The best Stripe payment form builders of 2026
Jotform is the safest pick for most people: it takes one-time payments, subscriptions and donations through Stripe and adds no fee of its own. Fillout has the best free plan, with 1,000 responses a month and payments included. Tally suits simple one-off payments, WordPress sites should look at WPForms or Gravity Forms, and a Stripe Payment Link is enough if you only need a checkout page.

Jotform: best for most Stripe payment forms
Jotform covers the payment jobs most small businesses bring to a form builder. Its Stripe integration takes one-time sales, subscriptions and donations, and buyers can pay with Apple Pay or Google Pay as well as a card. Jotform states that it won't charge any additional transaction fees, so you pay Stripe's rate and nothing on top.
The limit to watch is payment submissions, which Jotform counts separately from ordinary submissions. The free Starter plan gives you 5 forms, 100 submissions a month and 10 payment submissions a month. That is enough to build and test a form, but a shop taking a dozen orders a week will outgrow it in the first month.
Bronze costs $39 a month, or $34 a month billed yearly, and raises the payment cap to 100 a month across 25 forms. Silver ($49 monthly, $39 billed yearly) allows 250 payments, and Gold ($129 monthly, $99 billed yearly) allows 1,000. Eligible nonprofits and schools get 50% off Bronze, Silver and Gold.
Pick Jotform when you want one tool for order forms, registrations and donations, and you expect your payment volume to stay in the hundreds per month.
- No Jotform transaction fee on Stripe payments
- Handles one-time payments, subscriptions and donations
- Apple Pay and Google Pay through Stripe
- 50% off Bronze to Gold for eligible nonprofits and schools
- Free plan caps you at 10 payment submissions a month
- Even Bronze stops at 100 payments a month
- Free forms carry Jotform branding
Free Starter plan (10 payment submissions a month). Bronze $39 a month or $34 a month billed yearly; Silver $49 or $39; Gold $129 or $99. Checked November 4, 2026.
Fillout: best free plan for taking payments
Fillout has the most generous free plan in this guide for anyone taking money through a form. You get unlimited forms, unlimited seats and 1,000 responses a month, and collecting payments is part of the free tier. Fillout calls itself an official Stripe partner with 0% added fees.
Payments go beyond a single card field. Fillout accepts cards, ACH bank payments, Affirm and Stripe Link, and it can sell subscriptions and memberships that stay synced with Stripe. You can also add discount codes or free trials, which matters if you run courses, clubs or paid communities.
Paid plans are priced per account, so adding teammates costs nothing. Starter is $15 a month billed annually ($180 a year) and raises the limit to 2,000 responses with login forms and redirects after submission. Pro ($40 a month billed annually) allows 5,000 responses and removes Fillout branding. Business ($75 a month billed annually) removes the response cap and adds partial submissions and a custom domain.
Fillout works only with Stripe for payments, so it is a poor fit if your customers expect a PayPal button.
- 1,000 free responses a month with payments included
- 0% added fees on Stripe payments
- Subscriptions, discount codes and free trials
- Unlimited seats on every plan
- Stripe is the only payment processor it lists
- Fillout branding stays on forms until the Pro plan
- Monthly-billed prices were not shown on its pricing page
Free plan with 1,000 responses a month. Starter $15, Pro $40 and Business $75 a month, each billed annually. Checked November 4, 2026.
Tally: best for simple one-time payments
Tally is the quickest way to put a price on a form you already like. You add a payment block, connect a free Stripe account, pick the currency, and the form takes card payments. Tally says it does not add any extra fees on top of Stripe's pricing, and the payment block works on the free plan as well as on Pro.
That makes it a good fit for workshop sign-ups, event tickets, deposits and small one-off sales, where the form asks a few questions and then charges a fixed amount. You don't need a paid Tally plan to start charging, so a small seller can run on the free tier.
The hard limit is recurring billing. Tally's help center says plainly that it doesn't support collecting recurring payments, so memberships, retainers and subscription boxes need a different tool from this list, such as Fillout or Jotform.
Paid plans are Pro and Business, and Business adds data retention controls, email verification and 90-day version history. Tally's help center lists Pro at $29 a month and Business at $89 a month (checked November 4, 2026).
- Payments work on the free plan
- No Tally fee on top of Stripe's
- Currency set per payment block
- No recurring payments or subscriptions
- Stripe only
- Pro at $29 a month is needed to remove Tally branding
Free plan includes payments. Pro $29 a month and Business $89 a month. Checked November 4, 2026.
Paperform: best for selling products and subscriptions from one form
Paperform is built for forms that work like a small storefront. You can list products, sell subscriptions, offer coupon codes and run calculations that change the total as the buyer fills in the form. It connects to Stripe, PayPal Business, Square and Braintree, so you can give buyers more than one way to pay, and Google Pay is available on every plan.
Paperform states that it charges no transaction fees and takes no cut of what you sell. Stripe supports 135+ currencies through Paperform, which helps if you sell to buyers abroad.
