Why Australian teams choose Snapforms
Australian hosting, on every plan
Snapforms stores your form data in Australia on every plan. Australian residency is included rather than a data centre option that arrives with an enterprise agreement.
Your forms stay on in a busy month
Snapforms plans carry a monthly submission allowance of 1,000 to 30,000 depending on plan, and we contact you about moving to the right one rather than switching a live form off. An intake, incident or application form keeps accepting submissions through a spike.
Built for the work behind the form
Snapforms is built for the process behind a business form: approvals, payments, generated documents, integrations and audit trails. The submission is the point at which the work starts rather than the point at which it finishes.
Where your form data is stored
Snapforms stores your form data in Australia on every plan. Typeform is a Spanish company with default hosting in Virginia in the United States, and a data residency choice arrives only at Enterprise, where the options are the US and the EU. For an Australian organisation with an onshore requirement, there is no configuration that meets it.
Snapforms vs Typeform
Both products do the same core job: build a form, publish it, and collect and process the responses. These are the differences that matter for Australian teams.
Typeform is the most visually refined form builder on this list. The differences are about what happens to the data once it is collected.
| Feature | Snapforms | Typeform |
|---|---|---|
| Australian data residency Typeform hosts on AWS in Virginia by default and offers only US and EU data centres, with EU limited to new Enterprise accounts. | Every plan, by default | Not offered, United States default, Europe on Enterprise Source for Australian data residency |
| What happens at your response cap | 1,000 to 30,000 a month by plan, unlimited on Enterprise | 100 to 10,000, forms switch to Private mode at the cap Source for What happens at your response cap |
| Uploaded file privacy | Behind your account access controls | Exports and integrations create publicly accessible file links Source for Uploaded file privacy |
| Approval workflows | Built in | Not offered Source for Approval workflows |
| Generated PDF of each submission | Included | Browser print, or signed PDFs on Growth Flow and above Source for Generated PDF of each submission |
| E-signatures | Included on every plan | Growth Flow and above, and unavailable via the API Source for E-signatures |
| SMS notifications to Australian numbers | Built in | United States and Canada only Source for SMS notifications to Australian numbers |
| Australian address autocomplete | Built in | Plain text fields, not validated Source for Australian address autocomplete |
| Billing currency | Australian dollars, GST invoice | US dollars outside the USA, EU and UK Source for Billing currency |
| Long or complex forms The conversational format is a strength for short forms and works against you on a 60-field application. | Multi-page forms with sections and progress saving | One question per screen by default Source for Long or complex forms |
| Conditional logic and calculations | Included | Included on paid plans |
| Form design and respondent experience If the appearance of the form is your primary concern, Typeform is excellent at it. | Clean, brandable, conventional layouts | Best-in-class conversational design |
| Free tier | 30-day trial, no free tier | Free plan, 10 responses a month |

Bringing your forms across
Rebuilding the form is quick. The bigger job is usually folding the process that grew up around it, such as the spreadsheet, the email chain and the manual approval, into the form itself. That is the part we assist with.
- Send us your Typeform links or a copy of the questions.
- We rebuild them, and add the approvals, notifications and outputs currently handled manually.
- Export your existing responses from Typeform as CSV for your records.
Not using Typeform yet? There is nothing to move. Start from a ready-made template and we will help you build your first form during the trial.
Snapforms and Typeform: common questions
No. Typeform's default hosting is in the United States, and the ability to choose between a US and EU data centre is listed as an Enterprise-only feature. There is no Australian data centre option on any Typeform plan.
Snapforms forms are fully brandable with your colours, logo and fonts, and can be embedded so they look like part of your website. Typeform's one-question-at-a-time format is distinctive, and Snapforms does not replicate it. For most business forms, showing people a whole section at once is faster to complete.
We contact you about moving to a plan that fits, and your forms continue accepting submissions. We do not switch off a live intake or incident form because of a busy month.
Snapforms starts at $89 per month in Australian dollars, with Australian hosting included on every plan. Typeform publishes USD pricing, meters responses account-wide, and reserves data centre choice for Enterprise.
