Typeform alternative for native product forms

Compare Typeform with Fillo when a conversational form moves into your app: your components render the fields and a typed schema lives beside the feature.

A form that feels like your product

Typeform owns the form experience. With Fillo, your app owns the route, components, and flow. Fillo handles the rules, responses, and files behind it.

The form is part of your page.

Start with Fillo's accessible controls, restyle them, or replace a field with your own component.

Product feedback

Powered by Fillo

The answer lands with its context.

See what someone sent, which account they came from, and what happened next.

Files go straight to your storage.

Send uploads browser-direct to storage you connect and keep the file with the response.

Change the UI. Keep one set of rules.

The form, server checks, response view, and export use the same IDs and rules.

Typeform is a hosted form platform known for showing one question at a time. Its forms can be shared as a link or embedded. Fillo renders the form inside your app and handles validation, uploads, and responses behind it.

Which should you choose?

When Fillo fits

  • The form belongs inside a signed-in application flow.
  • Your React or browser components must render the actual fields.
  • A typed schema should live beside the feature that uses it.
  • Uploaded files must go to customer-connected storage.
  • You want to move between a default renderer and a fully custom layout without replacing the response backend.

When to stay on Typeform

  • The one-question conversational presentation is the product requirement.
  • The form leans on Typeform's scoring, payments, or multiple endings — Fillo doesn't replace those, so they'd need a redesign first. Numeric calculations are the exception: they map to Fillo calculated fields.
  • Operators run the form entirely from Typeform's builder and nothing downstream needs your app's identity or markup.

Check Fillo plans and limits and Typeform's current response-limit documentation before estimating production volume.

Before you switch

Fillo doesn't currently provide payment collection, Typeform's scoring modes, several answer-specific endings, a hosted-page custom domain, or a Typeform importer. If one of those features defines the form, keep Typeform or redesign that part before migrating. Numeric calculations — totals and derived values — carry over as calculated fields; graded-quiz scoring doesn't.

Fillo also starts a new response history. Your Typeform CSV or file archive stays an external record — it can't be imported as Fillo responses with versions and delivery state.

What you would need to change

Existing TypeformExpected work
Linear questions with one endingRebuild the fields and pages, publish, and replace the embed
Branching, calculations, hidden fields, uploads, and integrationsMap question references to stable IDs, rebuild numeric calculations as calculated fields, and test every branch and destination
Scoring, several endings, payments, or payload-dependent automationsRedesign the flow and update downstream consumers before cutover

Next step

Open the editor and rebuild one real form first. If it works for your team, read Migrate from Typeform for the full checklist.
