Typeform costs $25+/mo — and unlike a tool you buy once, that bill never stops. Over three years that's roughly $900 for software doing a job your own hardware could just as easily do.
Where the subscription actually goes
$25+/mo is the sticker price. It compounds: cancel and you typically lose access to your own history, and most plans ratchet the price up as you add usage, seats or storage — the bill rarely stays flat for long.
Quizcraft: the pay-once alternative
Quizcraft does the same core job for $29, once. Self-hosted quiz builder with branching, server-side scoring, email-gate lead capture and CSV export.

Is the subscription ever still worth it?
If you need Typeform's specific ecosystem, integrations or managed infrastructure and that's genuinely load-bearing for you, the subscription earns its keep — that's a real trade-off, not a trick. Quizcraft is for everyone else: people paying every month for a job that runs fine on hardware they already own.
