TypeForm Review – Easy Online Survey Creator

10 Apr TypeForm Review – Easy Online Survey Creator

TypeForm is a survey software solution. Surveys can be a direct approach towards fulfilling your marketing strategy and it comes with several other benefits too. Rolling out a survey can give you valuable insights and makes you familiar with trigger words, phrases, and questions that you can use to increase your social media interaction.  Additionally, surveys can help spot recent trends and helps you define your follower demographics in support of your marketing efforts.

Forms and surveys play a pertinent role for businesses, institutions, and organizations. But sadly, as technology is making everything else a lot easier, people are finding forms increasingly boring; regardless of how easy you try to make them.

TypeForm aims to find a solution to this challenge by making forms exciting and a fun activity to fill. To make it happen, TypeForm has changed the conventional ‘text and blank boxes’ structure of the forms and uses many interactive mediums that make the target audience want to be the part of the exciting activity i.e., filling forms.  

Making a form on TypeForm is very easy yet a lot different from the other available apps in the market.  The unique features, the responsiveness of the forms to various gadgets, and many other advanced features make the TypeForm stand out from the competition.

Overview of TypeForm Benefits

Making forms is a very simple task with TypeForm’s easy to use platform. Along with a drag and drop feature, you get a ton of free templates and flexibility to customize your forms. The survey question types may include multiple choice questions, pictures to choose from, rating scales, or opinion scales.  This allows you to cater to the multiple interests of your target audience. Moreover, the interactive and user-friendly interface of TypeForm acts as the cherry on the top to create exciting, fun and meaningful forms and/or surveys.

The free API provided by TypeForm is developed keeping in mind the practical application and easy deployment.  The API allows you to easily integrate your surveys and forms with other applications and easily share on Social Media. Along with the free API, TypeForm has data export options that make your job more convenient.

Another exciting feature that makes TypeForm more powerful as a tool to create your forms and surveys is the ‘Logic Jumps.’ With ‘Logic Jumps,’ you can integrate your own survey logic with the TypeForm tools.  With TypeForm, the return rate of your surveys and forms increases manifolds; providing you with the more credible and dependable data to further process and get accurate results based on them

Cons:

Will TypeForms work for Your Survey Needs?

I think so, it’s an easy and intuitive platform that is easy to use.  However, every business has unique needs so no one software platform can be ideal for all businesses. It is futile to try to find an ideal out-of-the-box software system that meets all your business requirements. So be flexible,  try TypeForms for a few months and see if it adapts well to your needs. Test TypeForms with your unique business requirements, your staff member skill levels, budget etc.  

TypeForm Pricing Plans:

• BASIC Plan – Free
• PRO Plan – $35/Month
• PRO+ Plan –  $70/Month

Final thoughts

All the features discussed above, when combined, make your surveys and forms highly attractive to coax more and more of your target audience to fill the forms.  I found TypeForm’s user interface and design language to be more attractive and intuitive than SurveyMonkey. TypeForm also beat them on pricing.  Lastly, one of most exciting features is that you can make unlimited forms and surveys even with the free account, so it’s really a no-brainer. 

TypeForm’s low cost means that it pays for itself after a single project each year. No question about renewing each year.
