Why Switch

Where Forms Expert Wins — and Where Paperform Does

Paperform makes beautiful document-style forms. We’re fair on design, and on the embed behavior and free tier where Forms Expert pulls ahead.

Embeds that auto-resize

The @forms.expert/sdk embed (React, Vue, or vanilla JS) grows and shrinks with the form — no inner scrollbars, no clipped fields. Paperform's iframe embed doesn't auto-resize the same way, which makes long or multi-page forms awkward on the host page.

A real free tier, not a trial

Start at $0 with 100 submissions a month and stay there — no time limit. Pricing is flat at $0/$9/$29/$99 with stated monthly limits and no per-response cliff.

One definition, three channels

The same form ships as a hosted page, an auto-resizing widget, and a REST endpoint with signed webhooks — set a type field, never rebuild.

Where Paperform is stronger

Paperform's design freedom runs deeper: richer landing-page-style customization with custom HTML/CSS and multiple custom domains. If pixel-level branded design or many custom domains are central to you, Paperform is a fair choice.

Coming From Paperform

Yes. The @forms.expert/sdk embed (React, Vue, or vanilla JS) auto-resizes as fields, pages, and validation messages change — no scrollbars or clipped content. Paperform's iframe embed does not auto-resize the same way, which is the concrete gap we close.
