TrustRadius Insights are summaries of user sentiment data from TrustRadius reviews and, when necessary, 3rd-party data sources. Have feedback on this content? Let us know!

Typeform has found widespread use across various departments and industries as a versatile tool for data collection and survey administration. Users have utilized Typeform for a range of purposes, including conducting surveys, gathering feedback, and collecting customer reviews. The software has been commended for its user-friendly interface and customizable forms that match company branding, simplifying the data collection process.

Typeform has proven to be particularly valuable in content marketing teams, allowing them to gather insights and recognize pain points through easy and efficient data collection. It has also been widely used in customer success and marketing departments to collect and analyze feedback from SaaS product customers. The software's logic mapping capabilities have made it an ideal choice for conducting large-scale surveys and research, tailoring questions based on respondents' previous answers. Furthermore, Typeform has been praised for its design and layout options, providing a more enjoyable survey experience compared to other platforms like Google Forms.

In addition, Typeform has been employed in various industries such as education, non-profit organizations, event planning, customer engagement, and partner programs. Whether it is building online applications for a non-profit trade school or administrating surveys to qualify job applicants, Typeform has proven to be a time-saving solution that collects data as a whole rather than individually. The ability to add logic jumps within the survey process allows users to customize the experience based on respondents' actions. Integration with CRM systems like HubSpot further enhances the form experience for users by streamlining marketing requests.

While many users have praised the features and capabilities of Typeform, there have been occasional complaints about the customer support provided by the platform. Some users have reported slow response times and problems with problem analysis. Additionally, changes to Typeform's plans have prompted concerns among users about potential issues. Despite these criticisms, Typeform remains a popular choice for individuals and businesses seeking a user-friendly and customizable tool for their data collection needs.

Calculator tool: Users have found the calculator tool in Typeform to be extremely helpful for incorporating complex calculations into their forms, with multiple reviewers praising its functionality and versatility.

Compatibility across devices: Reviewers appreciate that Typeform is compatible with modern web browsers and ensures a seamless user experience across different platforms. This feature has been mentioned by several users as a key advantage of the software.

Confusing User Interface: Some users have found the user interface of Typeform to be confusing and not intuitive, particularly when creating forms or navigating through the platform. They feel that a more streamlined and user-friendly interface would greatly enhance their experience.

Limited Customization Options: Multiple users have mentioned that they find the customization options in Typeform to be limited. This makes it difficult for them to create surveys or forms beyond the provided question options, limiting their ability to gather specific information from respondents.

Lack of Integration with Popular Services: One user has expressed dissatisfaction with Typeform's lack of integration with popular services other than Zapier. They believe that having more native integration options would make it easier for companies to connect Typeform with their existing tools and systems.

Users have made several recommendations for Typeform based on their experiences. Firstly, many users suggest integrating Typeform with Slack as it enhances collaboration and data sharing within teams. Secondly, Typeform is highly recommended as a free and user-friendly alternative to SurveyMonkey. Users appreciate the better overall user experience offered by Typeform. Lastly, users recommend Typeform for its ability to handle large volumes of surveys and collect a large number of responses. It is particularly praised for its customization options and suitability for quickly gathering data.

We have used Typeform to conduct large-scale surveys and research for our company and our industry. Typeform is ideal for the types of surveys we send because it has logic mapping, ie: if a respondent answers a question one way then you can map the next questions they receive. For example, if the survey asks "Is your favorite color red or blue?" Answering "red" might take you one way, while answering blue will take you to a different set of questions.
  • Logic mapping
  • Easy-to-use for end user
  • No protection against bots
  • All surveys are posted publicly
  • Data integrity easily goes down the drain because of the proliferation of bots, I've found.
Typeform is definitely a leader in the online survey space and that's for a reason. Between logic mapping and the ease of use for the end user, it's a solid app. The unfortunate thing, however, is the price tag--particularly considering the protection you receive from bots. Typeform only allows a certain number of responses at certain package levels, ie: the lowest level, you get a very limited number of responses but in order to receive more responses before your survey is locked, you must upgrade. This is what ultimately lead us to cancel with them. When you post a survey on Typeform, that survey is automatically posted publicly on their website--making it widely available to bots. Typeform offers no easy form of protection like a standardized captcha that you can add to the survey in order to filter bots out. Instead, there are several "work arounds" that they advise users to do that have very limited degrees of success. A quick online search shows that Typeform knows this is clearly an issue, yet they have yet to build in a bot-prevention feature. Since their plan prices vary by number of responses, it seems that they have no incentive to limit the amount of bots filling out surveys I believe. Ultimately, we canceled because, although the app is powerful, it just seemed like their business practices were unethical in my opinion.

