TL;DR
- Best for enterprise Salesforce forms with compliance: FormAssembly (GetApp 4.5/5 from 97 reviews, deep Salesforce integration, HIPAA with BAA, FedRAMP High-Impact authorized, e-signatures, document generation)
- Best for smart forms with AI, payments, and all-in-one automation: TinyForms (40+ question types, conditional logic, Stripe/Razorpay payments, 3 display modes, natively connected to TinyTables, TinyWorkflows, TinyEmails, TinyAgents)
- Pricing: FormAssembly requires contacting sales (no public pricing, enterprise tier). TinyCommand starts free with all 5 products from $19/mo.
- The core difference: FormAssembly is a form builder designed for Salesforce-centric organizations in regulated industries (healthcare, government, finance). Every form maps data directly into Salesforce objects. TinyForms is a form builder designed for general business automation — every submission flows into a database, triggers a workflow, sends an email, and routes to an AI agent. Salesforce-specific vs business-wide.
| Feature | TinyForms | FormAssembly |
|---|---|---|
| Free plan | Unlimited | ✗ ($59/mo minimum) |
| Salesforce integration | Via API | ✓ (deepest: prefill, dynamic picklists, multi-object) |
| HIPAA/FedRAMP | ✗ | ✓ |
| E-signatures | ✗ | ✓ |
| AI form builder | ✓ | ✗ |
| Native workflows | ✓ | ✗ |
| Data enrichment | ✓ | ✗ |
We used to run our lead enrichment through five different tools. With TinyCommand, it is just one flow.

FormAssembly has built its reputation in the Salesforce ecosystem. It is the go-to form builder for organizations that need complex data collection flowing directly into Salesforce CRM — hospitals collecting patient intake forms (HIPAA compliant with BAA), government agencies processing applications (FedRAMP High-Impact authorized), and enterprise sales teams capturing leads with automatic Salesforce record creation.
TinyForms serves a broader market with a different approach. Instead of centering on one CRM, it centers on an entire business platform. Form submissions flow into TinyTables (a flexible database with 7 views and AI columns), trigger automations in TinyWorkflows (100+ app integrations), generate emails through TinyEmails, and route to AI agents in TinyAgents. No Salesforce dependency. No enterprise compliance tier. Just forms connected to everything.
If your organization runs on Salesforce and requires HIPAA or FedRAMP compliance, FormAssembly was purpose-built for you. If you need forms as part of broader business automation without a Salesforce requirement, TinyForms does more for less.
Where Each Tool Wins
Where FormAssembly wins
Salesforce integration. Direct data mapping into Salesforce objects — contacts, leads, opportunities, custom objects. Prefilling, update-or-create logic, complex relationships. The deepest Salesforce form integration available.
Enterprise compliance. HIPAA with BAA. FedRAMP High-Impact. SOC 2 Type II. These certifications take years to achieve and are non-negotiable for healthcare, government, and regulated enterprise.
Document generation + e-signatures. Generate documents from form data, collect electronic signatures, push to Salesforce — all in one flow. Proposals, contracts, consent forms.
Government cloud. Dedicated FedRAMP-authorized environment for federal, state, and local government agencies. Purpose-built for public sector.
Where TinyForms wins
All-in-one platform. Forms + database + workflows + email + AI agents. FormAssembly is forms + Salesforce connector. Everything else needs separate tools.
40+ question types. Richer form building with conditional logic, payment collection, real-time verification, and three display modes (Classic, Card, Chat). FormAssembly has capable forms but fewer interactive options.
Free and transparent pricing. Unlimited forms and responses on the free tier. $19/month for the full platform. FormAssembly requires contacting sales — no public pricing.
AI agents. TinyAgents processes form submissions with 7 LLM providers — classify, score, respond, route. FormAssembly has an AI assistant for form building, not submission processing.
Payment collection. Native Stripe and Razorpay integration in forms. Collect payments as part of the submission flow.
Salesforce form builder vs all-in-one form platform
FormAssembly's Salesforce connector is its defining feature. When someone submits a FormAssembly form, the data writes directly into Salesforce objects — contacts, leads, opportunities, custom objects. Field mapping handles complex relationships, prefilling, and update-or-create logic. For Salesforce-dependent organizations, this eliminates the middleware (Zapier, manual imports) that other form builders require to get data into the CRM.
The compliance capabilities are enterprise-grade. HIPAA compliance with a signed Business Associate Agreement (BAA) for healthcare organizations collecting protected health information. FedRAMP authorization at the High-Impact level for federal agencies. SOC 2 Type II certification. These are not checkboxes — they represent years of audit work that most form builders never undertake.
Document generation and e-signatures add another layer. FormAssembly can generate documents from form data and collect electronic signatures within the same flow — proposals, contracts, consent forms, applications. The Atlas Team plan adds multi-signer e-signatures. This workflow (form fill, document generate, sign, push to Salesforce) is what makes FormAssembly indispensable for enterprise processes.
But FormAssembly requires contacting sales for pricing. There are no public prices. The enterprise positioning, compliance certifications, and Salesforce integration suggest pricing well above consumer-grade form builders. GetApp reviewers note a steep learning curve, limited customization without HTML/CSS knowledge, and slow support response times.
TinyForms takes a different approach entirely. 40+ question types with conditional logic, payment collection via Stripe and Razorpay, real-time email verification, and three display modes (Classic, Card, Chat). Forms are free and unlimited on the free tier. Submissions write directly into TinyTables — no Salesforce required, no middleware, no mapping configuration.
From TinyTables, the data flows naturally into TinyWorkflows (automate across 100+ apps including Salesforce via API), TinyEmails (send personalized responses), and TinyAgents (AI classifies, scores, and responds). The entire journey — capture, store, automate, communicate, analyze — happens in one platform for $19/month.
FormAssembly has an Agentic AI Assistant on the Explorer plan, but its AI capabilities focus on form building assistance, not autonomous business operations. TinyAgents provides AI agents across 7 LLM providers that score leads, draft content, classify data, and take actions — a fundamentally different level of AI integration.

Frequently Asked Questions
Not natively like FormAssembly does. TinyForms can send data to Salesforce through TinyWorkflows via the Salesforce API, but it does not have direct object mapping, prefilling, or update-or-create logic that FormAssembly provides. If Salesforce is your central system, FormAssembly is the better choice for forms.
TinyForms does not currently offer HIPAA compliance with a BAA. If you collect protected health information (PHI) and need a signed Business Associate Agreement, FormAssembly or similar HIPAA-certified platforms are required.
FormAssembly does not publish pricing. All plans require contacting sales. The enterprise positioning, compliance certifications, and Salesforce integration suggest annual contracts well above consumer form builders. TinyCommand is transparent: free tier, $19/mo Basic, $49/mo Pro, $149/mo Agency.
Not natively. FormAssembly can generate documents from form data and collect e-signatures in the same flow. TinyForms collects data and routes it to workflows, databases, and email — document generation would require an integration with a third-party tool through TinyWorkflows.
TinyCommand. Small businesses rarely need HIPAA, FedRAMP, or deep Salesforce integration. TinyForms gives you unlimited forms with payments, conditional logic, and AI processing for free. FormAssembly is designed for enterprise procurement processes, not small business agility.
