Comparison
JotForm is broad and mature, but it gets expensive quickly and keeps form limits in place on paid plans. BuoyForms gives you a more focused product, unlimited forms on paid tiers, analytics, and AI generation at a much lower monthly cost.

Detail
JotForm and BuoyForms start at roughly the same point on free usage, but the difference shows up as soon as you need to upgrade.
BuoyForms Professional at $29/month gives you unlimited forms and 1,000 submissions. JotForm's comparable Bronze plan costs $34/month and still limits you to 25 forms.
At the mid-tier level, BuoyForms Business includes 10,000 submissions, unlimited forms, AI generation, analytics, conditional logic, and API access for $79/month. JotForm Gold is $99/month and still caps the number of forms you can create.
BuoyForms also uses contact sales Enterprise packaging. JotForm pushes enterprise pricing behind a sales motion.
Detail
JotForm is one of the broadest form builders on the market. It has thousands of templates, payment integrations, PDF workflows, and a large widget ecosystem.
The downside is complexity. The interface can feel crowded, and many teams end up paying for capabilities they rarely use.
BuoyForms takes a tighter product approach. The drag-and-drop builder focuses on the highest-value workflows, and the AI form generator gives teams a much faster path from idea to published form.
Detail
BuoyForms includes a dedicated analytics dashboard on the Business plan. Track submission rates, completion times, field-level drop-off, and funnels in one place.
JotForm provides basic reporting and submission tables, but it does not give you the same depth of form-performance insight out of the box. If you care about optimization, BuoyForms gives you more leverage.
Detail
JotForm wins on breadth. It offers a very large set of direct integrations, especially around payments, storage tools, and niche workflow software.
BuoyForms focuses on webhooks, core automation coverage, and the enterprise integrations teams need most, including OAuth-based Salesforce integration through the Salesforce Integration Suite and SSO/SAML through Enterprise packaging. For most teams, that narrower but more deliberate integration set is enough and costs far less.
Detail
Choose JotForm if you specifically need its enormous template library, payment collection depth, or a direct connector that is central to your workflow.
Choose BuoyForms if you want a cleaner, more modern product with built-in analytics, AI form generation, unlimited forms on paid plans, and more predictable pricing. It is especially strong for teams that care about performance data and brand control.

BuoyForms removes artificial form caps and reaches the same general capability tier at a much lower total cost.
