If you mean form builders / workflow forms like Fillout, the best alternatives depend on what you value most: design, logic, integrations, payments, or internal workflows. Here are the strongest options:

Best overall alternatives

1) Tally

  • Best for: Simple, fast, affordable forms
  • Why people like it: Very generous free plan, clean UI, easy to use
  • Good for: Lead capture, surveys, registrations, basic workflows
  • Tradeoff: Less powerful than Fillout for advanced workflow-style forms

2) Typeform

  • Best for: Polished, conversational forms
  • Why people like it: Great user experience and branding
  • Good for: Marketing forms, quizzes, surveys, high-conversion landing-page forms
  • Tradeoff: Can get expensive quickly; some logic/features require higher tiers

3) Jotform

  • Best for: Feature-rich traditional forms
  • Why people like it: Huge template library, tons of integrations, strong payment/support options
  • Good for: Business forms, order forms, applications, approvals
  • Tradeoff: UI can feel less modern/clean than Fillout

4) Google Forms

  • Best for: Free, basic forms
  • Why people like it: Easy, free, ubiquitous
  • Good for: Internal surveys, quick data collection, simple quizzes
  • Tradeoff: Weak branding and limited logic/workflow capability

5) Airtable Forms

  • Best for: Forms tied directly to a database/workflow
  • Why people like it: Great if you already use Airtable as your backend
  • Good for: Internal ops, lightweight intake, structured data collection
  • Tradeoff: Less flexible as a standalone form product
