Where the two are the same (8)

These work the same way on both, so nothing changes here if you switch.

Typeform cells checked . Each links to its source. Report an out-of-date row. Typeform is a trademark of its owner. PulseFormCreator is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Typeform.

Answering on a phone, one question at a time

One question fills the screen, with Back and Next at the bottom. People who would rather not draw can type their name instead. On Typeform, the signature question needs a paid plan; here it is free.

Typeform’s transitions are more polished than ours. What you get here is the same one-at-a-time flow, with no monthly response cap.

After a lead or a score comes in

If your typeforms collect leads or feedback, the follow-up can run here too. Each step is set up once in the Workflows tab and runs on every response.

  1. Know which lead to call first

    Turn on AI triage and each response gets a summary, a P1–P3 priority and tags, so the urgent ones stand out.

  2. Answer from the response

    Reply to the person from their response, and their answer lands in the same thread. On Pro, AI drafts the reply for you to edit and send.

  3. Let them book a call

    A Book a time button on the thank-you screen passes their name and email to your booking page.

  4. Follow up until they answer Pro

    Three emails over a week, which stop the moment they reply or unsubscribe.

  5. Win back half-finished forms Pro

    People who typed an email and stopped get one reminder, with a link that brings back their answers.

How to move from Typeform

There is no Typeform importer, so moving means rebuilding each form. AI drafting does most of the typing; the only importer here reads Tally forms.

  1. Download your responses first. Typeform exports them as CSV or XLSX (Typeform’s export help (opens in a new tab)). They are not imported here, so keep the file.
  2. Paste your questions into AI drafting. Copy the question list from the typeform, paste it into AI drafting (up to 2,000 characters) and ask it to keep your wording, as in the list below. The first questions appear within a few seconds.
  3. Check the draft against the original. AI drafting treats your list as a brief: it may reword a question, keeps choice lists to six options or fewer, and adds a follow-up after a rating. It does not draft file-upload questions, so add those from the Add menu. A short form like this one takes a few minutes to check.
  4. Pick the layout and add the logic. Choose One question at a time in the Design tab, then add rules and endings as cards in the canvas. How logic works here.
  5. Swap the embed and test. Copy the new snippet from the Share tab, send one test response, then close the typeform so the old link stops taking answers.

Common questions

Response limits, layout, price, moving your forms and your old responses.

How many responses does Typeform’s free plan allow?
10 a month across all your forms, according to Typeform’s Free plan help page. Basic includes 100. PulseFormCreator’s free plan has no monthly ceiling, within the published fair use thresholds of 50,000 responses a month.
Can PulseFormCreator show one question at a time?
Yes. Choose One question at a time in the Design tab, on any plan, or keep all questions on one page. How the two layouts work. Typeform’s transitions are more polished than ours.
Is PulseFormCreator cheaper than Typeform?
Pro is US$20.99 a month against US$39 for Typeform Basic, and US$215.88 a year against US$336 for Basic billed yearly. Pro also removes our badge, which on Typeform starts at Plus, US$79 a month. Typeform says it experiments with pricing, so check its page before you decide.
Can I import my typeforms?
There is no Typeform importer; the importer we have reads Tally forms only. Rebuild each form from a template, or paste its questions into AI drafting, which takes up to 2,000 characters, then check the draft against the original.
Can I bring my Typeform responses?
Not into PulseFormCreator. Typeform exports responses as CSV or XLSX (Typeform’s export help), and nothing here imports them, so keep those files as your record. The rebuilt form starts collecting from its first new response.
What does Typeform do better?
Its look, payments, video questions and answers, multi-language forms, native CRM apps, and HIPAA and single sign-on on Enterprise. Each has a row in the list where Typeform is the better choice, linked to Typeform’s own page.
