# Open-source alternatives to Jotform

> Open-source alternatives to Jotform that run locally, allow commercial use and need no paid API include XIAOJUSURVEY (form and survey builder, conditional logic and branching, response analytics and exports and integrations and webhooks; Apache-2.0). None of the 10 projects we track covers all 6 Jotform jobs, so most people combine two or more.

Jotform: Hosted drag-and-drop form builder with a large template library, conditional logic, response tables and reports, payment gateway fields, PDF forms and e-signatures, and many integrations; submission limits depend on the plan. Pricing: See pricing page (checked 2026-10-16). Facts checked 2026-10-16.

## Common questions

### Is there a free, open-source alternative to Jotform?

Yes. Typebot, XIAOJUSURVEY, Formbricks, LimeSurvey and SurveyKing are free to download and run on your own computer without paid API keys. Each covers only part of what Jotform does, so check which job you need.

### Can I do form and survey builder locally without a Jotform subscription?

Yes, with Formbricks (AGPL-3.0-only), LimeSurvey (GPL-2.0-or-later) and Nextcloud Forms (AGPL-3.0-or-later). Check the hardware notes and licence conditions on each page before you start.

### Can I do conditional logic and branching locally without a Jotform subscription?

Yes, with Formbricks (AGPL-3.0-only), LimeSurvey (GPL-2.0-or-later) and SurveyKing (MIT). Check the hardware notes and licence conditions on each page before you start.

### Which Jotform alternatives can I use commercially?

Confirmed: SurveyJS Form Library, SurveyKing and XIAOJUSURVEY. With conditions: Formbricks, Form.io, HeyForm, LimeSurvey, Nextcloud Forms, OpnForm and Typebot. This is not legal advice; read each licence.

### Does any open-source project replace all of Jotform?

Not as of 2026-10-16. Form and survey builder, conditional logic and branching, response analytics and exports, payments in forms, integrations and webhooks and PDF forms and e-signatures are covered by different projects.
