Common questions
Can I replace Typeform entirely?
For most Framer sites, yes. Forms Plugin covers contact forms, surveys, lead capture, multi-step flows, file uploads, and CRM routing. If you need Typeform's enterprise features (SSO, HIPAA) or its vast non-Framer integration library, keep Typeform for those specific use cases.
Does Forms Plugin have Typeform's 'one question per page' style?
You can build it with PageFlow (our multi-step component). Each field on its own page, progress bar, conditional jumps. The UX is equivalent, rendered natively on your Framer canvas.
How does the math work? Typeform is $39 per month, Forms Plugin is $79 once. Is that real?
Yes. Typeform Basic at $39 per month adds up to $468 per year, or $2,340 over 5 years. Forms Plugin Pro is $79 once, covering the same 5 years (and beyond). You save $2,261 over 5 years on the entry tier, more on the agency tier.
