Captivating design
Do you want surveys that look like you spent tens of hours crafting the perfect design assets? A variety of icons, photos, and videos create dynamic visual effects and a better respondent journey that makes filling out your survey a joy.
Although Outgrow has similar design capabilities to Typeform, many are limited based on your plan. For example, there are no custom layout options, and only Business plans can access Outgrow’s layouts and templates. It also only has an integrated Unsplash library, limiting what you can create without external design resources.
Typeform has integrated photo, video, and icon libraries that maximize your survey’s potential and help you achieve a higher level of engagement in less time. Both tools are no-code survey creators, but Typeform allows unparalleled flexibility and design options without CSS. With Typeform, you can collect 3.5x more data, easily.*
Digestible data
Outgrow might be a better choice if you’re looking to integrate your survey with custom calculators and chatbots for advanced data collection. However, this makes Outgrow a more complicated tool to use, which isn’t ideal if you need to launch a survey with a deadline or you don’t have the time to learn how to use Outgrow.
Typeforms are easy to create quickly and adaptable to many different use cases while boosting completion rates by up to 34%.*. Our automatic reporting covers important data at a glance, like drop-off analysis, survey response rates, completion rates, and more. Use our integrations to help create extensive reports and start getting more out of your data.
Valuable features
Outgrow offers eight total content types, depending on your plan. If you need to create or use a chatbot, Outgrow can help with an Essentials or Business plan. While Outgrow offers more features at a glance, many features are restricted based on the plan you choose, including essentials like:
-
Designable welcome pages
-
HTML and CSS editing
-
Unlimited projects
-
Unlimited access to templates
-
Unlimited control over layout
-
Logic jump and conditional messaging
Typeform is easy to learn without sacrificing the valuable features you need to create a successful project. That’s why 85% of customers trust Typeform to collect business-critical data.* With just one tool, you can create surveys, forms, quizzes, and even product prototypes.
Sync data from other forms and create advanced surveys that recall previous responses or even calculate quotes for respondents on the spot. You can put as much or as little effort into your Typeform as you’d like—whether you create a completely customized layout, use one of our templates, or let AI lead the way to suggest improvements—no matter your Typeform plan.
Worthwhile integrations
Outgrow provides access to thousands of integrations, but you can only use one for standard accounts. You can add on to Agency, Enterprise, and Custom plans as needed. If you need a particular integration for your project that doesn’t connect with Typeform, then it could be worth going with Outgrow.
Otherwise, Typeform offers more flexibility because you can use multiple integrations for each project without upgrading your plan each time you need another. Though Typeform has fewer integrations overall, it has some key integrations you won’t find on Outgrow, including:
-
DocuSign
-
Adobe Sign
-
Dropbox

Knowledgeable support

With Typeform, all plans have access to email, learning forums, and self-help documents. Typeform’s Plus, Business, and Enterprise plans unlock live chat support, and email requests from Business and Enterprise plans get prioritized.

Transparent value
Outgrow has a seven-day free trial before you can choose a plan, starting at $22 per month for its Freelancer plan. However, many features are restricted, and if you want full access to the tool, it’ll run you at least $600 per month with its Business plan. In addition to limited features, you can only create five projects with the Outgrow Freelancer plan.
Typeform has a free plan option. Paid plans start at $25 per month and are billed based on responses, so you can create as many projects as you’d like. Some features are limited to paid plans, like accepting payments or allowing respondents to upload documents. But even free plans can take advantage of all question types, templates, and Formless, our AI helper, to create a well-designed survey.
