Per-response fees add up fast
Above your monthly response limit, Typeform charges $0.01 to $0.05 per additional response. On a busy hiring cycle with 2,000 applications, that's $20–$100 added to your invoice — unplanned, with no warning.

Why teams switch
Where Typeform falls short.
Free tier is nearly unusable
Typeform's free plan allows only 10 responses per month in total across all your forms. That's barely enough to test a form, let alone run any real collection campaign or validate a product idea.
Steep price jump with no middle ground
Typeform's Basic plan ($25/month) caps at 100 responses. The next meaningful tier is Business at $83/month. For teams between 100 and 10,000 responses, there's no affordable option.
File uploads are paywalled
File uploads on Typeform require a paid plan and come with limited storage. On Formiqa, file uploads work on the free plan with 1 GB of dedicated Cloudflare R2 storage — isolated from any personal account.

FAQ
Common questions.

No. Formiqa never charges per-response fees on any plan. Your monthly cost is flat and predictable regardless of how many submissions arrive.
Can Formiqa replace Typeform for file collection?

Does Formiqa have conversational forms like Typeform?
Not yet. Typeform's one-question-at-a-time UX is a genuine differentiator. Formiqa uses a traditional multi-field layout. If conversational UX is a hard requirement, Typeform is the better choice for that specific use case.
How does the free tier compare?
Typeform's free tier allows 10 total responses per month across all forms. Formiqa's free tier allows 10 responses per form per month across up to 5 forms — plus 1 GB of dedicated file storage included.
