The [ability to capture data is vital](\u002F) for organizations regardless of their industry. \n\nThe best thing about online forms is that they are decently easy to create and scale. \n\nHowever, when it comes to choosing the best online form builder for fulfilling your data collection, it can get a little overwhelming given the wide array of options when looking for free form builders for personal use; or a paid plan for business needs.\n\nThe core aim of online forms is to collect data and organize it efficiently, but the user experience is something you just cannot ignore in order to sustain a business.

Hubspot Form Builder:\n\n![Hubspot forms landing page](https:\u002F\u002Fformester-strapi.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com\u002Fbest_online_form_builder_hubspot_a14f735ded.png 'Hubspot forms landing page')\n\nMore popularly known as a CRM tool, Hubspot also has a form builder which can be connected with the Hubspot CRM. Although a basic form builder, this solution allows creating forms with a drag and drop interface. Curating an online form as per dynamic requirements through conditional logic is possible with the tool.\n\nSimilar to other online form builders, Hubspot also can be used for creating a form with various question fields and creating embedded or standalone forms. The tool looks powerful if integrated with Hubspot’s CRM so that users can directly transmit the form data into the CRM. You can then leverage this data directly to run marketing campaigns.\n\n**Pricing**: Free Basic Plan; $50\u002Fmonth for automation and marketing integration\n\n### 3. Google Forms:\n\n![Google forms landing page](https:\u002F\u002Fformester-strapi.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com\u002Fbest_online_form_builder_googleform_6b9829eb8c.png 'Google forms landing page')\n\nA simple and quick form builder from Google, it is a free and efficient tool, especially for small applications. The forms can either be accessed through a link or embedded on a web page. It is a free tool and is good to begin with for users having immensely basic requirements.\n\nHowever, Google Forms do not enable full customization, and there’s no option to configure the design. Users can, however, add images and videos to make it a bit more engaging. This form is particularly suited to quick and simple forms where just the questions matter, which is not most of the customer-facing forms.\n\n**Pricing**: Free, one just needs a Google account\n\n### 4. Paperform:\n\n![Paperform landing page](https:\u002F\u002Fformester-strapi.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com\u002Fbest_online_form_builder_paperform_c98f3c3fc9.png 'Paperform landing page')\n\nPaperform makes online forms look like landing pages. Users can add photos, videos, headings and detailed long-form content to create a blog-like structure too. The tool is extensively used for creating product catalogues as it also allows users to take online payments. So an online form along with payments integration can be a handy combination for e-commerce and other online businesses.\n\n**Pricing**: Basic plan starts at $240\u002Fyear\n\n### 5. forms.app\n![a screenshot of forms.app](https:\u002F\u002Fformester-strapi.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com\u002Fa_screenshot_of_forms_app_67a6aa3e8b.png)\n\n\u003Ca href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fforms.app\u002F\">forms.app\u003C\u002Fa>, founded in 2018, is a really powerful form builder with a user-friendly design. It is easy to get started with forms.app, thanks to its AI features and 5000+ template library. It has a drag-and-drop builder for forms and, overall, a user-friendly design. It also offers all the features a business may need when creating a form, survey, or quiz. Its free plan is a good starting point for small businesses, and its higher-tier plans allow larger data collection for all businesses.\n\n**Pricing**: Free Plan provides up to 5 forms and 100 responses per month.\n\n### 6. Typeform:\n\n![Typeform landing page](https:\u002F\u002Fformester-strapi.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com\u002Fbest_online_form_builder_typeform_423594766b.png 'Typeform landing page')\n\nA conversational styled experience delivering tool, Typeform is a popular form builder and allows users to choose from various form design templates. Further, forms made using Typeform can have images, GIFs and videos too for enhanced engagement.\n\nTypeform users would agree that it’s a design-oriented tool with maximum emphasis on making a form look amazing. Conditional logic and numerous integrations add up to its functionality.\n\nThe most talked about aspect of Typeform - one question at a time, is a nice feature to have. However, it might not go well with all types of form applications. For example – collecting critical and complex information should not be done that way because it needs double check and verification by users. It might end up confusing them.\n\n**Pricing**: Starts at $29\u002Fmonth for single user\n\n### 7. Jotform:\n\n![Jotform landing page](https:\u002F\u002Fformester-strapi.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com\u002Fbest_online_form_builder_jotform_00adf10720.png 'Jotform landing page')\n\nOne of the early online form building tools, Jotform offers a huge number of form templates for users. It enables users to heavily customize their forms based on the requirements. Numerous widgets can be used to create online forms from scratch. For those who love using templates - Jotform has a mix of both free and paid ones.\n\nApart from conventional features like conditional logic and form database, Jotform allows building PDF forms too. It is arguably one of the best online form builder with database and comprehensive templates. It’s a good platform for small business to get started, but the lack of proper guidance on using the tool makes it difficult for users. The free plan consists of very limited features which aren’t usually enough.\n\n**Pricing**: The Bronze plan starts at $29\u002Fmonth\n\n### 8. Formsite:\n\n![Formsite landing page](https:\u002F\u002Fformester-strapi.