We use Typeform in every department of our company. From our marketing department using it to create forms for use by customers to our sales department using it capture leads. We have also used it as a part of various social media contests and give-aways to capture user contact information and contest submissions. Another use of Typeform is for internal communications and questionnaires to our staff.
  • Surveys
  • Quizzes
  • Integrations/plugins
  • More flexibility for design of forms
  • Better user analytics
  • Organization of Workspaces
Typeform has transformed the way we interact with our clients and retrieve valuable feedback from them. It is the best option for building contact forms because it makes it fun and interactive to fill out forms, instead of a chore. Typeform is valuable for any sized organization and allows companies to interact directly with customers with quizzes and forms.

Typeform has been a great addition to our company. We are always focusing on giving our users the best experience possible and with Typeform we believe we can even with surveys. Gone are the days of the dated old Google Forms and people seem to be engaging more with the new forms of filling out surveys which Typeform delivers on.
  • Reliable
  • User experience
  • Engaging
  • Surveys
  • Pricing

Typeform is good for startups and companies with new product launches where you want to engage the audience with fun and engaging surveys. No one wants to do surveys these days, especially for free. So the user experience must be top class for people to want to engage in the process.

I use it for validating ideas and capturing user sentiment around a particular feature or user flow. The feature may be an existing one or one that will be introduced. I have also used it to capture leads based on the answers for a startup. And lastly I have used it for capturing customer reviews about the products I sell and how to improve them.
  • The beautiful presentation of the forms is second to none
  • Very customizable with logic features
  • Easy to share results
  • Easy to find previous typeforms
  • Intuitive interface
  • The icon menu can be confusing at first; I'd rather have text and icons
  • The limit of responses on the basic plan
  • Embedding issues in certain mail providers
A scenario that Typeform is best suited to is when surveying buckets of customers or users with different attributes. Typeform allows for logic pathways to question those customer buckets differently. And all of this is done with a single form instead of creating and sending out multiple forms. That allows the convenience of going through all the results in one place as well. The ability to customize the form through the use of variables means I can use the answer from one question in another question in the same form. Very useful for using names.

Typeform is less appropriate when you need heat map or key tracking metrics.

We use Typeform to manage everything from customer surveys and NPS collection to internal processes. Typeform makes it easy to create beautiful, intuitive ways of sharing information. We love how Typeform's team continually improves the product and have seen them introduce some exciting and really helpful features over the last three years.
  • Integration with HubSpot for automatic response routing
  • Incredibly intuitive, beautiful design.
  • Simple to build and deploy.
  • Greater form customization, though I understand that by giving users more control, that might impede overall intuitiveness from a respondent's standpoint.
  • Better reporting and data export.
  • Logic jump is great, but the way it's designed could be clearer—I wish there was a way to see an indent of the questions that would only be asked under certain conditions within the preview itself, not just the form map.
Typeform is perfect for both internal and external response collection. Though the tool might not be as robust for larger contexts as some other available solutions, I think the unique approach to question flow and beautiful design really do help to increase completion rates. So far, we haven't found a problem where we couldn't use Typeform as the solution.

We like to use Typeform at the very beginning of any project, to collect info or validate assumptions with our stakeholders.
  • Mobile first
  • Great usability, focused on the users (interviewer and interviewees)
  • Image research survey
  • Customizable survey display
Typeform is well suited for surveys, stakeholder research, and assumption/insight validation. I think it is less appropriate for anything else that isn't a survey.

