Frequently Asked Questions

What are the limits of Jotform's free plan?
Jotform's free plan limits are: 5 active forms, 100 monthly submissions, 100 MB storage, 1 user account, and Jotform branding on all forms. The free plan has no expiration — it remains free indefinitely.
Can I use Jotform for free without a credit card?
Yes. Signing up for Jotform's free plan requires only an email address — no credit card needed. The free plan stays free indefinitely with no trial period and no automatic upgrade to a paid plan.
What happens when I hit the 100 submission limit?
When you reach 100 submissions on the free plan for the month, Jotform suspends your forms. Visitors see a 'Form limit reached' message. The limit resets on your monthly billing date. You can upgrade at any time to restore access immediately.

Yes. Conditional logic (show/hide fields, page skipping, calculation fields) is available on all Jotform plans including free. It is not locked behind paid tiers.
Is HIPAA available on Jotform's free plan?
