# Sunbeam vs Typeform

Canonical URL: https://sunbeam.cx/compare/typeform

Sunbeam is free to collect ongoing feedback, with conversational follow-up and built-in analysis - so cost does not climb with your response volume.

## The short version

Typeform is the best-known form builder, valued for the look-and-feel of its forms and the polish of the response experience. Recent additions like Formless, the AI form builder, generate form fields from a prompt. The product collects responses, exports them, and offers basic dashboards. Analysis beyond charts and CSVs is not its job.

Sunbeam is a different shape of product entirely. Asklet is not an AI form builder, it is a live conversation: voice input is supported, follow-up questions are generated dynamically based on what the respondent just said, and every conversation feeds directly into thematic analysis, an auto-discovered system model, and impact scoring. The two products overlap on the surface (both let you collect responses) and diverge on what happens before, during, and after the response.

| Thematic analysis built in | Yes | No |
| Auto-discovered system model | Yes | No |
| Impact scoring | Yes | No |
| Cost to collect ongoing feedback | Free, no caps or per-response pricing | Free tier capped at 10 responses per form; paid plans scale with volume |

| What happens to responses | Themes, system model, impact scoring | Dashboard charts, CSV export |

## Verdict

### Choose Sunbeam if

- You want feedback collection to stay free as your volume grows, not move to a paid tier with per-response pricing.
- You want a conversation, not a form, with voice input and dynamic follow-up.
- You want thematic analysis, system modelling, and impact scoring built into the same product as collection.

### Choose Typeform if

- You need the polished, design-led form experience Typeform is famous for.
- Your use case is one-off forms (event sign-ups, lead capture, simple feedback) more than ongoing customer feedback.
- You are already in the Typeform ecosystem and just need a form, not a feedback platform.
