The AI-powered Jotform alternative
Jotform is an online form builder: you design a form, publish it, and collect responses from other people, with PDF export, templates and AI agents layered on top.
Quick answer
Jotform and Filly AI solve opposite halves of the paperwork problem. Jotform is for forms you create and send out for other people to complete. Filly is for forms someone else created — a government PDF, a client's contract — that you must complete, filled from details you already hold.
Where Jotform is strong
For forms you design yourself — intake questionnaires, surveys, registrations, order forms, anything where other people supply the answers — Jotform is excellent, with an enormous template library and deep integrations.

Why teams switch to Filly
The form isn't yours to redesign
A USCIS, IRS or SSA form has to be submitted on the agency's own PDF. Filly fills the official document and preserves its exact layout; rebuilding it as a web form is not something the agency accepts.
The data is already yours
Jotform's job is collecting information you don't have yet. Filly's job starts once you have it — save a client once and every form fills from that profile, with nobody to chase for a response.
Official forms built in
18 real government forms from the IRS, USCIS and SSA are included as the agencies' own blank PDFs, ready to fill from a saved profile.
Batch across clients
Generate the same completed document for many people at once — up to 5 clients per run on Solo and 20 on Pro.

Fill your first forms today. 10 forms, 5 clients, 10 fills a month on the free plan.
Get startedFrequently asked questions
- Is Filly AI an alternative to Jotform?
- Only for the opposite job. Jotform is for building forms and collecting answers from other people. Filly is for completing a form that already exists — a government PDF or a client's contract — using details you already hold. Plenty of people legitimately need both.
- Can Jotform fill out an existing government PDF?
- Jotform is built around forms you create and publish, so the usual path is rebuilding the form rather than completing the agency's own file. Filly works directly on the official PDF, overlaying values while preserving the original layout, which is what agencies require you to submit.
- Which should I use for client intake?
- Both, in sequence. Collect the client's information however you like — Jotform is a fine way to do it — then save it as a Filly client profile so every form you file for that person afterwards fills from it automatically instead of being retyped.
- Does Filly AI have templates like Jotform?
- Filly includes 25 ready-to-fill contract and business templates plus 18 official government forms, but they are documents to complete rather than forms to publish. It is a far smaller library than Jotform's, aimed at filling rather than collecting.