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com\u002Fbest_online_form_builder_formsite_0fe435d349.png 'Formsite landing page')\n\nThe tool was launched in 1999, when people didn’t even know much about the existence of online forms. Formsite encrypts the data filled in online forms and that adds an extra layer of security. Specifically designed for critical information, users can also connect the forms to payment gateways like Stripe and Paypal. Some more useful features include linking multiple forms together and saving created blocks of form.\n\nFormsite is one ofthe best website form builder in the market but it is an expensive solution as it allows a very limited number of forms to be made in its paid plans. Another peculiar aspect is the low bound on the number of responses. Even if the complexity of building forms and design aspects are kept aside, this tool is way too overpriced for the number of offerings. \n\n**Pricing**: Starts at $24.95\u002Fmonth for 5 forms and 500 results per form.\n\n## Which Online Form Builder Should You Choose?\n\nThe answer to this question is subjective to your requirements. Analyze if you’re looking for a free or paid solution, and what are your form requirements. For a very basic form with no specific design needs – you can go with Google Forms. And if you want to deliver a prolific user experience through your online forms, [Formester](\u002F) can be your perfect destination. The plans at Formester start for free and it’s one of the most economical, yet comprehensive online form builders.\n","blog\u002Fblog\u002Fbest-online-form-builders.md",1200,631,{"text":161},{"title":236,"author":237,"authorImage":165,"authorProfile":238,"coverImg":239,"coverImgAlt":240,"createdAt":241,"description":242,"featured":14,"jsonld":243,"keywords":244,"metaDescription":245,"metaImage":246,"metaTitle":247,"publishedAt":248,"slug":249,"updatedAt":250,"__hash__":251,"body":252,"id":253,"coverImgWidth":182,"coverImgHeight":183,"readingStats":254},"How to get more survey responses with email authentication?","Harish Kumar","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.linkedin.com\u002Fin\u002Fharish-kumar2424\u002F","https:\u002F\u002Fformester-strapi.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com\u002Fa_blog_post_cover_about_how_to_improve_survey_responses_with_email_authentication_54be28fe53.png","a blog post cover about how to improve survey responses with email authentication","2025-08-12T07:52:27.008Z","Find he top 5 email authentication platforms to protect your survey campaigns and boost email deliverability with strong security.",[],"email authentication,\nemail authentication platform,\nsurvey campaigns,","Find the best email authentication tools to secure survey campaigns, prevent fraud, and ensure your emails reach the right audience.",[],"How to get more survey responses with email authentication","2025-08-12T16:32:23.256Z","how-to-get-more-survey-responses-with-email-authentication","2025-08-13T16:26:20.665Z","4YOyNifW7WrP6aDqI__djEJCsLHTLLnhvmur29xIOLA","![a blog post cover about how to improve survey responses with email authentication](https:\u002F\u002Fformester-strapi.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com\u002Fa_blog_post_cover_about_how_to_improve_survey_responses_with_email_authentication_54be28fe53.png)\n\nEmail is one of the best ways to invite people to take your survey. It’s quick, direct, and cost-effective. But there’s one big problem: many survey invitations never make it to the inbox. \n\nThey **end up in spam**, and your audience never even sees them.\n\nThe good news is that you can fix this. With proper email authentication and a professional survey builder like **[Formester](\u002F)**, you can reach more people, get more opens, and collect more responses.\n\n## Why Email Deliverability Matters for Surveys\nIf your survey emails are not delivered, you lose responses and waste time. Poor deliverability leads to fewer insights and weaker data.\n\nHigh deliverability means your emails consistently reach the inbox, giving you a better chance of getting clicks and completed surveys. That’s why improving it should be your top priority.\n\n### Common Reasons Survey Invitations Land in Spam\nHere’s why many survey invitations fail to reach the inbox:\n\n- Weak or poor sender reputation.\n\n- Missing SPF, DKIM, or DMARC records.\n\n- Spam-triggering subject lines.\n\n- Too many images or too little text.\n\n- Sending from a free domain instead of your own.\n\n- Using an outdated email list full of inactive addresses.\n\n### Understanding Email Authentication\nThink of email authentication like an ID check. It proves the email is really from you.\n\n**The three main protocols are:**\n\n- SPF (Sender Policy Framework): Tells mail servers which IP addresses can send emails for your domain.\n\n- DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail): Adds a secure digital signature to verify your emails.\n\n- DMARC (Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting, and Conformance): Decides what to do if your email fails SPF or DKIM checks.\n\nWhen all three are set up correctly, you greatly increase your chances of landing in the inbox.\n\n### Top 5 Email Authentication Platforms\n### PowerDMARC – Best for High-Volume Formester Survey Campaigns\n**\u003Ca href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fpowerdmarc.com\">PowerDMARC\u003C\u002Fa>** delivers complete email authentication with DMARC, SPF, DKIM, BIMI, and MTA-STS, backed by AI-driven threat detection. \n\nIt’s ideal for Formester customers running large-scale feedback collection because it combines automated DNS record generation with easy-to-read reports.\n\n\nTrusted by over 2,000 global organizations, PowerDMARC makes compliance simple and keeps phishing attempts away from your audience.

Its dynamic SPF management removes the 10-DNS lookup limit, keeping survey delivery smooth even for complex setups.\n\nWith machine learning-powered analysis and partnerships with Cisco and Microsoft, it’s a top choice for enterprise-level Formester campaigns that need maximum security.\n\n### DMARC Report – Enterprise-Scale Compliance\nIf you run surveys for multiple brands or clients in Formester, DMARC Report’s enterprise tools help you stay compliant across all domains.
