms to this application. The tech support is amazing."

FormNX vs Fillout: Detailed Comparison
Pricing and the Free Plan
Fillout prices by response volume. Free covers 1,000 responses a month with unlimited forms and unlimited seats. Starter is roughly $15-19 a month for 2,000, Pro roughly $40-49 for 5,000, and Business roughly $75-89 for unlimited. In each range the lower number is the annual rate and the higher is month to month. Its free plan is genuinely one of the better ones in this category - the question is only what happens when you outgrow it.
FormNX has a free plan with unlimited forms and unlimited responses, and an entry Pro plan at around $15 a month that removes all branding and adds e-signatures, payments, the PDF builder, email OTP and disposable-email blocking. Higher Pro tiers and the Agency plans from about $49 add workspaces, PDF credits and client management. Responses stay unlimited on all of them, so an upgrade never buys volume.
Response Limits, Compared Directly
This is the difference that matters most for anyone already looking. Fillout caps monthly responses on three of its four public tiers, and lifting the cap costs roughly $75-89 a month. FormNX has no response cap on any plan, including free. For a form running 6,000 submissions a month - a busy lead form, a school enrolment window, a popular event - Fillout puts you on Business, while on FormNX the same volume runs on the free plan.
It is worth being precise about the failure mode: Fillout does not shut your form off when you cross the line. Responses keep arriving, and you top up or wait for the monthly reset. It is a billing decision rather than an outage. But it is a decision you have to keep making, and it arrives exactly when a form is doing well.
E-Signatures, Payments and PDFs
Fillout starts signature collection on Starter, so free accounts cannot take a signed agreement. Payments work on every plan including free, with no added fee from Fillout itself - though Stripe is the processor supported natively inside the form, while PayPal or Square may need Zapier or a workflow setup. PDF generation is included across the board and PDFs can be attached to emails - both genuine strengths. There is no bulk PDF export.
FormNX includes an e-signature field on every plan including free. Payments run through native Stripe, PayPal and Razorpay - PayPal and Razorpay on paid plans, and Stripe also on free with a 7.5% Stripe Connect fee. On paid plans the FormNX platform fee is 0%, so you pay only the processor's own charges. The drag-and-drop PDF builder then maps response data into a branded document from 100+ templates, and exports in bulk. You can also try the free signature generator before building anything.
Integrations and Where Your Data Lives
Fillout is strong here and deserves credit for it. Its native and partner integrations cover Airtable, Notion, HubSpot, Salesforce, Google Sheets, Slack, Discord, Mailchimp, Calendly, Stripe, Square, Zapier, Make and webhooks - and its standout capability is writing responses directly into your own database, updating existing Airtable or Notion records and handling linked tables. Reviewers describe that sync as seamless, and FormNX does not match it. Fillout also bundles appointment scheduling, which FormNX does not offer.
FormNX connects natively to Google Sheets, Mailchimp, Slack, Discord, Stripe, PayPal, Razorpay and webhooks - and those webhooks also connect 1,000+ more apps through Zapier, Pabbly and Make. If your workflow is built around Airtable or Notion as the system of record, Fillout is the better fit and we would rather say so than pretend otherwise.
