Is Typeform free? What it actually costs in 2026

What the free tier actually includes

• —100 responses a month
• —Unlimited forms
• —1 user

Where the wall is

Response 101. Typeform charges for answers, not forms — a single survey that works blows through the free allowance in a day.

After that: Basic $39 a month, Plus $79, Business $129 (Typeform quotes annual billing as about 30% less than monthly).

Can you self-host Typeform? No — cloud only

Typeform is hosted only. Formbricks, Typebot and LimeSurvey are the self-hosted form builders compared here, none of which meter responses.

When paying is still the right call

Stay if completion rate is the point. Typeform's format genuinely converts better on long forms, and if a few extra percentage points of completion are worth more than the subscription, that is the correct commercial answer. Stay if you rely on the integration catalogue or on Typeform's logic-jump builder, which remains the most approachable in the category. And stay if your volume is low and predictable, where the bill never becomes the problem this page describes.

What you are locked into

Low, and this is the good news. Responses export to CSV and the forms themselves are simple structures that rebuild quickly. What you lose is embedded links: a Typeform URL in a published email, a printed QR code or a partner's website keeps pointing at Typeform, so the migration work is chasing down where the form was shared rather than moving the form. Anything mid-campaign is best left to finish rather than moved.
