| Description | Cognito Forms is an online form builder that lets you create anything from simple contact forms to complex multi-page workflows with conditional logic, calculations, and payment collection — all without writing code. You drag and drop fields, set up rules for which sections appear based on answers, and embed the form on your website. The platform handles payment processing through Stripe, Square, or PayPal right inside your forms. Repeating sections let respondents add multiple items dynamically. Free tier includes unlimited forms with 500 entries/month. Paid plans start at $15/month. |

| STOA's Verdict | Cognito Forms punches above its weight. The calculation fields and conditional logic rival tools costing 3-4x more, and the free tier is genuinely usable. If you need payment collection inside forms without a full e-commerce platform, this is a smart pick. |
