Makeform vs Typeform: a free Typeform alternative (2026)

By the Makeform editorial team · Last updated November 7, 2026 · Pricing verified November 2026

Verdict: Choose Makeform for ongoing free response collection; choose Typeform if you want one-click setup from Claude's connector directory and only need a few responses a month.

Makeform is a free AI form builder: describe what you want to collect and it builds the form for you, with unlimited forms and submissions on the free plan. As of November 2026, Typeform Free includes unlimited forms but only 10 responses per month across them. Both offer AI form building, so the response allowance and access to particular question types matter more than the presence of AI alone.
