Stay with Typeform for design, conditional logic and bigger response allowances. Switch if you want your AI to make and read forms with a plain API key. And if you want people to hand the form to their own AI. We have fewer features.

Where Typeform is better
- Design comes first. Our form page is plain and fast.
- Logic, file uploads and bigger allowances.
- A wider MCP. OAuth sign-in. You paste no key.
Where we fit
Typeform has an MCP server too. So that is not the difference. These are:
- The person answering can use their own AI. See agent-fillable forms.
- One plain API key, and a fill connector with no sign-in.
- Signed webhooks, JSON and CSV. Every limit is public: rate limits.
On cost: Basic is $39 a month for 100 responses. Our free plan also allows 100. That is a plan limit, not equal features. Typeform does more.
Move over
- Export your old answers. The Responses API returns your data with a personal access token. We cannot import them.
- List your questions. Match each to one of 11 field types.
- Make the form. Use the quickstart, or ask your AI for
create_form. Share the link. - Add a webhook. Verify
X-AIFormAPI-Signaturewith the webhooks guide. - Keep some forms in Typeform. Logic, uploads, payments and integrations do not exist here.