We are using Typeform for several solutions in our Learning & Development department. We have used it as a survey tool, information/recommendation form, quiz, etc. It is a modern online form builder that works on any device and is affordable. It is simple to use but has several advanced features to build more complex forms if that's what you need. We have also used it as part of an automation for our training intake process for new requests that come in across our Americas division.
  • The calculator tool allows you to use numerical formulas to create logic within your form for specific behavior.
  • Compatible with modern web browsers for both building a form and publishing, allowing it to work and look good on any device.
  • Integration with products like Zapier allow you to use it as part of a larger automation in your company.
  • Visually pleasing designs with use of themes, images and video to match your branding.
  • Quizzes can be accomplished using the calculator tool and branching, but it would be nice to have it as a default form type so it could be more easily built.
  • Would be nice to see the system have more options for default messaging/email confirmations tied to specific forms.
  • Although the integration with Zapier is expansive, some companies may want more native integration with other popular services instead of using a third party solution.
I believe that Typeform is the best solution on the market for custom web forms, surveys, and more. The opportunities are really endless when you think about how forms can be used in a company - lead generation, user engagement surveys, training quiz, idea generation, etc. The information you collect can then be manipulated or sent to another service to automate processes within the organization.

We use Typeform internally and with many of our clients for a variety of reasons. From web contact forms, to process checklists and surveys. We even used it as an "online tax return" system for one of our accounting clients to populate all the data required to process their simple individual tax returns.
  • Simple and intuitive user interface.
  • Clean and pleasing design with nice quirkiness (like Mailchimp).
  • Great level of integrations available and customisations.
  • The editor is sometimes not intuitive to start with, but once you know how, it's quite easy and quick to create content.
  • The performance is sometimes not that great and the webpage has to refreshed and any edits are lost.
Excellent use case is any web-based data collection scenario. Its main plus is its pleasing and "single question" style interface which makes filling in a form quick and enjoyable. Plus it's mobile responsive so can be used as a mini "app" for many situations. The ability to branch with logic jumps and use calculator features all makes it quite a powerful tool. The user interface and experience is the main reason why we use and promote Typeform. No one feels like filling a form when they can see a whole bunch of question boxes staring in front of them.

Our organization regularly survey constituents, whether students, alumni, or donors. We have tried a number of surveying platforms over the years with varying degrees of success. Typeform has provided the best interface for our constituents. Each department manages its own surveys. These can be stored in individual folders within Typeform. Surveys can easily be duplicated for re-use without losing prior information. User interaction with Typeform surveys is clean. I really like that all the questions aren't presented at one time, but that questions appear as respondents move through the survey. There are a variety of question formats, from radio tab to multiple-choice, short-answer, and email/phone. Typeform has become our go-to for gathering feedback on a wide range of topics as we engage with constituents and their interests.
  • Easy to create survey from scratch.
  • Drop-and-drag elements for ordering and re-ordering.
  • When duplicating surveys, it can be helpful to have time-sensitive questions highlighted to make sure these key fields are updated correctly.
We survey lots of people. Typeform enables us to gather, collect, and download information for analysis. Surveys can be varied in length, with customizable elements. Particularly when you have branching logic in responses, Typeform provides easy A-B logic trees based on respondent answers. We regularly embed surveys in emails or on Facebook. Typeform may be less appropriate should you want to have respondents engage with varied media like photos, videos, or presentations. We have not attempted to use Typeform in this way.

We use Typeform both internally and externally. Externally, our customer success team uses it to collect information from our partners before we get to the implementation stage to learn about their training process and product configuration. Inside our org we use Typeform to share information on deals closed to both Accounts Receivable and to customer success. Marketing has also used it to collect webinar registrations (in combination with Zapier).
  • Data collection
  • Low price
  • Collaboration
  • Logic Flows
  • Good user experience
  • No training
  • Sharing
  • Customization
  • Plug in/API access
Typeform is amazing for any type of data collection. We have used it successfully for:

  • Employee surveys
  • Customer information collection
  • Potential customer surveys
  • Swag order collection (i.e. size, address)
  • Internal sharing as part of pass off processes
  • Webinar registrations
I wish it had a native API or plug-ins that were easy to use but it works well with Zapier.

When use Typeform in a variety of situations from short, temporary surveys internally to developing complicated online apps, we use Typeform over other form tools because it is easy to set-up, share, and complete. Having a fluid user experience increases results. We also like that seems different from most survey and form tools.
  • Logic Mapping
  • Creating a fluid, fast user experience for form completion.
  • I wish the design scheme and templates choices had more options.
  • Direct integrations with our CRM and website solution (HubSpot and Squarespace).
Typeform works excellent for almost any survey or form. It works best when online surveys and forms are long, and you don't want the user to feel overwhelmed. In other words, the streamlined user experience quickly gets users through the questions rapidly. It may not work best for legal needs where DocuSign could be better suited.

