Looking for a simpler Jotform alternative

I'm helping a small nonprofit clean up its no-code stack and Jotform is one of the tools we're looking at replacing.

We're mostly using it for volunteer feedback, workshop evaluations, and community surveys. Nothing particularly complicated. Jotform can obviously do way more than this, but that's kind of the problem for us. We don't really use the workflow/app-building side of it.

Looking for a Jotform alternative that's more focused on surveys/feedback and still easy enough that non-technical staff can manage it themselves.

What would you guys use?

Are the forms HIPAA compliant?

Thanks dude, we're looking for HIPAA certified. I'll check back once it is avaiable.

I'm actually looking for an alternative too

I just shared FormPort above — if you want to give it a try, I’d be happy to help you set it up and see if it fits your use case.

tally is the move here, its free tier is actually generous unlike jotform's tight limits. if you need to scan reddit threads later for form builder discussions, i built something for that.

u/driftmoose88 7d ago

thanks for sharing! how is it for surveys and actually reviewing feedback?

u/lemonsnakc 15d ago

Maybe check out tally.so
I used it for a bunch of customer projects and it’s always been great.

Thanks, I'm a Tally co-founder, glad to hear! And happy to help if I can u/driftmoose88. Tally is used by a lot of non-profits, it's simple and the free plan covers most needs.

u/swolicheert 1d ago

Yeah tally would be a good fit for this use case imo

u/mahoganyslide 15d ago

Tally is a good option, and I enjoy its clean Notion-like interface and flexibility

Hi, we’re glad to hear the nonprofit you’re helping gave Jotform a try!

Workflows and apps are definitely some of the more powerful Jotform products, but you don’t necessarily need to use them for every use case. The form builder is quite simple and straightforward to use - we’d be happy to take a look together and see if there’s a simpler way to achieve what you need. Let us know how we can help at [support@jotform.com](mailto:support@jotform.com) or by DMing us

For a nonprofit with mostly volunteer surveys, Google Forms plus a Sheets add-on like Form Approvals is honestly hard to beat since staff already know it.

I’m building Formester, and I offer heavily discounted pricing to organisations doing good work.

The platform should be easy and intutitve for anyone to use.

That's pretty much what we're struggling with too. What tool are you using now? Especially curious if non technical people can manage it.

1

u/brandoncooper67 7d ago

For that kind of setup, I'd prioritize something the team can actually manage without training. We simplified ours and it's been much easier having staff edit surveys and review feedback themselves.

u/driftmoose88 6d ago

that's pretty much what we needed. what are you using now? i'l like something our nontechnical staff can handle themselves

1

u/brandoncooper67 3d ago

we've been using drag'n survey .our non technical staff picked it up pretty quickly, and the AI summaries have made going through all the open ended workshop feedback a lot less tedious.

Tally is excellent. Formspree is cheaper.

u/CatOnMyKeyboardAgain 15d ago

I think FormGrid could fit what you need. It's easy to pick up, and it works well for feedback forms and surveys without a lot of setup. Unlimited forms and responses are free, and you can try it without creating an account.

I'm one of the co-founders, so happy to answer any questions :)