The free plan is narrow for payments. It allows 30 submissions a month, and products, subscriptions, calculations and coupons are paid-only. A form that uses a paid-only field will not publish until you upgrade. In practice, anyone selling through Paperform needs Pro.
Pro costs $59 a month, or $49 a month billed annually ($588 a year), with unlimited submissions under a fair use policy. Business is $149 a month or $124 billed annually. Every paid plan has a 7-day free trial with no card required, and new accounts start on a Pro trial.
- Stripe, PayPal, Square and Braintree on every plan
- Products, subscriptions, coupons and calculations on Pro
- No Paperform transaction fees
- 7-day trial with no card
- Free plan stops at 30 submissions a month
- Selling features need Pro at $49 a month or more
- More set-up than a plain one-price form
Free plan with 30 submissions a month. Pro $59 a month or $49 billed annually; Business $149 or $124. 7-day free trial. Checked November 4, 2026.
Cognito Forms: best for low-cost order forms with a choice of processor
Cognito Forms puts payments on every plan, including the free Individual plan, and lets you connect Stripe, PayPal or Square. US customers can also use Cognito Pay, a payment option inside Cognito Forms that runs on Stripe and lists a standard rate of 2.9% + $0.30. Cognito notes that additional service fees may apply depending on your plan, so check the fee on your plan before you rely on the free tier for real sales.
The free plan gives one user unlimited forms and 100 entries a month, with Cognito branding. Pro costs $24 a month, or $19 a month billed annually, and adds 2,000 entries a month, two users, electronic signatures, save and resume, and removes the branding. Team is $49 a month or $39 billed annually, with 10,000 entries and five users.
Subscriptions are the weak spot. Cognito's own FAQ says it does not support recurring billing, though you can save a card on file and set the subscription up in Stripe or Square. Its recurring payments option works through Cognito Pay and Square.
Choose Cognito when you take one-off orders, bookings or registrations and want a cheap paid tier with room to grow.
- Payments on every plan, including free
- Stripe, PayPal, Square or Cognito Pay
- Pro from $19 a month billed annually
- No built-in recurring billing through a plain Stripe connection
- Service fees on Cognito Pay vary by plan and are not listed
- Free plan carries Cognito branding
Free Individual plan with 100 entries a month. Pro $24 a month or $19 billed annually; Team $49 or $39. Checked November 4, 2026.
WPForms: best for WordPress sites that want a free start
WPForms is a WordPress plugin, so your forms and entries live on your own site. The free version, WPForms Lite, can take Stripe payments, but WPForms adds a 3% platform fee to every transaction on the free version or on an inactive license. That fee sits on top of Stripe's own.
The pricing page also says extra processing fees apply to Stripe on the Basic and Plus plans. To take Stripe payments without a WPForms fee, you need Pro, which also adds Square and PayPal, recurring payments and coupons. Pro covers five sites and costs $199.50 for the first year, then $399 a year at renewal. Elite ($299.50 for the first year, then $599) covers unlimited sites and adds Authorize.Net.
The Stripe add-on supports recurring subscriptions, and Apple Pay and Google Pay appear when you use Stripe's Payment Element mode.
WPForms makes sense if your site already runs on WordPress and you want to start free and upgrade later. Budget for the renewal price, because the first-year discount does not carry over.
- Free version can take Stripe payments
- Pro adds Square, PayPal, recurring payments and coupons
- Entries stay on your own WordPress site
- 3% platform fee on the free version
- Fee-free Stripe needs Pro at $199.50 for the first year
- Renewals cost twice the first-year price
Free version with a 3% fee on payments. Pro $199.50 for the first year ($399 at renewal); Elite $299.50 ($599 at renewal). Checked November 4, 2026.
Gravity Forms: best for WordPress sites that need subscriptions on one license
Gravity Forms is the other big WordPress form plugin, and it prices payments differently from WPForms. There is no free version and no trial. You buy a yearly license, and the Stripe add-on comes with the Pro, Elite or Nonprofit license.
The Stripe add-on captures payment the moment a form is submitted and sets up recurring payments with custom schedules and intervals. Buyers can pay by credit or debit card, Apple Pay or Google Pay. Gravity Forms does not mention a fee of its own on Stripe payments.
Basic costs $59 a year for one site but does not include Stripe. Pro costs $159 a year for three sites and includes the Stripe, PayPal Checkout and Square add-ons. Elite costs $259 a year for unlimited sites, includes every add-on and comes with priority support.
Gravity Forms suits a site owner or agency that already pays for WordPress plugins yearly and wants subscriptions and one-time payments without a monthly SaaS bill. You can't try it for free first, so read its documentation before you buy.
- Stripe one-time and recurring payments on Pro
- Pro includes Stripe, PayPal Checkout and Square
- Elite covers unlimited sites
- No free version or trial
- Basic license has no Stripe add-on
- WordPress only
Basic $59 a year (no Stripe), Pro $159 a year for three sites, Elite $259 a year for unlimited sites. Checked November 4, 2026.
Stripe Payment Links: best if you only need a checkout link
Sometimes you don't need a form builder at all. Stripe lets you create a Payment Link from the Stripe dashboard without writing code, then share it by email, on social media or behind a button on your site.
