The short version

  • Only Wufoo has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Device Magic neither plan publishes a price and both carry a three user minimum billed annually, so a two-person business cannot buy it at all and a small firm cannot benchmark the quote against published competitors; Wufoo free plan caps at 5 forms and 100 entries

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Device Magic

  • Neither plan publishes a price and both carry a three user minimum billed annually, so a two-person business cannot buy it at all and a small firm cannot benchmark the quote against published competitors
  • Device Magic is now part of GoCanvas, which sells an overlapping mobile forms product, so buyers should ask directly about long-term investment in Device Magic before signing a multi-year term
  • Per user per month pricing means seasonal and occasional field staff consume full seats, and businesses with a large casual crew pay for licences that are used a few weeks a year
  • It captures and delivers data but does not manage the work itself, so there is no job costing, no scheduling depth and no invoicing, and it usually sits alongside a field service management system rather than replacing one
  • PDF layout control is the main reason to buy it and is also the most fiddly part of the product; complex certificate layouts take real configuration effort and are not something a field supervisor will maintain

Wufoo

  • Free plan caps at 5 forms and 100 entries
  • Starter plan ($16.25/mo) still limits to 10 forms and 1,000 entries per month
  • Accepting payments requires the Professional tier ($33.25/mo) or higher; Free and Starter tiers cannot take payments at all

On PAID accounts, if you exceed the number of entries allowed for the month, a fee of $0.05 USD per entry over the limit will be charged to your account at the end of your billing period.

Device Magic: Who owns Device Magic?

It is part of GoCanvas, which also sells a competing mobile forms product.

Wufoo: Are there file upload restrictions?

Maximum individual file size is 25MB per field and 100MB per form (on higher-tier plans). Storage is only available on paid accounts.

Device Magic: Does it work with no signal?

Yes, that is the main use case. Forms and reference data are held on the device and submissions sync when connectivity returns.

Wufoo: What happens to free accounts that exceed limits?

On FREE accounts, forms will be deactivated once they have exceeded the maximum number of entries allowed for a given month.

Device Magic: Is there a submission limit?

No. Both plans list unlimited forms, unlimited submissions and unlimited lifetime data storage, so the cost variable is seats.

Wufoo: How many fields can I add to a form?

Approximately 100 fields max, though this depends on field type (paragraph fields are limited to 10 per form).
