Typeform starts at $25 a month and meters your responses; Outgrow starts at $14 and scales up fast with volume. That's $300 a year and climbing to run a quiz. Quizcraft is $29 once, with unlimited quizzes and unlimited responses, because it runs on your server.
If you've searched for a Typeform alternative, Quizcraft is the pay-once option worth putting at the top of the list: Quizcraft is $29, one time, and covers the same core job Typeform charges $25+/mo for.
What makes Quizcraft the pick for 2026
- One-question-per-screen builder — Multiple choice, image choice, rating and text questions in a clean flow you can reorder freely.
- Conditional branching — If answer = X, jump to question Y rules resolved server-side so the logic cannot be tampered with.
- Scoring and result buckets — Per-option points with score-range or answer-mapped results; points and criteria never reach the browser.
- Lead-gen gate — Optionally require an email before revealing the result — the quiz-as-lead-magnet pattern without per-lead pricing.
- Analytics and CSV export — Views, submissions, per-question drop-off funnel and captured emails, exported as CSV with formula-injection protection.

Common questions
Is it really free on GitHub?
Yes — Quizcraft is MIT-licensed at github.com/bensblueprints/quiz-builder-mvp. The $29 buys the packaged installer and 1-click setup; building from source is free.
Where do my captured leads live?
In a SQLite file on your own box, exportable as CSV. Nothing is uploaded to us.
Is this a subscription in disguise?
No. $29 once, unlimited responses, no renewal and no license server phoning home.
The bottom line
Quizcraft won't out-feature Typeform on every axis — no subscription tool with a bigger team and a bigger roadmap loses on everything. But for the core job, $29 once against $25+/mo forever is a trade most people should at least look at. Quizcraft is part of OneTimeSuite, a catalog of pay-once apps that replace subscription SaaS.
