Cognito Forms alternative

Forms that do real work after submit.

Cognito Forms is a power-user-favorite — strong on conditional logic, calculations, payments, and unlimited submissions on the free tier. TinyForms covers the same use cases plus the database, workflows, and AI bundled at $49/mo.

Cognito only acts on submit

AI agents + workflows + email bundled

Built into the same product — no separate subscription, no glue code.

Database stores responses, not a flat list

Where it fits

Forms aren't the destination. They're the start of the work.

TinyForms is one of five products inside TinyCommand. The same submission flows through all of them — no glue code, no extra tools.

FAQ

Questions worth asking before you switch.

How is TinyForms different?

+

Beyond the form builder itself: TinyForms fetches data mid-form (CRM lookup, verification, scoring) before submit, stores responses in a real editable database, and triggers workflows + AI agents + email natively — none of which competing form tools bundle.

Can I import my existing forms?

+

Yes — paste the URL or connect your account. We import questions, branching, and design. Anything that doesn't auto-map, our team handles in your first week.

Is there really a free forever tier?

+

Yes — unlimited forms and unlimited responses for a single user. Pro at $49/mo unlocks the full bundle (forms + tables + workflows + agents + email + team seats).

What if I just need forms — not the whole bundle?

+

Free covers that. Use TinyForms standalone forever. Most teams who try it end up using the other products because they're already there.

What about data privacy and compliance?

+

Your responses live in your TinyTables — encrypted at rest, GDPR-compliant, SOC 2 in progress.