We currently use Typeform in a couple of different areas in our organization. We use it for our partner program for a quick and easy way to submit orders. We also use it in our customer experience department for training aspects to provide a seamless transition between materials. Typeform overall is an extremely easy system to use.
  • Provides great templates to use.
  • You have the ability to build from scratch with a multitude of options.
  • The branching can be difficult to understand at the start.
  • There are almost too many options.
Typeform is very well suited for training and simple forms of all sorts. It works nicely in a training system to allow for a clean, technical look that works well for visual aesthetics. The flow of the program is very smooth and easy to understand the first time you use the service.

Typeform is ideal for the design-minded person. It offers design and layout options that Google Forms just doesn't provide and makes actually taking the survey fun for the user. As a company that greatly cares about branding, design, and user-friendliness, Typeform is the solution that makes the most sense in those interests.
  • Design.
  • Layout.
  • Ease of use.
  • Overwhelming options.
Use Typeform if you care about your survey feeling like your brand! If you care more about quickly executing an internal survey, use Google Forms.

We use Typeform to interact with clients. We created a questionnaire that allows our clients to select options and specifics for their event as it relates to our services. Additionally, we use TypeForm as part of our interview process for applicants that want to work for our company. We use the questionnaire to qualify applicants through scenario type questions.
  • Allows for customization to meet your specific needs
  • Provides a user friendly platform that doesn't require an outside contractor to create questionnaires
  • Though you can learn how to build simple questionnaires fairly easily, but for more complex things it does require some additional knowledge.
  • There is no phone support. They only communicate through email and on their business hours (in Spain).
Typeform can be applied successfully for MANY scenarios / needs - client feedback, interview questionnaires, performance reviews, services selection, and so much more. We use Typeform for a complex questionnaire for our clients and it required a lot of work and learning. If you are building your own questionnaire and have limited experience, I would recommend keeping things more simple. Typeform can be a little bit challenging for someone with little computer experience so it may be good to have someone assist in the creation.

We use Typeform with our clients to help them build and create better surveys. We also use Typeform to create surveys for our target audience, clients, and team members. Typeform is a fantastic tool to source information quickly and efficiently. It is used across all departments for our clients, as any team can use it to source relevant information.
  • The user experience is very friendly. It's easy to get started and to start creating forms.
  • Templates. Typeform has many templates to help save time and create ideas.
  • The Basic package has many options and integrations to get form builders started.
  • The Typeform branding is only removed at the Pro+ ($70 per month level).
  • The option to edit the URL.
  • Team members can only be invited at the $70 per month level. By charging a lower price, Typeform might get users to add more team members as opposed to using once account per business/team etc.
If you want to collect information, Typeform is your go-to tool. Information collected may relate to: Lead Generation, Customer Feedback, Client Registration, Expenses, Online Contact Us form among many others. Due to Typeforms integration via Zapier (From the free plan upwards) and the possibility to create APIs. The possible scenarios to collect information are endless.

I use TypeForm to survey internal teams on a wide range of business topics, and the survey results help to inform planning priorities. For example, in a recent survey we gathered pricing input from the global sales organization and used the feedback to guide price levels for an upcoming software product release.
  • Ease of use: TypeForm is easy to self-train within less than an hour.
  • Flexibility: I can capture a wide range of survey inputs, such as multiple choice and rankings
  • Accessibility: I appreciate that survey results are easily accessible in downloads that I can view in Excel or other tools.
  • The central dashboard could do a better job of highlighting my active survey, versus historical.
  • The notifications feature for new results was previously available for all users, and seemingly the company has changed the policy on this feature a couple of times.
For quick surveys in which you want users to use a simple link to access easy-to-follow questions, Typeform is an ideal choice. It is easier to learn and more flexible than the native Microsoft Excel Forms approach offered by Office365 (likely available to many business teams). Seemingly, they have thought of everything!