Logic, Quizzes and Form Building
Both tools are capable here, and Fillout's builder is well reviewed - its drag-and-drop editor is one of the most consistently praised things about it. Both include an AI form builder on their free plans, both support conditional logic, calculations and answer piping, both offer voice-recording questions, and both support multilingual forms with a language selector for respondents.
Where FormNX adds range is in the exam and assessment direction: scored quiz mode with auto-grading, the form timer with whole-form and per-page countdowns, field-level conditional logic, multi-step forms with per-page validation, and a multi-column layout that is not restricted to two columns or to particular field types.
Where FormNX Fits Among Fillout Alternatives
Most round-ups of Fillout alternatives sort into three groups. Free-first tools like Tally and Google Forms remove the response cap but give up branded PDFs and deeper workflows, and their payment options are narrower - Stripe only in Tally's case, and nothing native in Google Forms. Landing-page builders like Heyflow compete on the page around the form rather than the form itself. Workflow platforms pitch themselves at teams who want the form to trigger an internal process.
FormNX sits where most people leaving Fillout actually land. Responses are unlimited on every plan including free, so the meter disappears entirely. Branding removal costs around $15 a month instead of $40-49, the e-signature field is on the free plan, and email OTP and disposable-email blocking are included rather than sold as an add-on. On top of that come the things Fillout does not have at all: a form timer, camera photo capture, age verification, duplicate-submission prevention and bulk PDF export. If your responses need to live inside Airtable or Notion, or you need scheduling in the same product, stay with Fillout. If you are tired of pricing your forms by the response, FormNX is the more direct answer. You can also compare us with Typeform, Jotform and Paperform.
Where the difference shows up
Forms That Are Easier to Run on FormNX Than Fillout
Each of these runs into a specific Fillout limit - a cap, a plan gate, or a feature that is not there.
A lead form that takes off
The limit: 1,000 responses a month on free, 5,000 on Pro. Success is what breaks the plan.
In FormNX: responses are unlimited on every plan, so a good month costs the same as a quiet one.
A timed online test
The limit: Fillout has no in-form countdown timer.
In FormNX: the form timer counts down across the whole test or page by page, auto-submits at zero, and pairs with auto-graded quiz mode.
ID or KYC verification
The limit: no camera-capture field, so a photo has to be taken elsewhere and uploaded as a file.
In FormNX: the Take Photo field opens the camera inside the form - on the free plan - with flip and retake.
A signed agreement on a free account
The limit: signature collection begins on Starter.
In FormNX: the e-signature field is on every plan including free, and embeds into a branded PDF on paid plans.
An age-restricted signup
The limit: no dedicated age check, so rules get built from a date field plus logic.
In FormNX: age verification is native, with minimum and maximum ages and an "age as of a cutoff date" option.
Hundreds of certificates or receipts
The limit: no bulk PDF export - documents download one at a time.
In FormNX: build the PDF once, then export every matching submission as a ZIP delivered by email.

