Wufoo was great in its decade. Jotform has spent the last few years actively shipping past it.
Jotform wins on basically every dimension that matters in 2026: features, integrations, payments, HIPAA, pricing, roadmap velocity. Wufoo only makes sense if you're already locked into the SurveyMonkey ecosystem.
Wufoo is owned by SurveyMonkey and has been on slow maintenance for years. The product still works, the UI is clean, and basic forms behave fine. But the integration list is short, payments are limited, the workflow tooling is thin, and the roadmap moves at a glacial pace compared to active competitors. Pricing: free tier (100 entries/month), paid plans $14.08-$74.08/mo.
Jotform has spent the last five years aggressively expanding the platform. Native HIPAA on the Gold plan ($99/mo billed annually), 40+ payment providers, 150+ integrations, native approvals and e-signatures, a built-in submission management layer (Inbox, Tables), AI form builder, and an active monthly release cadence. Pricing starts at $34/mo and scales with submissions.
There are very few buyer profiles in 2026 where Wufoo is the right answer. If you're already deep in the SurveyMonkey ecosystem and want unified billing, sure. For everyone else, Jotform is the obvious pick. More features, better integrations, lower effective price, and a roadmap that's still moving.
| Dimension | Jotform | Wufoo | Winner |
|---|---|---|---|
| Price | Free tier (100 submissions/mo). Paid from $34/mo. Gold $99/mo with HIPAA. | Free tier (100 entries/mo). Starter $14.08/mo, Professional $29.08/mo, Advanced $74.08/mo. | Competitor |
| Roadmap velocity | Monthly feature releases. Active investment in AI, workflow automation, payments, integrations. | Slow. Owned by SurveyMonkey since 2011, on maintenance mode for years. Few new features. | Jotform |
| Integrations | 150+ native: HubSpot, Salesforce, Mailchimp, Zoho, Slack, Stripe, QuickBooks, Airtable, Google Workspace, plus Zapier/Make. | Smaller native list. SurveyMonkey ecosystem tools, plus Zapier. Most integration depth has stagnated. | Jotform |
| Payments | 40+ payment providers natively. Products, subscriptions, donations, coupons, tax. | Stripe, PayPal, Braintree, Authorize.Net. Adequate, narrower than Jotform, no recent expansion. | Jotform |
| HIPAA | Gold plan ($99/mo billed annually) with BAA. Available without enterprise sales. | Available on Advanced plan ($74.08/mo) and up. Higher price point for the same compliance. | Jotform |
| Workflow tools | Native approvals, e-signatures, PDFs, Inbox, Tables. Whole workflow layer in-product. | Basic notifications and reports. Most workflow logic moves to Zapier or external tools. | Jotform |
| Form UX | Multi-page, classic, card layouts. Themes, custom CSS, AI form builder. | Clean classic builder. Functional but dated. No conversational or modern UX modes. | Jotform |

Wufoo was a great product in 2010. SurveyMonkey acquired it in 2011 and the pace of innovation collapsed. The team that ships modern competitors hasn't been at Wufoo in years.
Jotform has been investing aggressively the entire time: HIPAA, payments, AI builder, workflow tools. The gap on integrations alone is significant.
If you're shopping new in 2026, this isn't really a comparison. Pick Jotform. The only reason to land on Wufoo today is inheriting it from a team that signed up in 2014 and hasn't changed.
If you're already on Wufoo and considering migration, the move is almost always worth it. Just budget for rebuilding the forms since there's no automated migration path.

View kitSlowly. Wufoo has been on maintenance mode under SurveyMonkey ownership for several years. New features ship rarely, the integration list has stagnated, and the product hasn't kept pace with active competitors like Jotform, Typeform, or newer entrants. Existing forms keep working but the platform isn't where most teams want to invest in 2026.
Wufoo is cheaper at the entry tier ($14.08/mo Starter vs Jotform's $34/mo entry plan), but you give up significant features. Jotform's $39/mo Gold plan includes HIPAA. Wufoo's HIPAA option is on the Advanced plan at $74.08/mo. Effective price-per-feature, Jotform is the better value at every tier above the free plan.
If you're using Wufoo for anything beyond basic contact forms, yes. The feature gap on workflows, integrations, payments, and HIPAA is wide enough that migration usually pays back within a few months. The catch: there's no automated migration path. You rebuild forms manually. Budget that into the decision.
Yes, on the Advanced plan ($74.08/mo). Jotform offers the same HIPAA support on the Gold plan ($99/mo billed annually). Roughly half the price for the same compliance. If HIPAA is in scope, Jotform wins on cost alone.
Jotform, by a wide margin. Jotform supports 150+ native integrations and continues to add more. Wufoo's native integration list is smaller and hasn't grown in years. Both rely on Zapier for the long tail, but Jotform's native coverage means less integration tax.