We use Typeform on our internal blog to conduct employee surveys and gather information across departments. It's an easy way to gather information without having to code anything, and we can get it set up quickly so we can add a new form each week with our weekly blogs. We have the Pro Plan, so we can collect an unlimited number of responses each month which allows us to ask whatever questions we choose.
  • Creating a form is really easy, no knowledge of coding is needed.
  • I like how you can navigate almost their entire website using only your keyboard. I think it shows new users that the forms you create can be navigated just as easily.
  • The ability to create a custom Thank You screen is great too. It allows your users to feel like this form was created specifically for them by you, not just generated online.
  • The pricing structure is a little steep, especially for the Pro+ plan. It would be nice if they had an a la carte option because there are some features we are paying for that we will never use.
  • When creating forms, sometimes the cursor will inexplicably leave the field you are typing in and leave you with incomplete sentences.
  • Even though we are paying for our use, we still have the Typeform branding on our forms, which I think should be removed once you upgrade from the basic plan.
If you are looking to collect information from your customers, employees, website visitors, etc. Typeform is a great tool to have. The forms are easy to create and easy to fill out, and you don't need to worry about coding. Just copy the embed code and paste it where you want it.

Typeform was being used by our Sales, Marketing & Product Team to obtain user feedback both on the service aspects as well as product features. While Typeform offers extensive capabilities, it was too much for our needs, especially once we started using Pipedrive which comes with its own form builder. Typeform was used when we used Salesforce and had to be integrated with Zapier - the connection sometimes broke.
  • User-friendly
  • Accessibility
  • Free version
  • Pricing for paid version is quite high
  • UI is over-complicated for most basic users
Typeform is well suited for those who will use Typeform a lot in their job and are able to dedicate time to learning the advanced features/customization options. It's less appropriate for someone who's wearing a few hats and needs a basic form to capture lead information or product feature requests/survey.

Our Customer Success and Marketing departments use Typeform frequently to collect feedback from our SaaS product customer base. Our CSMs utilize it strongly, as it's proved to be an effective tool to both collect and analyze feedback and then turn it into actionable insight or share it with the rest of our company or even our customers. It was a rough start finding a survey tool to fit all of our needs, and we originally turned to other tools, but after giving Typeform a try we can definitely say that we're very happy with its functionality and the vision/direction Typeform's moving towards as a business.
  • Working in Typeform is automatic and intuitive. It's easy to find the surveys we're looking for and to manage or edit them (duplicating, creating, removing surveys, as well as putting them in folders). I didn't have to "learn" how to use it; when creating a new survey, the app just flows in a way that you know what the next step is and how to get there. The appearance of the app is clean and beautiful, without losing the details you need to customize.
  • Like I said above, while Typeform is simple and automatic, it doesn't skimp out on all the customization and tweaks you need to create a fitting survey for your exact use case. They have a wide selection of custom questions you can ask in your survey (from a simple 'Yes/No' to an 'Opinion Scale' to even payment collection) and many different settings for those questions (make it required, add a description/image/video, etc.).
  • You can also customize the look and feel of each individual Typeform, and save each appearance as a template setting to use again! This has really helped us make Typeform our own by adding our own branding to it.
  • Typeform makes it so easy for users to respond to surveys. They have a clean, beautiful experience that flows and no one has issues submitting responses. Typeform has an Intercom integration, which is perfect as we use Intercom with our customers, so it's easy to just issue a Typeform survey with our in-app chat to get quick and numerous responses.
  • I would love to see improved integrations of Typeform with the other tools that we use. While Typeform's in-app chat integration with Intercom is great, it doesn't cover ALL of our use cases with issuing surveys, and we'd really like to see support for email surveys that are easy and quick for recipients to submit without additional hassle.
  • We will always welcome additional insights/analytics provided with the feedback results that come in for our Typeforms. The more presentable they are, the more we can use them for internal and external use. Typeform just recently added a 'Stories' beta that caters to this so we're excited to see what more they'll be doing with it.
  • While most of our team is pretty tech savvy and very independently figures out new technology, starting out with creating a first Typeform survey may be more challenging with other less technological teams, as their creator is very conservative with real estate and uses icons instead of titles for links (though you can mouse over the menu to see the title of an item).
Typeform is very appropriate for small-to-medium business teams collecting several hundred survey responses. I'm not sure how viewing responses would work for the enterprise account. As mentioned in the points of improvement, currently issuing Typeforms via email is limited - you have to start with an opinion scale and its integrations with email campaign managers are also limited.

