      <title>I Built a Free Typeform Alternative After Getting Laid Off</title>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;A year of nights and weekends. Then a layoff. Then a sprint. Today I'm shipping.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If you've ever tried to build a form with Typeform and hit the paywall the moment you got traction, this is for you.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fnzihhngkxlxut20ip77u.png" class="article-body-image-wrapper"&gt;&lt;img src="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fnzihhngkxlxut20ip77u.png" alt=" " width="800" height="533"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  What I Built
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://collectform.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Collectform&lt;/a&gt; — a completely free form builder that combines the best of two worlds:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Typeform's beautiful "one question at a time" experience&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Tally's freedom to drop images, videos, tables, and titles anywhere&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;No other tool does both. And it's free.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  What You Get For Free
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;✅ Unlimited forms&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;✅ Unlimited responses&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;✅ Partial submissions&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;✅ No branding&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;✅ Conditional logic&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;✅ Custom thank-you pages&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;✅ 30+ field types&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;✅ Custom themes&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;No trial. No credit card. No catch.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  No Signup to Try It
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I've always hated handing over my email just to see how a tool works. So with Collectform you can open the builder and explore the full UI without creating an account. Checkout the &lt;a href="https://collectform.com/create/demo" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;form builder preview&lt;/a&gt; here.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  What's Coming Next
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;🔗 Google Sheets, webhooks &amp;amp; n8n integrations&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;📅 Inbuilt scheduler — handle bookings directly inside your form flow&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Try It
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;👉 &lt;a href="https://collectform.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;collectform.com&lt;/a&gt; — No signup required to explore.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I'd love your honest feedback. What's missing? What would make this your daily driver?&lt;/p&gt;
