VideoAsk alternativeCollect video replies. Stop counting minutes.
A VideoAsk alternative for video, audio, and text answers. People record right inside your form. Start free, or choose Pro for $29/month with no monthly recording limit.
On Youform Free, a one-minute answer and a five-minute answer each count as one response. You get 25 recording responses each month across your organization. Pro removes that monthly limit for $29/month, under fair use.
Record right inside the form
People choose Video or Audio and start recording. They can try again before sending, upload a file they already have, or type an answer when you allow it. No separate recording app is needed.
Get the video and the details in one place
Ask for a name, email, rating, file, or signature alongside a video answer. Show different follow-up questions with conditional logic. You can use the same builder for your other forms too.
Watch it, hear it, or read it
Open a response in Results to play or download the recording. Read a transcript when speech is detected. Your own question videos can have captions, a chosen thumbnail, and a trimmed start and end.
You want a video answer and the details that go with it.
Ask for a customer story, an applicant introduction, or a client brief. Collect the recording, name, email, and other answers in one form. Choose Youform when that is the job you need done.
VideoAsk supports live calls and back-and-forth video replies. If you use those every day, keep them in mind before switching. Youform collects answers through a form.
Live calls. VideoAsk lets people call you from a form on paid plans. Youform’s recording block is for answers you review later.
Back-and-forth replies. VideoAsk lets you reply to a response with another video or audio message. Choose it if that ongoing conversation is part of your service.
