Build conversational forms, surveys, and quizzes with conditional logic, AI generation, and integrations. AGPL-3.0 open source alternative to Typeform.
Collect product feedback, NPS scores, and satisfaction surveys with a form that feels like a real conversation. Export to CSV or push to Google Sheets in real time.
Build contact forms, free-trial forms, and event registration flows with conditional routing. Connect to HubSpot, Mailchimp, or a webhook to drop leads directly into your CRM.
Job application forms, employee satisfaction surveys, and exit interviews run on your own infrastructure, keeping personal data out of third-party cloud form services.
Building forms that feel like a real conversation usually means paying for Typeform or Jotform. The challenge is that features that make form UX actually good (conditional logic, multiple endings, custom branding, payment collection, and AI-assisted drafting) are limited or paywalled on the major commercial form builders.
Cloud-only form tools also mean your submission data lives on someone else's servers, with no option to self-host.
HeyForm addresses both: a full conversational form experience with conditional logic, multiple endings, and integrations, running on your own infrastructure under the AGPL-3.0 license.
Questions appear one at a time in a guided sequence, like a conversation rather than a survey grid. Supports text, email, phone, picture choices, date pickers, file uploads, payment collection via Stripe, and more.
Show or hide questions based on earlier answers. Set up separate endings so respondents see different results, redirects, or follow-up steps depending on their path through the form.
Describe what you need and HeyForm generates a first draft of questions. You adjust, reorder, and refine from there, rather than starting from a blank page.
Connect to Slack, Google Sheets, Airtable, HubSpot, Mailchimp, Google Analytics, Zapier, and more via webhooks. Form responses can flow directly into the tools your team already uses.
Run HeyForm on your own servers. The AGPL-3.0 license grants full self-hosting rights for internal use, including internal commercial and team use. One-click deployments are available on Zeabur, Sealos, RepoCloud, and Alibaba Cloud.
Typeform set the standard for conversational form UX, and HeyForm covers the same interaction model: one question at a time, animated transitions, conditional logic, and custom themes. Where they differ is data ownership and pricing. HeyForm is self-hosted, so you run it on your own infrastructure with no response caps.
HeyForm also adds AI-generated question drafts and multiple distinct form endings. If you want managed cloud hosting and are comfortable with Typeform's pricing model, Typeform remains a polished option. For response volume, data ownership, or cost, HeyForm is the direct self-hosted alternative.
Jotform covers a broader range of form types, from payment forms and appointment schedulers to document signing. HeyForm is more narrowly focused on conversational surveys and lead capture forms, but runs entirely on self-hosted infrastructure with no submission caps.
The practical difference is scope: Jotform for complex form workflows with many widget types; HeyForm for teams whose main use case is a conversational survey they can self-host and own.
Tally has an unusually generous free plan: unlimited forms, unlimited submissions, conditional logic, payment collection, file uploads, password protection, and integrations with Google Sheets, Airtable, Zapier, and more. Its Pro plan ($24/month) adds custom domains, removing Tally branding, partial submissions, unlimited upload sizes, team collaboration, custom CSS, and form analytics.
Tally has no self-hosting path.
HeyForm's main advantage over Tally is data ownership: you run it on your own infrastructure under AGPL-3.0, and submission data stays on your servers. If a hosted tool with no infrastructure overhead covers your needs, Tally's free plan is very capable. If self-hosting or keeping responses on your own servers is a requirement, HeyForm is the right choice.
Yes. The AGPL-3.0 license lets you run HeyForm on your own servers at no cost, with no response caps. You can use it commercially for internal team forms. The restriction is on running a modified version as a network service for others: AGPL-3.0 requires open-sourcing those modifications. heyform.net also offers paid cloud plans if you prefer managed hosting.
HeyForm covers Typeform's core features: conversational single-question flow, conditional logic, custom theming, file uploads, and payment collection via Stripe. The main practical difference is pricing: Typeform charges per response volume on its cloud plans, while a self-hosted HeyForm has no such limit. HeyForm adds AI-generated question drafts and multiple distinct form endings.
HeyForm does not have a built-in migration importer for Typeform or Jotform. You would need to recreate forms manually or use the API. The template library covers many common form types so you are not starting from scratch.
Self-hosting runs on Docker. The stack includes a Node.js server and a React webapp. See the official self-hosting guide at docs.heyform.net/open-source/self-hosting for the current requirements and configuration steps.
Yes. Self-hosted deployments can connect a generic OpenID Connect provider such as Authelia, Authentik, or Keycloak. See the OIDC configuration guide at docs.heyform.net/open-source/configuration/oidc.
