TapVoter vs JotForm

JotForm is a general form builder with 10,000+ templates — powerful for generic forms but expensive past the free tier's 100 submissions/month cap ($39–$129/mo). TapVoter Surveys covers the same feedback-form use cases with 13 question types, multi-section branching, NPS, and bot protection. Plus you get free auto-scored quizzes and voter-verified elections in the same platform — something a form builder simply can't deliver.

Why Organizations Choose TapVoter

Purpose-Built for Voting

Unlike JotForm's generic form builder, TapVoter is specifically designed for elections. Features like ranked-choice voting, voter eligibility management, and secure access codes ensure professional, trustworthy elections.

No Hidden Costs

JotForm's free plan limits you to 100 submissions per month across all 5 forms - barely enough for one election. Their paid plans start at $39/month (or $408/year) for 1,000 submissions. TapVoter is completely free with no limits.

Election Security

TapVoter ensures election integrity with features JotForm lacks: elections can't be modified once voting starts, votes can't be changed after submission, and a public log gives every ballot its own receipt code.

Global Accessibility

With 30 languages and complete customization options, TapVoter serves organizations worldwide. Our anonymous voting options and no-email-required approach ensures everyone can participate.

Common questions

How much does TapVoter cost compared to JotForm?

TapVoter is free for elections: no per-voter charge, no per-election fee and no credit card. One election can have up to 10,000 voters, and there is no cap on how many elections you run. Optional Pro features for polls, quizzes and surveys are $4.99 a month or $49 a year.

Which voting methods does TapVoter support?

TapVoter supports five methods, all free: Single Choice, Ranked Choice (instant runoff), STAR, Approval and Multi-Winner. Results are tabulated automatically and can be exported to CSV.

Can voters cast anonymous ballots on TapVoter?

Yes. TapVoter issues each voter a unique 9-character key, so duplicate voting is prevented while an anonymous ballot mode keeps the vote itself unlinked to the voter. Every election also produces a public transparency log listing each ballot by receipt code, so a voter can confirm their own ballot was recorded and not voided.
