FlowyForm

FlowyForm is a web-based builder for forms and surveys, from lead capture to client intake. It suits people who need varied question types and conditional workflows without a submission cap on the free plan. Its breadth is compelling for free, while removing branding and adding team-oriented tools requires a $29-per-month upgrade.

Overview

FlowyForm combines form creation with survey features and response tools. It covers use cases such as quizzes, registrations and client intake, and lets creators collect signatures, uploads, ratings, rankings, contact details, and date or time selections. That range makes it useful beyond simple contact forms; teams needing more polished, branded forms or collaboration will need Professional.

Key features

Conditional logic can change a form’s flow, calculators can support computed results, and answer piping can carry an earlier response into a later question. Together these tools suit forms that need to adapt to a respondent rather than present the same sequence to everyone. More than 300 templates provide a starting point, though the breadth of templates does not by itself guarantee a fit for a particular workflow.

Forms can be embedded on websites using embed code, including sites built with major frameworks and site builders. Google Sheets sync, Slack, Zapier, and webhooks provide routes for moving responses into other tools; Zapier connects FlowyForm to over 5,000 apps. These options make it more practical to use forms as part of an existing workflow than as a standalone collection point.

The free Standard plan includes e-signatures, file uploads, conditional logic, answer piping, and spam protection, alongside unlimited forms and submissions. Professional raises file upload limits, but sets no numeric cap; anyone choosing a plan chiefly for a known upload quota should confirm that it fits before committing. Data is encrypted in transit using TLS 1.2 and at rest. Sign-in options are Google or email and password, with passwords required to be at least eight characters and include a number and special character.

Pricing

Standard costs nothing, with unlimited forms and submissions. It includes e-signatures, file uploads, conditional logic, answer piping, Google Sheets sync, Zapier, Slack, and webhooks. For individuals and small teams that can work with FlowyForm branding and do not need the paid plan’s additions, this is an unusually capable starting point.

Professional costs $29 a month. It adds branding removal, partial submissions, custom SMTP and email branding, increased file upload limits, advanced analytics, workspaces, and team collaboration. It is the relevant choice for teams that need a branded respondent experience or shared working tools; the free tier gives up those capabilities. There is no free trial, so the free plan is the way to assess the product before paying.

Platforms

FlowyForm is available on the web. Website embedding extends where its forms can appear, but does not change its platform availability.

Who it's for

FlowyForm is a strong fit for people building surveys, lead forms, quizzes, registrations, or intake forms who value flexible question types and conditional flows. Its free submission allowance also suits projects that need to collect responses without a plan-imposed count ceiling. Organizations that require a numeric upload ceiling, or need branding removal and collaboration without a monthly subscription, should weigh the paid-plan boundary carefully.

Pros and cons

• Pros: The free plan combines unlimited forms and submissions with conditional logic, uploads, signatures, and integrations, making it useful for substantial form workflows without an upfront fee.
• Pros: Multiple question types, calculators, answer piping, and over 300 templates support more than basic data capture.
• Cons: Branding removal, advanced analytics, workspaces, and team collaboration are reserved for the $29 a month Professional plan.
• Cons: The Professional plan gives no numeric file-upload cap, which can make it hard to judge whether its increased allowance will meet a specific workload.

Alternatives

For client intake, compare client intake software if you want to consider tools focused on that category. Intake may suit a client-intake workflow where its free allowance of up to 10 clients is sufficient. ClientLoop is another option to consider for intake, with a free tier capped at five clients and one team member.

FormsHQ may suit someone who wants to start with a more constrained free form allowance: its Starter Form plan includes one published form and 50 responses per month. For onboarding, Onvoy offers a free plan capped at five onboardings per month and one team member, while Portico allows three active onboardings per month on its free tier and includes e-signatures capped at three per month.

PlatoForms is worth considering if a free plan capped at one live form and 100 submissions per month suits the project. Synerdeck offers a free tier for up to 10 clients with two templates and 500 MB of storage. For a paid option with a stated user allowance, Captorra Intake offers a plan for up to five users and an enterprise plan for unlimited users, both with custom pricing.

Verdict

Choose FlowyForm if you need a flexible web form builder with varied question types, conditional workflows, and unlimited free submissions. Its free plan is the clearest reason to choose it; the main reason to look elsewhere is a need for a defined upload quota or a different client-intake or onboarding focus. Professional makes sense when removing branding and enabling collaboration justify $29 a month.