We use Typeform across our whole organization, but primarily for customer engagement. We'll send surveys or quizzes to our audience for engagement purposes, not so much for email capture or the like. We may use it at a tradeshow as part of a prize giveaway (with scoring for quizzes) or maybe as a yearly survey to our entire email base to try and get an idea of what our audience wants.
  • Visually appealing. Even though it's become more popular these days, I think Typeform still looks better than most form software available.
  • Smart. With easy logic jumping and calculations, you can do some cool things.
  • Integrations. To follow the conversion funnel you need integration between systems and Typeform has enough to get the job done (with a little IFTT or Zapier support along the way).
  • Embedding on other web pages isn't the smoothest UX yet. There are times when the user is forced to scroll when the viewport has plenty of room and other quirks like that.
  • Typeform may need to start offering more visual customization soon. Typeform was really cool when most people had never seen it before, but it's getting so popular it needs something else to stand out.
Typeform works well for longer, multipage surveys and forms. If you need to have a long form and are having problems with people completing them, Typeform might help.
If you are primarily having your audience use very short forms (1-3 questions) I bet you'd be able to find a faster form for users to complete.

Our small non-profit trade school does not currently possess a student information database - we piece together databases with applications and softwares to meet our needs. In the case of Typeform, the Marketing & Admissions offices use the software to build out our online application for an individual to apply to our school, with the information filtering into our CRM (HubSpot) by way of Zapier, a software that helps information travel between open source softwares. Marketing also uses Typeform for surveying.
  • Typeform is very user-friendly and requires very little knowledge of back end HTML or coding. Building forms in their platform is very easy and quick.
  • Typeform has very easy-to-use "skip logic" that allows me to create a better form experience for the end user by changing the form based on the user's previous answers. It is very seamless and smooth, and it helps make the form much more personalized and "smart."
  • The analytics are very good, but not quite to the level of "amazing." They give you what you need -- how long it takes people to complete the form, the platform or device they used, etc.
  • All in all, Typeform allows your forms to be better than your average form - its not just a simple, vertical form. It can be interactive, it can be smart, and you can use photos to enhance the experience. For me, without a huge budget to build out a full-on application where users can create accounts and such, it works.
  • Data transfer off of Typeform can be a challenge. We need to use Zapier to connect Typeform with our HubSpot database, and every time we want to make an update to the form, it often creates the need to re-map the fields in order to transfer the data perfectly.
  • A user going "backwards" on the form can be difficult and create an awkward experience for the user.
  • The software does not have any feature or way to allow individuals to start a form, leave, come back, and continue. Once someone leaves, it is gone forever. For me and for what I use the software for, it would be amazing if we could allow a user to bookmark their progress, or even create an account to start their application, returning at a later date to finish. Unfortunately, Typeform does not offer this.
  • We get real-time respondent notifications, which is great, but the format in which they send the email cannot be replicated when going into the software and viewing results. Exporting submissions comes in the form of a spreadsheet, whereas the notification comes in vertically in order, with the question accompanying the response. So, if you do not save these response in your inbox, you're in trouble.
If you're looking for an "advanced," more professional and "impressive" form platform, Typeform is excellent. It is great for surveys. However, if you need to stretch the software to become more, and tie it in with a CRM or database as I have had to, you might hit some speed bumps along the way and it may create some frustrations.

Typeform is being used in my organization by only myself currently, as we are rather new to using it. Typeform allows for me to collect data as a whole instead of each person emailing it to me one at a time. This has been a time saver on my part, as I do not have to record each person's email, it is collected right on Typeform and I am able to print what I need.
  • Typeform does well allowing users to input their own questions. While their templates are awesome, not every organization uses set templates.
  • Collecting the data directly on their website in your specific survey is a godsend.
  • Truly the only area I feel could use improvement is under the report menu. I have to wiggle around on that tab to get exactly what I am wanting.

I feel that Typeform is great to gather data/opinions. I am able to conduct surveys and utilize that data in a quicker fashion than in the past.

If using this platform for registrations, I do not feel it may be the best, at least the free portion.

Typeform is used primarily by the Marketing department as a form generator. We then integrate with HubSpot, our CRM. We use Typeform to handle Marketing requests and as a great way to improve the form experience of the user. HubSpot's forms, although technically nice, do not have a lot of design elements which can be very boring.

