Formclick vs Jotform
Jotform: hosted form builder with a large template library. Formclick: a form backend for the HTML forms on your own website.
The short answer. Jotform is a full hosted form builder with limits on forms, submissions, views and storage per plan. Formclick is a backend for forms you write yourself, with unlimited forms on every plan. Choose Jotform for a no-code builder with many field types, payments and HIPAA options; choose Formclick to keep your own HTML and pay less for submission volume.
What is Jotform?
Jotform lets you build forms in a drag-and-drop editor, host them on Jotform and embed them on your site. Plans set limits on active forms, monthly submissions, form views, upload space and stored submissions. HIPAA features are offered on the Gold and Enterprise plans.
What is Formclick?
Formclick is a form backend. You point any HTML form at https://api.formclick.io/submit with an access key, and every submission is filtered for spam, emailed to you, saved in a dashboard and optionally sent on to your tools. There is no server to run and no form builder to learn: the form stays in your own code. See all features.

Which should you choose?
Choose Formclick if…
- You have many small forms across sites and don’t want a per-form limit.
- Your developers already build the front end and only need a backend.
- You want 250 free submissions a month rather than 100.
Choose Jotform if…
- You want a no-code builder with a large template library and many field types.
- You need HIPAA features (Gold or Enterprise).
- You need built-in payments, e-signatures or approval workflows inside the form tool.
Formclick’s limitations
- Formclick does not include a visual drag-and-drop form builder: you (or your developer) write the form. If you want a no-code builder, a hosted builder will be faster.
- Conditional logic, multi-step layouts and calculations are things you build in your own front-end code. Formclick handles what happens after Submit.
- File uploads need the Pro plan and are limited to 5 MB per file.
- Formclick launched in November 2026, so it has a shorter track record than long-established tools.
Verdict
Jotform covers more use cases inside one hosted product, especially for non-developers and regulated industries. Formclick is the leaner choice when the form already lives on your website and you only need submissions handled well.
FAQ
