Bottom line: Typeform’s free plan is generous with building and stingy with collecting. You can create unlimited forms with real logic, an AI form builder, and core integrations at $0 — but you can only collect 10 responses per month across all of your forms combined. Free Typeform is a way to learn the tool and test a form, not to run one. Compare the more generous free plans in our Jotform review and Tally review before paying.
What is Typeform?
Typeform is the form builder that shows one question at a time, so a survey feels like a conversation instead of a spreadsheet. Its AI angle is Typeform AI: describe the form you want, and its chatbot drafts it for you — included on the free plan, per Typeform’s own Help Center.
What is actually free on Typeform?
Per Typeform’s Help Center (checked November 12, 2026), the Free plan includes:
- Unlimited typeforms: create as many forms as you like.
- 10 responses per month across all your forms — 10 unique submissions in total, not 10 per form.
- Logic, including question display rules, scores, and variables, so respondents see different questions based on their answers.
- Typeform AI form creation: describe the form and let the AI build it.
- Embedding, custom Endings, URL parameters, results export to a spreadsheet, and basic reports and metrics.
- Core integrations, including Zapier, Google Sheets, Slack, Mailchimp, Calendly, and Airtable.
Pairing the plan with an automation tool like the one in our Zapier free plan review stretches those 10 responses further than you’d expect.
What the pricing page doesn’t make obvious
The detail most coverage misses: Typeform’s pricing page never prints the free plan’s response number. Its FAQ says only that the free plan includes “a limited number of responses per month.” The actual figure — 10 per month, shared across every form in your account — appears only in the Help Center’s Free plan article, which also warns that Typeform is currently running pricing experiments, so the limits in your own account may differ.
Two more documented catches. If you build with a paid feature, your form enters “trial mode”: it cannot publish or collect with that feature until you upgrade or remove it — and paid-only integrations cannot be tested at all. And unused responses do not roll over, and deleting responses does not give them back. At the cap, forms stop accepting responses until the next month or an upgrade.
Free vs paid: what do you actually gain by upgrading?
| Plan | Price | Responses / month | What changes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | 10, across all forms | Unlimited forms, logic, AI builder, core integrations; Typeform branding stays |
| Basic | $28/mo billed yearly ($39 monthly) | 100 | Payment question, file uploads, partial responses |
| Plus | $56/mo billed yearly ($79 monthly) | 1,000 | More responses and room for a small team |
Also paid-only, per the Help Center’s own list: removing Typeform branding, custom domains, redirects after submit, video questions and answers, signature questions, follow-up emails, automated lead scoring and routing, drop-off analysis, and multi-user team collaboration.
Pros and cons of Typeform’s free plan
Pros
- The full builder is free: unlimited forms, real branching logic, scores, and multiple endings.
- Typeform AI form creation is included at $0, which most rivals reserve for paid tiers.
- Useful integrations (Sheets, Slack, Zapier, Mailchimp) work on the free plan.
- No credit card needed — just an email address.
Cons
- 10 responses a month across all forms is a test budget, not a working one.
- Branding stays on every free form; file uploads and payments are paid-only.
- Trial mode means a form built with paid features silently cannot collect.
- The free limit is not stated on the pricing page, and Typeform warns it experiments with plans.
Who is Typeform’s free plan best for?
Typeform’s free plan is best for evaluating the builder itself: prototyping a quiz, testing question flow with a few colleagues, or feeling the one-question-at-a-time experience before committing. It is not built for a live lead form or a real survey — 10 responses disappear in a day of real traffic. If collecting for free is the actual job, Jotform’s free Starter plan (100 submissions a month) or Tally’s free plan are more practical.
Verdict: a genuinely capable builder wrapped around a token response allowance. Learn it for free; don’t run on it for free.
