Open source alternatives to Typeform

What Typeform does

Typeform is a hosted builder for forms, surveys, quizzes, tests and polls, known for its layout that shows one question at a time. It is used for lead generation, registrations, applications and customer or employee feedback. Plans add conditional logic, webhooks and integrations, video questions and answers, AI-assisted form creation, analytics such as drop-off rates and conversion tracking, and tools for contacts and automation. Typeform has also added products for go-to-market workflows (Growth Flow), AI-moderated research studies (Research Flow) and a connection for AI assistants over MCP.

Why people look for an alternative

• Response allowances. Every paid plan includes a set number of responses per month. More responses mean a higher plan, or custom limits on Enterprise.
• Features spread across tiers. Removing Typeform branding and using a custom subdomain start on the middle plan, drop-off rates and conversion tracking on a higher one, and SSO and HIPAA compliance are Enterprise features.
• Choice of hosting region. The pricing page lists the choice between a US and an EU data center as Enterprise-only, so other customers cannot pick where their responses are stored.
• No self-hosting. Forms and answers exist only on Typeform’s service, so there is no on-premises option for organizations that must keep data in-house.

What to compare in an alternative

1. Form style. One question at a time, a classic page, or both. HeyForm offers the conversational layout plus classic and popup modes; most other tools use page-based forms.
2. Logic and fields. Conditional logic, hidden fields, variables and calculations, and specialist fields such as payments, signatures and file uploads.
3. Integrations in the open source edition. Some hosted plans list connectors that are not in the self-hosted code. Check which ones you would get, and whether webhooks and an API cover the rest.
4. Branding and embedding. Custom domains, removal of the vendor’s badge, custom CSS and embed options. In open-core tools some of these need a paid license.
5. Volume and data location. Self-hosted editions do not cap responses, and some hosted plans let you choose an EU region.

Which one to choose

For Typeform-style lead forms, quizzes and feedback surveys, HeyForm is the closest match. It has a one-question-at-a-time mode and payment, signature and legal terms fields, and its whole repository is AGPL-3.0, but self-hosters get webhooks rather than ready-made connectors. OpnForm suits everyday business forms with logic, computed variables, Stripe payments and many notification and automation integrations. It has a free cloud plan, but free self-hosted instances are limited to two users. If your Typeform use is mostly NPS, satisfaction and product research, Formbricks adds targeted website and in-app surveys and EU hosting, with teams, SSO and branding removal in its paid enterprise code.
