The best alternative to Formstack
The same form and submission limits, for almost a third of the price.
Why switch
Nearly the same limits, a third of the cost
Formstack Forms and anota Bronze are built for the same size of team. The difference shows up on the invoice.
- $24 vs. $83 a month for essentially the same plan — 25 forms and around 1,000 submissions either way.
- No hidden add-on fees on what anota does include — products and signatures ship in the base price of any paid plan, with no upsell tier to unlock them.
- Priced for one team's forms, not a department — you don't need to jump to a plan costing hundreds of dollars just to get reasonable capacity.
- Straightforward setup: create your account and publish your first form in minutes, no sales call required.
- One plan to understand: no separate add-on tiers for products or signatures that you have to keep stacking on top.
Formstack Forms $83
anota Bronze $24

Formstack Suite Document generation + e-signature ($250–299/mo)
Formstack HIPAA as a paid add-on
Formstack Over a decade in the market
What Formstack still does better
- Document generation and approval workflows — the Formstack Suite plan ($250–299/mo) bundles forms with document generation and e-signature, closer to a lightweight DocuSign or PandaDoc. anota doesn't offer this.
- HIPAA compliance available as an add-on — Formstack offers it as a paid option on top of its plans; anota doesn't offer HIPAA compliance on any plan today.
- Over a decade of track record in the enterprise market — Formstack is an established tool that many IT departments already know and trust.
