I Built a Free Typeform Alternative After Getting Laid Off

A year of nights and weekends. Then a layoff. Then a sprint. Today I'm shipping.

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

What I Built

Collectform — a completely free form builder that combines the best of two worlds:

• Typeform's beautiful "one question at a time" experience
• Tally's freedom to drop images, videos, tables, and titles anywhere

No other tool does both. And it's free.

What You Get For Free

• ✅ Unlimited forms
• ✅ Unlimited responses
• ✅ Partial submissions
• ✅ No branding
• ✅ Conditional logic
• ✅ Custom thank-you pages
• ✅ 30+ field types
• ✅ Custom themes

No trial. No credit card. No catch.

No Signup to Try It

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 form builder preview here.

What's Coming Next

• 🔗 Google Sheets, webhooks & n8n integrations
• 📅 Inbuilt scheduler — handle bookings directly inside your form flow
