The Typeform alternative built for lead generation, not surveys.
Typeform is an excellent survey tool. It was never built to verify a phone number, certify TCPA consent, or absorb paid-traffic volume without metering you by the response. MakeForms was.
What breaks when a survey tool runs your lead generation.
Typeform collects phone numbers. It does not verify them.
A number typed into a Typeform reaches your CRM exactly as typed. Typeform ships no phone or SMS verification on any tier, so the check happens after the lead is already in your pipeline — usually by a person on a dial, paid by the hour. MakeForms moves that check to before submit.
One toggle, no code
OTP turns on in the editor. No script to embed, no API key, no separate verification vendor to contract with.
Sub-4-second SMS delivery
Direct carrier routing keeps the prospect on the screen instead of abandoning while a code crawls through an aggregator.
Included in the plan price
Verification is not a metered add-on billed per check. It is part of Launch and Scale.
A TCPA certificate that misses half the form is not much of a defence.
To run TrustedForm on Typeform you paste ActiveProspect script into the page yourself. On a single-screen form that mostly works. On the multi-step format that actually converts, the script fires on the first screen and misses the ones after it — including the screen where your consent language is shown. MakeForms generates one complete certificate covering every step.
Every screen captured
One complete certificate at submission, including the step where TCPA consent was displayed and accepted.
Cert ID travels with the lead
It lands in the CRM payload automatically. Nobody copies certificate URLs by hand.
Nothing to maintain
One toggle. The ActiveProspect integration runs server-side, so redesigning the form cannot break it.

"MakeForms has the Canadian data storage and the PIPEDA compliance that really sold us on the switch."
Great Value, High Submissions, Quick Load Times
First, the value is excellent. With 5,000 submissions for just $29 a month, it's affordable for handling high volumes without breaking the bank. I also noticed it loads quickly when embedded on my site, which keeps things running smoothly for visitors – a big plus for user experience.
A Great Typeform alternative!
The tool focus on data security and is 100% GDPR compiant and for those like us who work with sensitive data this is a must! In addition to this, the tool is truly complete, we have tried several competitors but of all, this is the best.
Build a form and validate user in no time
MakeForms has solved the problem of user verification. We use online forms for user registration for our events which have limited capacity. Having fake registrations is an issue, but MakeForms resolves this problem through SMS verification.
Efficient and Professional Form Building, as well as Support
Custom domain setup was a breeze, and the flexibility to toggle between different form styles is a thoughtful touch. MakeForms offers a range of form styles, including a handy one-step form feature, which looks great.

I recently got a demo and my mind was blown. It's a "Mercedes" of forms. Got all the bells and whistles.
Excellent support, and development
I needed a PIPEDA complaint form maker that could handle single forms for multiple clinic locations. I had a couple of development requests in order for it to meet our needs. The development was quick, and exactly what we asked for.
Amazing Form Creator!
It is a very comprehensive software where every little detail have been carefully considered and their team behind is EXTREMELLY responsive. We provided them some suggestion, they approved it, and just 2 days later they added the requested feature.
It is not just a form generator, robust and functional and GDPR compliant
I must say that it is not just another alternative to existing form generators: it is the specific solution for every need and stands out from all the others for its design and functionality.
Great Form Building Tool
MakeForms has been instrumental in building out forms to utilize within my business to collect feedback, screen leads, and more. I love that the forms can be built with logic, can be branded, and built with workflow automations.
