Typeform's free plan: 10 responses a month and what that really means

Ten per month, and the limit is per account, not per form. Typeform's Free plan help article says you can collect "10 responses per month across all your forms". Three forms with a few responses each will share the same ten.

The limit resets monthly and unused responses do not roll over. Deleting responses does not help either: Typeform counts a response toward the month's limit as soon as it arrives, even if you delete it later. Test submissions you send through the live link count too; preview mode, and the AI-generated test responses Typeform offers on published forms, do not.

One oddity worth knowing if you are checking this yourself: typeform.com/pricing does not print the free plan's number. Its FAQ says only that the free plan includes "a limited number of responses per month". The 10 comes from the help centre, which also warns that Typeform runs pricing experiments, so the plan in your account may differ.

Many users remember a more generous free tier, and it is widely reported that the allowance was cut from 100 to 10 during 2026. We could not verify the date or the previous figure independently: Typeform publishes no changelog for plan limits and typeform.com is excluded from the Wayback Machine. What is verifiable is today's number, and 100 responses a month is now the paid Basic plan's allowance.

More than the response cap suggests. According to the help centre, Free includes unlimited typeforms, templates and custom colors and images, logic with branching and calculations, scores and variables, URL parameters (hidden fields), multiple custom endings, embedding, spreadsheet export, basic reports, the API, and Typeform AI for building forms. Question types on Free include NPS, matrix, ranking, opinion scale, contact info and a Legal (terms acceptance) question.

Integrations are listed as included too, naming Calendly, Zapier, Google Sheets, Slack, Mailchimp, Airtable, HubSpot and Pipedrive. The same article's paid-only list then includes HubSpot and Pipedrive, so check the Connect panel in your own account before you plan around a CRM integration.

The paid-only list is long. The items people most often expect on a free tier are the payment question, file uploads, partial responses, redirect to a URL after submitting, removing Typeform branding, a brand logo, custom subdomains and domains, multi-language forms, knowledge quiz mode, the signature question, reCAPTCHA spam protection, preventing duplicate responses and auto-closing a form to new responses.

You can add most of these to a form on Free, and the form goes into trial mode: you can build and preview, but you cannot publish until you upgrade or remove the paid feature.

Typeform emails you and shows a warning in your account at 90% and again at 100% of the monthly limit. At 100%, your forms go into private mode. Anyone who opens the link sees a closed-form message instead of your questions. The forms become public again automatically when the next month starts, or as soon as you upgrade.

The practical risk is where the link lives. If it is in an email signature, a help article, an ad or a printed QR code, the person who reaches a closed form is a lead or customer you never hear from, and unless you act on the warning email, you may not notice until the month is over. On Free there is nothing to buy to keep a form open mid-month except a paid plan; response add-ons and auto-upgrade are for paid accounts.

Yes, and this changed recently. A help article updated in August 2026 says free accounts can now see and download all previously collected responses, instead of only the 10 most recent, and can download data without the 14-day wait that used to apply. If you downgraded from a paid plan, your forms and responses are not deleted; forms that use paid features go into trial mode.

One retention rule to keep in mind: Typeform's DPA says data in inactive free accounts is deleted after a 24-month period set out in its terms. If you are parking an old account, export your responses first.

Ten responses is enough to learn the builder, design a form, test logic with colleagues and decide whether Typeform's one-question-at-a-time style suits your audience. It also works for tiny, bounded jobs: a five-person team retro, a client questionnaire you send to one client, or an RSVP for a dinner.

It is not enough for anything connected to real traffic. A contact form, a lead magnet, an event signup or a customer survey sent to a list will pass ten responses quickly, often on the first day. For those, the decision is really between Basic at $28 to $39 a month and a different tool.

Zunoform's free plan gives 500 responses a month with unlimited forms, one seat and no card. It includes conditional logic, quiz scoring, hidden fields, file uploads up to 10 MB, the meeting scheduler with Google and Outlook sync, and integrations with Google Sheets, Zapier (through a pasted catch-hook URL) and webhooks. The conversational, one-question-at-a-time layout is a switch, alongside single-page and document layouts. Pro at $14.99 a month removes branding and lets you take payments through your own Stripe or PayPal account.

There is a Typeform importer that rebuilds a form's questions from its link and a Typeform personal access token. It copies the form, not the responses.

Where it does not fit: if you need unlimited free responses, Google Forms and Tally are the better free choice. Response emails on Zunoform Free go only through your own SMTP server. And Typeform has a decade of design polish and a larger integration catalog; if your team already depends on those, paying for Basic may cost less than moving.
