## Paperform vs. Typeform
        Paperform
Paperform is a flexible online form builder that lets you make sales, take bookings, communicate with customers, and put manual processes on autopilot. The powerful editor offers nearly unlimited customization, 25+ question fields, and advanced workflows, so you can build the beautiful solutions you need.
        Typeform
Typeform is a popular online form builder that specializes in a conversational one-question-at-a-time experience. Typeform has an attractive interface and form style that’s become its trademark. It uses a simple drag-and-drop interface to add questions, and you can customize your form with images and videos to make it more personalized.

## A Detailed Comparison

(Updated December 2024)

### Pricing
    Paperform  Typeform    Free version        Limited access to many features    Starting price (USD, billed monthly)    $29 per user    $29 per user    Forms per month    Unlimited    Unlimited    Submissions per month    100 (+ $7.50 per additional 250)    100    Users    1    1
T he starting price for both platforms is $29 USD per month (limited to one user per account and 100 form submissions). A lthough the pricing is similar at first glance, the difference becomes much more evident when we compare features and solutions on each pricing plan (more on that below).

If you need to create a small simple survey with limited question types and a maximum of 10 responses per month, Typeform’s free limited plan might be a good place to start. However, as soon as you’d like to add slightly more advanced question types or need to collect responses from more than 10 people, Paperform becomes a more cost-efficient option.

### Form Creation
    Paperform  Typeform    “One question at a time” Forms            One-page Forms            Pagination (Multi-page Forms)            Pre-fill Information            Hidden Fields            Conditional Logic            File Uploads            Scoring            Appointments (Bookings & Scheduling)        Only via Calendly integration    Calculations            Signature field
Both tools offer an intuitive form-creation experience.

### Typeform

**Typeform's** famous one-question-at-a-time approach is great for short surveys, but time-consuming to fill in for anything longer than 3-question forms. To offer more flexibility and cater to every need, Paperform offers both one-page and multi-page forms as well as one-question-at-a-time forms.

### Paperform

When it comes to crafting more complex forms with advanced logic, Paperform truly outshines Typeform and [other form builders](https://paperform.co/form-builder-comparison/). Some of Paperform’s more advanced features include auto-generating responses and hiding fields based on previous answers or existing data, creating Excel-style smart dynamic [Calculations](https://paperform.co/calculations/), taking [one-off payments](https://paperform.co/payment-forms/) and [recurring payments](https://paperform.co/subscription-forms/), as well as managing [booking appointments](https://paperform.co/scheduling-software/). Paperform also has a built-in integration with [Papersign](https://papersign.com/) that lets you automatically trigger signature requests on connected documents.

*Paperform Interface*

Although Typeform offers most of the same features, these features come with a higher price tag and more limitations. For example, Typeform’s Calculations and Conditional Logic features aren’t as advanced as Paperform’s, and there is no possibility to trigger e-signature requests for connected documents via the form.

### Form Sharing & Experience
    Paperform  Typeform    Embed Forms            Share Forms via Link            Share Forms via Social Media            Automatic Emails to Respondents            Submission notifications & emails            Auto-Close Forms        Business & Enterprise plans    Save & Resume' for Respondents
Both platforms provide a seamless form-sharing experience, allowing you to embed forms to your website, share them via social media, and even auto-closing forms after a certain date or number of submissions.

The biggest difference is how you build the forms. Paperform’s Editor is structured like a document so you can click anywhere, type anywhere, add logos, images, products, and different field types. Rather than editing within panels (which can be pretty restrictive), Paperform uses an onscreen editor, with contextual menus that appear as you require them. This allows you to edit with detail and keep the focus on what you need—when you need it.

### Customization & Branding
    Paperform  Typeform    Templates    700+    600+    Custom Form Link            Custom Domain    Available on Pro, Business, Enterprise plans    Enterprise plan    Custom Branding        Enterprise plan    Custom End Screen    Available on Pro, Business, Enterprise plans    Business & Enterprise plans    Add Images, GIFs & Videos to Forms            Multi-language Forms and UI            Custom Colors & Advanced Themes            Custom HTML & CSS    Available on Pro, Business, Enterprise plans
### Paperform

One of Paperform’s many strengths is design and customization. While both platforms offer an impressive library of [pre-built templates](https://paperform.co/templates/), custom fonts and colors, and the possibility to add moving images to your forms, Paperform takes personalization to the next level. Customise backgrounds, change colors, tweak the UI and show off your distinctive brand. On higher pricing levels you can even add your custom HTML/CSS and custom domain.

### Typeform

Typeform offers a fair bit of customization, but most custom branding features are only available on the Enterprise plan. On most plans, you can edit forms with custom colors and fonts. Adding elements like images, logos, and videos to your form is where things get a bit tricky. While these elements can be added, the placement and size of images and videos can’t be changed within the tool—images can only be added to certain parts of your form and can’t be moved or resized at all.

### E-Commerce & Payments
    Paperform  Typeform    Sell Products    Built-in integration with Stripe, Braintree, PayPal, Square, Google Pay + 95 other payment integrations    Stripe integration only    One-off Payments            Recurring Payments (Subscriptions)            Product Inventory        Via Stripe    Multiple Currencies            Discount Coupons        Via Stripe    Receipts        Via Stripe    Invoices        Via Stripe    Tax Calculations            Refunds
### Paperform

If you’re looking to sell products seamlessly through your forms, Paperform proves superior with its [built-in e-commerce features](https://paperform.co/ecommerce/), support for multiple payment providers like Stripe, PayPal, Braintree, Square, and many more, product inventory management, automated receipts, invoices, and even dynamic shipping fees and tax calculations. Paperform also offers [Order Form Templates](https://paperform.co/templates/category/order-forms/) specifically built for e-commerce, restaurants, and other businesses looking to sell their products and services online.

### Typeform

While Typeform also offers e-commerce support, it is reliant on Stripe integration, so it comes with less flexibility and a few more limitations. For example, it doesn’t offer built-in tax calculations, refunds, or the ability to sell subscriptions.

### Analytics, Automation & Integrations
    Paperform  Typeform    Submission Reports            Export Data            Advanced Form Analytics    Available on Pro, Business, Enterprise plans        Integrations    3,000+    1,000+    Google Analytics        Business & Enterprise plans    Meta Pixel        Business & Enterprise plans    API access    Available on Pro, Business, Enterprise plans        Webhooks    Available on Pro, Business, Enterprise plans
Both tools have a large set of [integrations](https://paperform.co/integrations/) available as native integrations, or as third-party integrations via Zapier and Make that allow you to sync data to Google Sheets, share responses to Notion databases, add Asana tasks, and a whole lot more. Both tools also offer API and webhook integrations.

Paperform also has built-in integration with [Papersign](https://papersign.com/) e-signature software so you can automatically trigger signature requests for your documents.

In terms of form analytics and reporting, both Paperform and Typeform give you a wide set of tools to dig into data, however, Typeform keeps the more advanced reporting to its higher-priced plans.

### Security & Privacy
    Paperform  Typeform    Enhanced Security (SSL Encryption)            Two-Factor Authentication            SOC 2 Type II compliance            HIPAA Compliance        Enterprise plan    reCAPTCHA
Both form builders take customer data seriously and ensure your user data is protected with features like reCAPTCHA, enhanced security through SSL encryption, and two-factor authentication. If you need HIPAA compliance, both tools offer this feature on their highest pricing plan.

Paperform and Typeform also have passed System and Organization Controls (SOC) 2 Audit which checks that the software and services are protected by one of the highest recognized standards of information security compliance in the world.
