How we compiled this
Published self-serve USD pricing collected from each vendor's official pricing page where accessible, accessed 2026-06-14; adversarially re-verified 2026-06-15. monthlyUsd records the month-to-month (monthly-billing) rate; annual-billing monthly rates are noted in plan notes. annualDiscountPct is set when both monthly and annual rates are explicitly published, otherwise null. minutesIncluded, callsIncluded, overagePerMin, overagePerCall are null on every plan (non-telephony). monthlyUsd = null for quote-only / contact-sales tiers. VERIFICATION CORRECTIONS (2026-06-15): Typeform Basic/Plus/Business/Growth Flow monthlyUsd were stale 2023-era prices ($29/$59/$99/$349) and were corrected to current official month-to-month rates ($39/$79/$129/$379, annual $28/$56/$91/$266) from typeform.com/pricing. Tally Business was recorded null but a confirmable USD self-serve price of $89/mo exists (joinsecret.com + multiple listings; €65/mo on official EUR-only page) and was added. Tally Pro $29/mo, Jotform ($39/$49/$129), Formstack ($99/$299), Fillout ($15/$40/$75), Wufoo annual rates, Cognito Forms ($19/$39/$129), and Google Workspace ($7/$14/$22/user monthly billing) were independently confirmed and left unchanged. Google Workspace USD rates obtained from workspace.google.com with hl=en_US®ion=US query params. Wufoo official page advertises annual-billing monthly rates directly (25% annual discount).
