The best Paperform alternative
Paperform makes beautiful, document-style forms with no transaction fees on payments, unlimited team members and thousands of integrations, but its free plan stops at 30 submissions a month and paid plans start at $49–59. Tapzy adds email, SMS and WhatsApp code verification and a spam filter, and its free plan has no response cap.

Questions
Is Tapzy a good Paperform alternative?
Yes, if you need email, SMS or WhatsApp code verification, stronger spam filtering, or a free plan that isn't capped at 30 submissions. If design flexibility, unlimited team members or a large integration list matter most, Paperform is a strong choice.
How much does Paperform cost?
As of October 2026, Paperform's free plan includes 30 submissions a month with the Paperform badge. Pro is $59/month ($49 yearly) and Business $149/month ($124 yearly). Prices are in USD before tax.
Does Paperform verify respondents?
Paperform's pages don't list email, SMS or WhatsApp code verification for respondents; its email field can ask people to type their address twice. Tapzy has email and WhatsApp codes built in, and SMS codes through your own Twilio account.
