Comparison

The forms.app alternative built for signing.

forms.app is a great generalist form builder — but e-signatures are an afterthought: one buried field, no audit trail, no certificate, and a free tier that throttles you. tuyaform leads with document signing and keeps it unlimited and free.

Why it matters

Four reasons signers choose tuyaform

Signing is the product, not a field

forms.app hides the signature under “Legal & Consent” with just a Required toggle and a color. tuyaform gives you a full send-to-sign workflow: signers, ordering, fields, sealing.

Proof on every document

forms.app's signature has no audit trail and no certificate. Every tuyaform document ships with a timestamped audit trail and a Certificate of Completion.

No signing cap, no upgrade cliff

forms.app throttles the free tier (~100 responses/month), which also throttles e-signatures. tuyaform is unlimited — ads fund it instead of a paywall.

No watermark on free

forms.app brands free forms with “Made with forms.app.” tuyaform never watermarks your documents — free forever.

Questions

Switching from forms.app

Can I switch from forms.app to tuyaform?

Yes. You can rebuild a form in minutes with the same field types — and gain a real signing workflow on top. Import tooling for existing forms is on the roadmap.

Does tuyaform do forms, surveys and quizzes like forms.app?

tuyaform includes a drag-and-drop form builder with conditional logic, multiple pages and mobile-ready layouts. Our focus is signing, so forms that need a signature are where we shine brightest.

Is tuyaform actually free, unlike forms.app's freemium?

Yes — free forever, ad-supported, with no signing limit and no watermark. forms.app's free plan throttles responses and brands your forms; tuyaform doesn't.

Are tuyaform's signatures more legally robust?

tuyaform shows ESIGN, UETA and eIDAS validity on-page and attaches an audit trail and certificate to every document. forms.app collects only a simple drawn signature with no audit trail.

Free forever
