Detail
Formstack's entry-level Forms plan costs $83 per month (billed annually) and gives you just 25 forms, 1 user, and 1,000 submissions per form. Need another user? That is an extra $20 per month. Need more submission capacity? Another $50 per month.
BuoyForms Professional costs $29 per month and includes 25 published forms, 1,000 submissions per month, custom branding, webhooks, and file uploads. The Business plan at $79 per month adds unlimited forms, analytics, conditional logic, and team collaboration for up to 5 users. You get more features for less than Formstack's starting price.
Detail
Formstack does not offer a free plan. They provide a 14-day free trial, after which you must commit to at least $83 per month. If you are evaluating form builders or running a small project, there is no way to use Formstack without paying.
BuoyForms offers a permanent free plan with 5 forms, 100 submissions per month, all basic field types, pre-built themes, embeddable forms, and email notifications. There is no credit card required and no time limit. You can use BuoyForms for free as long as you need.
Detail
BuoyForms includes a built-in analytics dashboard, guided templates, and team workflow controls in its core form-building product.
The analytics dashboard gives you real-time submission tracking, field-level drop-off analysis, completion time metrics, and conversion funnels. Formstack provides basic submission data and integrates with third-party analytics, but lacks a dedicated form analytics dashboard.
Detail
Formstack charges per additional user ($20/month on top of the base plan), which means a team of 5 on the Forms plan would pay $83 + $80 = $163 per month minimum -- and that is still limited to 25 forms.
BuoyForms Business includes 5 team members at $79 per month with unlimited forms, 10,000 submissions, and full collaboration features. Scale adds operational controls for larger teams, while Salesforce Integration Suite and Enterprise are scoped through sales for CRM validation, SSO, and SLA-backed support. No hidden per-seat charges.
Detail
Formstack has a genuine advantage if you need document automation and eSignature workflows. Their Suite plan bundles form building with document generation, eSignatures, and workflow automation -- capabilities BuoyForms does not currently offer.
If your primary need is collecting form data, building surveys, or creating lead generation forms, BuoyForms provides a better value. If you need a complete document workflow platform with eSignatures, Formstack's Suite plan may be worth the premium.
Pricing
BuoyForms gives you more forms, more users, and more product depth at every price point.
