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](/docs/fields/calculated).
- Operators run the form entirely from Typeform's builder and nothing downstream needs your app's identity or markup.

## Key differences

| Decision | Fillo | Typeform |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Rendered form | Native React or DOM controls, fully headless UI, or a hosted page | Typeform-hosted experience loaded through its embed modes and SDK |
| Authoring | Dashboard or typed `defineForm()` schema | Typeform builder and platform APIs |
| Logic model | Field visibility, page jumps, early completion, and numeric calculated fields | Branching, variables, calculations, scoring, and multiple endings |
| Application identity | Optional server-verified respondent ID from your app | URL parameters, hidden fields, and Typeform response context |
| File destination | Browser-direct upload to connected Google Drive, Box, or S3-compatible storage such as Amazon S3 or Cloudflare R2 | Files collected through Typeform and accessed from results or export links |
| Response limits | Fillo publishes monthly completed-response allowances | Typeform response limits depend on the account plan and apply across its forms |

Check [Fillo plans and limits](/docs/limits) and Typeform's current [response-limit documentation](https://help.typeform.com/hc/en-us/articles/360040197372-Response-limits) 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 Typeform | Expected work |
| --- | --- |
| Linear questions with one ending | Rebuild the fields and pages, publish, and replace the embed |
| Branching, calculations, hidden fields, uploads, and integrations | Map question references to stable IDs, rebuild numeric calculations as calculated fields, and test every branch and destination |
| Scoring, several endings, payments, or payload-dependent automations | Redesign the flow and update downstream consumers before cutover |

## Next step

[Open the editor](/new) and rebuild one real form first. If it works for your team, read [Migrate from Typeform](/docs/migrate/typeform) for the full checklist.
