Where FormTs Stands Out

Purpose-Built Calculator Engine

FormTs uses TypeScript for form logic — write real code for complex pricing, tiered discounts, and conditional quotes. JotForm's calculation widget handles basic math but complex pricing requires chaining multiple conditional logic rules.

Lower Price, More Capacity

FormTs Pro at $19/mo gives you 1,000 submissions with no branding. JotForm's equivalent Bronze plan costs $39/mo and limits you to 25 forms.

Unlimited Free Forms

Create as many forms and calculators as you need on the Free plan. JotForm Free limits you to 5 forms total.

Where JotForm Stands Out

Massive Template Library

JotForm offers thousands of form templates and 100+ widgets for nearly every use case imaginable, from event registration to job applications.

Payment Collection

Native integration with Stripe, PayPal, and Square for collecting payments directly within forms. FormTs does not currently offer built-in payment processing.

File Uploads & HIPAA

JotForm supports file uploads up to 1 GB per file and offers HIPAA compliance on the Gold plan ($129/mo). FormTs does not currently offer these features.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this comparison fair and accurate?

We aim to be transparent. All JotForm data on this page comes from publicly available sources: jotform.com/pricing and JotForm help center, accessed in February 2026. If you spot an inaccuracy, please contact us and we'll correct it.

Can I migrate from JotForm to FormTs?

FormTs uses a TypeScript-based form definition system, so there isn't a one-click import from JotForm. However, our AI assistant can recreate most form structures quickly from a description of your existing form.

JotForm has 100+ widgets. Does FormTs have enough field types?

FormTs has 20+ field types covering all common use cases: text, dropdowns, sliders, star ratings, image choice, matrix questions, date pickers, and more. For pricing calculators and quote builders, this is more than enough. JotForm's larger widget library is an advantage for niche use cases.

Which tool is better for simple contact forms?

For basic contact forms without calculations, JotForm's drag-and-drop builder and massive template library make it very easy to get started. FormTs is better suited when you need real-time pricing, complex formulas, or embeddable calculators.