- No form timer, camera capture, age verification, duplicate check or bulk PDF export at any price

- Free (unlimited forms & responses) $0
- Pro plans (branding removed; higher tiers add workspaces & PDF credits) from ~$15/mo
- Agency (50 to unlimited client workspaces) from ~$49/mo

- You want unlimited responses without paying roughly $75-89/month for the privilege
- You are close to, or already past, Fillout's 1,000-a-month free ceiling

- You need a signature field on a free plan, not from Starter upwards
- You want email OTP verification and disposable-email blocking included, not sold as an add-on

- You rely on a native Salesforce or HubSpot connection rather than going through Zapier or Make
- You need a specific hosting region (USA, EU, UK, Australia or Canada), SSO or audit logs on an enterprise contract

FormNX vs Fillout: FAQs
-
Is Fillout free?
Yes, Fillout has a real free plan, and it is more generous than most: 1,000 responses a month, unlimited forms, unlimited seats, payments, API access and its AI builder. The catch is the ceiling. Once you pass 1,000 responses in a month you upgrade, buy extra submissions, or wait for the counter to reset - and the free plan shows a Fillout badge, with e-signatures reserved for paid plans. FormNX's free plan has no response ceiling at all: unlimited forms and unlimited responses, plus an e-signature field, duplicate-submission prevention and camera photo capture on the free plan.
-
What is the best free alternative to Fillout?
If the response cap is what pushed you to look, FormNX is the closest like-for-like swap. Its free plan has unlimited forms and unlimited responses with no monthly ceiling. It also includes an e-signature field, native Stripe payments (with a 7.5% Stripe Connect fee on free), duplicate-submission prevention and a Take Photo camera field, all without paying. Tally and Google Forms also remove the cap, but they trade away branded PDFs and deeper workflows - and Google Forms has no native payments at all, while Tally is limited to Stripe. Among free Fillout alternatives, FormNX is the one that keeps the workflow features while dropping the meter.
-
How much does Fillout cost?
Fillout has four public tiers plus Enterprise. Starter is roughly $15-19 a month for 2,000 responses, Pro roughly $40-49 a month for 5,000 responses and full branding removal, and Business roughly $75-89 a month for unlimited responses, a custom domain, analytics and custom code. In each range the lower figure is the annual rate and the higher is month-to-month, and Enterprise is custom-priced. FormNX's entry Pro plan is about $15 a month with unlimited responses, and every FormNX plan has unlimited responses including free. Check fillout.com/pricing for current numbers.
-
Does Fillout have a response limit?
Yes. Fillout meters responses monthly on every plan except Business: 1,000 a month on free, 2,000 on Starter and 5,000 on Pro. Unlimited responses start on the Business plan at roughly $75-89 a month. Fillout handles the overage gracefully - your forms keep collecting past the quota, and you can upgrade, purchase bulk submissions, or wait for the monthly reset. FormNX does not meter responses at all: every plan, including the free one, is unlimited, so upgrading buys you features and workspaces rather than more volume.
-
Does Fillout have e-signatures?
Yes, but not on the free plan. Signature collection starts on Fillout's Starter tier, roughly $15-19 a month. FormNX includes an e-signature field on every plan including free, and on paid plans that signature is embedded automatically into the branded PDF generated from each response - so a signed agreement, a deposit payment and a PDF copy can all come from a single form.
-
Does Fillout have a form timer?
No. Fillout has no in-form countdown timer, so timed quizzes, exams and assessments are not something it can run on its own. FormNX includes a form timer on the Pro plan with two modes: a whole-form countdown that submits automatically when time runs out, and a per-page timer that advances each page on its own clock. The countdown is visible to the respondent throughout and works on public forms.
-
What is the difference between Fillout and FormNX?
Fillout is an all-in-one data-intake platform - forms, scheduling, PDFs, payments, workflows and signatures - and its standout strength is writing responses straight into your own database, with native two-way sync to Airtable, Notion and SmartSuite plus dozens of native and partner integrations and unlimited seats on every plan. Its trade-off is the response meter: 1,000 a month on free, 2,000 on Starter, 5,000 on Pro, and unlimited only on Business at roughly $75-89. FormNX is a full no-code form builder with unlimited responses on every plan including free, an e-signature field on free, native payments, a drag-and-drop PDF builder, email OTP and disposable-email blocking on Pro, a form timer, camera photo capture and age verification. Choose Fillout for database-native storage, scheduling and unlimited seats; choose FormNX if you would rather not pay for volume.
-
Why do people switch from Fillout to FormNX?
Volume is the usual trigger. A form that performs well eats the monthly allowance, and removing the cap means the Business plan at roughly $75-89 a month. The other common reasons are cost of ownership - full branding removal needs Fillout's Pro plan at about $40-49 while FormNX removes it from around $15 - and features Fillout does not have: a form timer, camera photo capture, age verification, duplicate-submission prevention, bulk PDF export and disposable-email blocking. Teams also move to get email OTP verification included in their plan rather than buying it as an add-on, and to see abandoned submissions without upgrading to a top tier.
-
Is FormNX better than Fillout?
It depends on what is constraining you. Fillout is a strong product with a well-liked builder and a 4.6 out of 5 rating from 30 G2 reviews. It also has unlimited seats on every plan and database-native storage that FormNX does not match. If responses need to land inside Airtable or Notion records, or you need built-in scheduling, Fillout is the better tool. FormNX is the better choice when volume is the problem, because responses are unlimited on every plan including free. It also covers what Fillout lacks: a form timer, camera photo capture, age verification, duplicate-submission prevention, bulk PDF export, and email OTP without a paid add-on - usually at a lower monthly cost.
-
How do I switch from Fillout to FormNX?
Export your submissions from Fillout's Results view as CSV or Excel, then rebuild the form in FormNX using the drag-and-drop builder, the AI builder or a template. Publish the new link or embed and redirect your old Fillout URLs. There is no automatic importer, but our team will rebuild your existing Fillout forms for free when you upgrade to a paid plan - send us the form URL and most are live within 24 hours.
