Pricing Comparison
Why teams switch from Typeform to Beckon
Typeform is beautiful but expensive — and it's only forms. Beckon gives you a powerful form builder plus a full link shortener for less than Typeform's cheapest paid plan.

Beckon Pro is $9/mo vs Typeform at $25/mo. Get forms and links for less than Typeform charges for forms alone.
No response limits on free
Typeform caps you at 10 responses per month on free. Beckon gives you far more room to grow.

A closer look: Beckon vs Typeform
Pricing: Beckon saves you serious money
Typeform's pricing has become a sticking point for many users. Their free plan limits you to just 10 responses per month — enough for testing, but completely impractical for real use. To get meaningful capacity, you need the Basic plan at $25/month, and even that comes with response caps.
Beckon Pro starts at $9/month — less than half what Typeform charges for their cheapest useful plan. And unlike Typeform, Beckon includes a full URL shortener with click analytics, custom domains, and password-protected links. You're getting two tools for less than the price of one.
For teams, the savings are even more dramatic. Typeform's Business plan costs $83/month. Beckon Pro is $9/month with additional users at just $7/mo each — and includes everything: forms, links, team workspaces, and role-based permissions.
A different approach to forms
Typeform is known for its conversational, one-question-at-a-time format. It's visually impressive, but it's not always the right fit. Long forms can feel slow, and users sometimes prefer to see all fields at once — especially for straightforward data collection like contact forms, applications, or registrations.
Beckon supports traditional multi-field forms as well as multi-step forms with progress indicators. You get the flexibility to choose the right format for each use case. Need a quick contact form? Show all fields on one page. Building a detailed application? Break it into logical steps.
Both approaches have their place, but Beckon gives you the choice rather than locking you into one paradigm.
Links and forms together
Typeform is only a form builder. If you want to shorten URLs, track link clicks, or use custom domains for your marketing campaigns, you need a separate tool like Bitly.
With Beckon, you create a form and instantly share it with a branded short link. You can track how many people clicked the link, where they came from, and whether they completed the form — all in one dashboard. No switching between tools, no reconciling data from different platforms.
This integration between links and forms is uniquely powerful for marketing teams, content creators, and anyone running campaigns that need both outreach and data collection.
Custom branding without the premium
Typeform shows its branding on your forms unless you pay for a higher-tier plan. Removing the "Powered by Typeform" badge requires the Plus plan at $50/month.
Beckon lets you customise your forms and use your own domain on all plans. Your forms look like they belong to your brand, not ours. Custom domains for both links and forms are included — not hidden behind enterprise pricing.

Frequently asked questions
Can Beckon create conversational forms like Typeform?
Beckon focuses on traditional multi-field forms and multi-step forms with progress indicators. While we don't offer the one-question-at-a-time conversational format, our multi-step forms provide a similar guided experience with the flexibility to show multiple fields per step.
How many form responses can I collect on Beckon?
Response limits depend on your plan. The free tier is generous enough for testing and small projects. The Pro plan ($9/mo) offers significantly higher limits. Unlike Typeform, we don't cap you at 10 responses on the free plan.
Does Beckon have form templates?
Beckon focuses on a fast, flexible form builder rather than pre-built templates. With 20+ field types, conditional logic, and multi-step support, you can build any form quickly from scratch. Most users find they can create a professional form in under five minutes.
Can I remove Beckon branding from my forms?
Yes. Custom branding is available on paid plans, and you can use your own custom domain for hosted form pages. Your forms will look like they belong to your brand, not ours.
Does Beckon integrate with other tools?
Yes. Beckon supports webhooks for sending form data to any endpoint, including Slack, Discord, and Zapier. You also get email notifications for submissions and the ability to export data as CSV.
Why would I choose Beckon over Typeform?
Choose Beckon if you want forms and link shortening in one platform, prefer traditional multi-field forms over conversational ones, want custom branding without enterprise pricing, or simply want to save money. Beckon Pro ($9/mo) gives you more than Typeform Basic ($25/mo) for a fraction of the cost.
