No credit card needed. No rush to upgrade.
Published by Youform. Reviewed . See sources and method.
Cognito Individual includes 100 monthly entries. Youform Free includes unlimited responses under fair use, useful for a signup link with growing traffic. Both tools already provide unlimited free forms. [1]
Youform Pro includes your domain, logo, branding removal, partial submissions, and advanced analytics at $29/month on monthly billing. Consider that bundle when the job is branded intake rather than a multi-stage record workflow. [4]
FIND YOUR FIT
Choose Youform for signups, feedback, and ordinary intake when a monthly entry allowance is the obstacle. Keep collection free under fair use and connect responses to existing tools.

PRICE REALITY CHECK
Free is the starting point. Paid tiers, usage add-ons, and enterprise quotes can change the bill quickly, so compare the plan you would actually need.
Cognito Pro is $24/month in the reviewed monthly view, with two users and 2,000 monthly entries. Youform Pro is $29/month with three users and unlimited responses under fair use. Youform Free may cover ordinary collection; Cognito Free can suit a small payment form. Repeating sections and workflow automation can matter more than either allowance. [1][2][4]
