A Formsite alternative for forms and signed PDFs

Where Formsite is better

• Forms that hand off to other forms

  Workflow logic links related Formsite forms so an application can move through stages, with unlimited workflows from the Business plan. There is no equivalent here at all. Each form stands alone, and anything resembling a multi stage process has to be assembled by a person or by code listening on a webhook.

• Order forms that take the money

  Stripe order forms are a documented Formsite feature, with PayPal Business, Authorize.net and Braintree named alongside. No form here charges anyone. For a property manager taking an application fee or a club taking a deposit, that gap has to be filled with a separate payment link and manual reconciliation.

• A ready made template for the industry

  Formsite's template gallery is organised by industry, which is genuinely faster than writing a brief when a standard form already exists. Generation is the answer here, and it is good at producing a sensible first draft, but it is still a draft that someone has to read carefully before it collects real data.

• An established signing integration

  DocuSign is the default in many industries, and Formsite connects to it directly, so signed documents land in the account the business already audits. Signing here is built in and certified, which is convenient, but it is not the signing provider a landlord's agency or a lender may already require.

Where OneCraft is different

• Nothing is counted per form

  Formsite meters results per form, from 500 on the Personal plan to 50,000 on Enterprise, and caps the number of forms too. The published plans here count AI credits only, so an application form that suddenly attracts a thousand submissions in a week does not change the bill, and neither does building the tenth form this month.

• The PDF is designed, not dumped

  The response PDF has its own editor working on a twenty pixel grid, so a tenancy application can print in the order an agency reads it rather than in the order the questions were asked. A blank template PDF downloads with no plan gate for applicants who still want to fill it in by hand.

• Signing finishes inside the same account

  With the add-on on, a submitted application becomes a signing envelope with up to 25 recipients, verification by email link, access code or six digit code, an append only trail of 18 event types chained by hash, and a PAdES certified PDF with a certificate of completion listing hashes, IP addresses and consent timestamps.

• Two form types share one builder

  Classic forms carry the design blocks, the e-signature component and the table and chart blocks. Conversational forms ask one question at a time with their own 25 components and 25 themes, and add recorded audio and video answers. Both are generated from the same prompt box.

Per form limits against per account credits

Formsite's pricing on 20 September 2026 runs from Personal at $21 a month, or $249.95 for the year, with 5 forms and 500 results per form, through Professional at $34 or $399.95, Business at $59 or $699.95, Business Plus at $84 or $999.95, to Enterprise at $209 a month or $2499.95 yearly with 1,000 forms, 50,000 results per form, 10GB of file space and twenty sub-users. Every tier meters both forms and results. OneCraft lists $0, $8, $25 and $125 a month against 150, 500, 1,500 and 7,500 AI credits and prints no limit on forms, results or storage. An agency running three high volume forms is billed very differently under the two models, and the crossover point is worth calculating before switching either way.

Moving an application form across

A single self contained form moves well. Export it to PDF, attach the file to the generator on a paid plan, and check the rebuilt fields for required flags, option lists and upload rules, remembering that only images and PDFs can be collected here. What does not move is the workflow: a Formsite chain of linked forms has no target, and neither does a Stripe order step or a DocuSign connection. Download the results before closing the account, because nothing is carried over automatically.

The limits of the comparison

Formsite does not publish a template count, a component count or a theme count on the pages read for this page, and HIPAA is not described there either, so no claim about a compliance tier appears in the table. Quotes are taken from the features, pricing and templates pages on the date above and trimmed to the claim itself. Anything changed since then will not be reflected, which is why every cell carries its own check date.

Checking the right hand column

The OneCraft figures come from an internal ledger read out of the product source, including 41 component types across two toolkits, the twenty pixel grid the PDF layout editor works on, the five minute polling ceiling on PDF generation, the two allowed upload type switches, and the eighteen audited events behind a certified signature. Absences are ledger entries too, so the no answers on payments and workflow, and the limit of jump rules to conversational forms, are verified statements rather than gaps in research.

Who should stay with Formsite

Stay with Formsite if forms hand off to each other through workflow logic, if an order form has to take payment, if DocuSign is the required signing provider, or if the template library is what makes the work fast. None of those are matched here.
