Quick answer
Yes — Quizcraft is a one-time-purchase alternative to Typeform. It costs $29 once, while Typeform runs $25+/mo — about $300 per year, every year. Self-hosted quiz builder with branching, server-side scoring, email-gate lead capture and CSV export. It is for people who want the job done on their own hardware without a renewal date — not for teams that live inside Typeform's ecosystem.
The verdict
Switch to Quizcraft if you are an individual or small team paying Typeform $25+/mo for work your own machine can do. A lead-gen quiz that captures 500 emails a month climbs into Typeform's $83 tier — Quizcraft is $29, once.
Stay with Typeform if your workflow depends on its integrations, you need enterprise features (SSO, admin controls, SLAs), or your team is large enough that per-seat collaboration tooling is worth the bill. Quizcraft does not try to replicate those.

Where Typeform still wins
- Ecosystem and integrations. Established tools accumulate years of third-party integrations, templates and add-ons. If your workflow is wired into Typeform's ecosystem, switching means rebuilding that plumbing — a real cost.
- Team and enterprise features. Shared workspaces, granular permissions, SSO, audit logs and a vendor to call when something breaks — that is what the higher subscription tiers actually buy, and a pay-once app does not come with it.
- Familiarity and hiring. Typeform is the name people already know. Onboarding a team onto a tool nobody has used before takes time the subscription never charges for.
Where Quizcraft wins
- Price, permanently. $29 once versus $300/yr for as long as you use it. There is no renewal, no seat count and no tier gate.
- 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.

- After 5 years: Quizcraft is still $29 — the subscription is at $1,500.
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.