A Payment Link can charge a one-time price, a recurring subscription or an amount the customer chooses. You can let buyers change the quantity, accept promo codes and ask for a phone number. Payment Links come with Stripe's standard processing pricing and no extra charge for the link itself; a custom domain for your links costs $10 a month.
The limit is the form itself. A Payment Link is a checkout page, so it can't ask several questions, branch on answers or send entries to a spreadsheet the way a form builder can. If you need to know a T-shirt size, a dietary need and a start date before you charge someone, use one of the form builders above.
For a single product, a deposit or a donation button, a Payment Link is the cheapest option here because nothing sits between you and Stripe.
- No platform fee beyond Stripe's processing pricing
- One-time, recurring or customer-chosen amounts
- Nothing to install or maintain
- Few extra questions compared with a form builder
- No conditional logic or entry management
- Custom link domain costs $10 a month
No charge to create links; Stripe's standard processing fees apply. Custom domain $10 a month. Checked November 4, 2026.
What to look for
Check who adds a fee on top of Stripe
Stripe charges its own processing fee on every payment, whichever tool you use, and some form builders add a second fee. Jotform, Fillout, Tally and Paperform all state that they add nothing. WPForms adds 3% on its free version, and Cognito Pay can carry plan-based service fees. On $5,000 a month in sales, a 3% fee is $150 a month, which is more than most paid form plans cost.
Check the payment limit as well as submissions
Some plans limit paid entries separately. Jotform's free plan allows 100 submissions a month but only 10 of them can be payments. Read the payment limit before you compare headline prices.
Decide whether you need recurring billing
Memberships, retainers and subscription boxes need a tool that creates Stripe subscriptions. Jotform, Fillout, Paperform, WPForms Pro, Gravity Forms Pro and Stripe Payment Links can all do it. Tally can't, and Cognito Forms sends you to Stripe or Square to set the subscription up yourself.
Think about how buyers want to pay
If your customers expect PayPal, pick a tool that supports it next to Stripe: Paperform, Cognito Forms, WPForms Pro or Gravity Forms Pro. Apple Pay and Google Pay are available through Jotform, WPForms and Gravity Forms, Paperform supports Google Pay, and Fillout adds ACH bank payments and Affirm for larger purchases.
Hosted or on your WordPress site
Hosted builders like Jotform, Fillout and Tally keep entries on their servers and need no maintenance. WordPress plugins keep entries in your own database, but you handle updates and pay a yearly license. Plugin pricing also tends to jump at renewal: WPForms Pro costs $199.50 in the first year and $399 after.
Match the free plan to your volume
A free plan is fine for a handful of orders. Once you take payments every day, the paid plan's limits matter more than its price. Estimate your monthly orders and pick the plan whose cap sits comfortably above that number.
How we chose
We picked tools that connect to Stripe directly and checked each one's pricing and payment pages on November 4, 2026. We compared the fee each tool adds on top of Stripe, payment limits on the free plan, recurring billing, other processors and wallets, and the price of the first plan that removes fees. We left out four tools from the old version of this guide. Wufoo only takes payments from its Professional plan ($33.25 a month), and Formstack Forms starts at $83 a month paid annually, both well above the picks here for a small seller. FormGet's homepage no longer shows form builder pricing, and Pabbly Form Builder's pricing page lists prices that contradict each other, so we couldn't recommend a plan with confidence.
Questions people ask
Can I make a Stripe payment form for free?
Yes. Fillout, Tally, Jotform, Cognito Forms and WPForms Lite all take Stripe payments on a free plan. Fillout gives the most room with 1,000 responses a month, Jotform's free plan stops at 10 payment submissions a month, and WPForms adds a 3% fee to each payment on its free version.
Do form builders charge fees on top of Stripe?
Some do. Jotform, Fillout, Tally and Paperform state that they add no transaction fee, so you pay only Stripe's processing fee. WPForms charges 3% on its free version, and Cognito Forms says plan-based service fees may apply to Cognito Pay.
Which form builder can take recurring Stripe payments?
Jotform, Fillout, Paperform (Pro and up), WPForms Pro and Gravity Forms Pro can all create subscriptions. Tally does not support recurring payments. Stripe Payment Links can also charge a recurring price without any form builder.
Can one form accept both Stripe and PayPal?
Paperform, Cognito Forms, WPForms Pro and Gravity Forms Pro all connect to PayPal as well as Stripe, and Paperform and Cognito Forms add Square. Fillout and Tally list Stripe as their only processor.
Do I need a form builder, or is a Stripe Payment Link enough?
A Payment Link is enough when you sell one thing at a set price, take deposits or accept donations. Use a form builder when you need answers before you charge, such as sizes, dates or attendee names, or when the price depends on the buyer's choices.
What's the best Stripe payment form plugin for WordPress?
WPForms is the easier start because it has a free version, but fee-free Stripe payments need Pro at $199.50 for the first year. Gravity Forms has no free version, and its Pro license at $159 a year includes Stripe, PayPal Checkout and Square with recurring payments.
