Where each one falls short

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

Jotform

  • Free Starter tier caps at 5 active forms and 100 submissions per month
  • Bronze plan ($39/mo, or $34/mo billed yearly) still limits to 25 active forms and 1,000 monthly submissions
  • HIPAA-compliant forms are only available on Gold and above; Enterprise pricing for multi-user accounts is not published and requires contacting sales

Paragon

  • No price is published for either plan, and both require a quote
  • Cost scales with the number of customer tenants using the integrations, so the bill follows an end customer count rather than the vendor's own usage
  • SAML SSO, self hosting, dynamic field mapping and SLAs are all Enterprise only
