Key JotForm Features

JotForm offers uses a variety of tools to help in building surveys and organizing the data collected. The most important features include:

1. Templates and Themes

JotForm offers templates and themes to use with your surveys. You can choose from over 10,000 available templates for free and create a survey that appeals the most to your audience. While this may make it difficult to determine which template will work the best, the variety of choices means you can always find something that will produce the desired results. Since the template library is organized by categories and is completely searchable, you can find templates that define your brand and favorite the ones you would like to reuse.

A minor difference exists between JotForm themes and templates. While the templates are complete forms that you can customize based on your needs, themes give you the colors you want to use. The templates focus on customizing the final look of your survey rather than its content. Themes, on the other hand, come with non-standard designs and colorful backgrounds. Therefore, templates are almost ready to use, but themes will require you to pair them with a design to create a form.

2. Apps Integration and Widgets

In addition to templates and themes, JotForm also offers a wide range of app integrations, which allow users to work with most other business software. For instance, you can send notifications about form entries to Google or Slack, accept payments through Square or PayPal, or store submitting files in Google Drive, Dropbox, or Box. With almost 200 apps available for integration, working with JotForm has been completely simplified.

Jot form also provides user-friendly widgets, which add functionality to the forms. For instance, you may use a widget to take photos with a webcam, let respondents e-sign forms, embed files, or attach videos or images. JotForm also allows you to add collaborators to a form for easier teamwork and collaboration, You only need to send them a shareable link to access the form without having to create multiple JotForm accounts. Teams can also benefit from simultaneous editing, which allows members to contribute to a project by editing specific areas.

3. Interface and In Use

Although JotForm’s website is not the most organized, it is easy to use and apply all features. You can access the dashboard that gives you control over other aspects of the platform. From here, you can create new forms, manage existing ones, and share some with colleagues.

Creating a new form is pretty straightforward. You can choose to have all your questions on a single page or create a question for every slide. Then pick a template and theme that works well with your organization. The drag-and-drop feature in the form editor is extremely intuitive. It comes with elements that cover all the basics of creating a form, including short answers and multiple-choice responses. It is also easy to edit the content based on the data that you need.

JotForm usually requires a few theme customizations and setting when creating forms. However, this is in any way overwhelming and neither does it complicate the process.

After all, you get to preview the form before releasing it into the world.

Plans and Pricing

JotForm Enterprise offers one of the affordable form builders compared to its competitors. The platform offers an attractive free plan, which comes with 5 forms, 100 submissions/month, and 10 payments/month. This gives a clear distinction between different types of users and the magnitude of their form needs. The basic plan is particularly useful for individuals and small businesses that do not have a high volume of documentation. The only downside of the free version is that the surveys and other comes will come with Jotform branding instead of your own custom logo.

You can build up to 25 forms, make 1,000 submissions in a month, get 10 GB of content space, and access unlimited storage for response collection.

Users can also upgrade to the Gold plan, which is the most expensive. This one costs $99 per month and provides uses with an unlimited number of forms.