Additionally, we use Typeform to help facilitate online purchasing for our Lactation Store. With an integration with Stripe, we are able to use the form to help patients purchase lactation products while they are still in the hospital, using their digital devices.
  • Form intake.
  • Managing requests.
  • Awesome reporting.
  • Immersive data collection.
  • Mobile and desktop friendly.
  • Extremely versatile. Can handle any form requests we have. Contact forms, quizzes, shops or feedback forms all work great in Typeform.
  • A lot of integrations, including HubSpot.
  • Fantastic AI software that helps automate the form collection process and turn it into an experience for the consumer.
  • Better integration with Drupal. Currently, Typeform doesn't have a great integration with Drupal, which can lead to awkward iframes if you want the form embedded directly on the site.
  • More payment methods other than Stripe (although a good one).
  • Better support. It is not 24/7 and they are based out of Spain, which can be a headache for American users.
  • Reporting on the back end doesn't always facilitate use for short form/long form answers.
Typeform does a great job with form management and reporting. It can accept payments (through Stripe) and has some great prebuilt forms to get up and running quickly. The stock surveys are beautiful and easy to set up. Setting up your own custom survey is also very easy.

Finally, Typeform has the best value for the money I've every come across. We spend very little on the tool itself, but it makes us a lot of money. High ROI.

We use Typeform for all of our data collection (surveys, applications) for our membership. We also utilize it for internal surveys and weekly updates. We chose typeform for the visual appeal, but what really makes it a great tool is the ability to add logic jumps to your data (ie if someone does x, jump to a certain question etc) and the ability to integrate it to send data to another source using Zapier, which greatly reduces the time needed to move data or make multiple surveys.
  • Logic jumps
  • Aesthetically pleasing surveys
  • Customization
  • Integration
  • User experience - hard to learn, not intuitive
  • Downloading forms directly from Typeform
  • Cannot create rules in a spreadsheet (so if you have a lot of rules or you use it for payment, this is a huge hassle)
Typeform has been trying to brand itself as a payment platform, but it is really not designed for this purpose. We used it over the past year for this need with logic jumps and calculations to add price and it was not a great experience.

However, for simple surveys and data collection Typeform is visually clean and allows you to set up fairly complex surveys using logic jumps to direct users to the correct question. They also have a good number of question types from text fields to dropdowns and multi select options.

We utilize Typeform for surveys within our organization. We have large-scale surveys, such as our bi-annual career satisfaction survey, that are sent out via Typeform. We also use it for small-scale information gathering, such as sign ups for events. We do have some departments that use it individually, but for the most part, we are using it to gather information from the entire organization. It's a very user-friendly tool. We have several people within the organization that use it, and new users have been brought up to speed easily. The customization tools make it easy to personalize.
  • Survey options - there are different question options you can use, even within the same survey. When sending out large surveys with varying types of questions, it's convenient to have different options for those taking the surveys.
  • Results - after you've completed the survey, your results are easy to download and analyze. Have the data ready to go with a Excel file is much more convenient than other survey sites we've utilized.
  • Sharing - surveys are provided with an easy-to-use link. This makes sharing quick and easy.
  • User-friendly - interface is easy to utilize. Very little training is required to use the tool effectively.
  • Customizable - although some areas could improve, it is helpful there are different types of questions you can use, pictures can be uploaded, etc.
  • In addition to convenient data, Typeform also keeps track of visits/who has completed the survey. If you're sending out mandatory notices to your team, and need to keep track of who has visited, Typeform makes this easy.
  • There's definitely room for improvement on the customization side. Unless you know the ins and outs of the program, the surveys can be a bit plain.
  • Creating anything beyond the question options given can be difficult. Adding variables and questions leading to other questions can be difficult. If your questions are straightforward and answers don't change the possibility of the next question, you shouldn't have much trouble.
  • Surveys only allow for 10 questions per survey, unless you upgrade to the Pro version. I understand there's a need to make money, but for what we use the platform for, an upgrade wouldn't be necessary. It would be nice if you could ask more questions, but perhaps not utilize certain features if you're still on the basic plan.
Overall, Typeform is a great option if you're looking to send out mass surveys to your team. Here are some specific scenarios where we've used the program:
- Career Satisfaction Survey to entire team (75+) - 2x year
- Questions surrounding the yearly holiday party - once a year
- Surveys around changes within the organization (as needed)

In any of these situations, we've found Typeform to be user-friendly, and easy for our teams to complete. Also, those involved in the creation of the surveys have had an easy time putting them together. Even with a few improvements that could be made, it's still a great tool.
