JotForm vs. LimeSurvey: Side-by-Side
What you get at the same price point.
Pricing as of October 2026. JotForm Bronze to €24/mo when billed annually. LimeSurvey Expert €348/year (€29/mo) or €34/mo month-to-month.
The Hidden Cost of Scaling on JotForm
JotForm's pricing structure punishes growth. Your free plan gives you 100 submissions per month. Hit that limit, and you upgrade to Bronze for €24 annually (€2/month effective cost) or $34/month.
But Bronze gives you only 1,000 submissions per month. Run a popular survey or questionnaire that gets 2,000 responses? You hit the cap. Now you need Silver. Or Gold. Or Enterprise.
Each tier locks you into more submissions, but also forces you to pay for features you may not need. White-labeling? Not until Silver. HIPAA compliance? Only on Gold.
Meanwhile, you're also paying for form limits. JotForm Bronze gives you 25 forms. Need 50? Silver. Need 100? Gold.
What LimeSurvey Does Differently
LimeSurvey's pricing is simple: one monthly rate, unlimited surveys, predictable response allowances by tier. Expert costs €29/mo annually and includes 10,000 responses per year (roughly 833/month average), unlimited surveys, and white-label domains built in. No surprise upgrades. No per-submission penalties.
And if you're in the EU, your data lives in Germany, Finland, or the UK. GDPR Data Processing Agreement included. Not a separate contract. Not an extra cost. Included.
The cost difference matters when you're managing multiple surveys, multiple teams, and growing response volume. LimeSurvey Expert at €29/mo outfeatures JotForm Bronze at €24/mo. And it scales to Business (€75/mo) without the same tier-locking pain.
