Where Typeform's free plan stops at ten responses per month across all forms combined and only unlocks file uploads from €35 per month, empirio.ai gives you all 35+ question types, file uploads, and the AI survey editor for free. You describe in one sentence what you want to know, and the AI creates your first questionnaire.
With empirio.ai you spread your questions across one or more pages, share the survey by link, QR code, or directly on your website, and connect it to your other tools through Zapier, Make, the verified n8n connector, the REST API, or webhooks. That costs nothing either.
Survey data and AI processing run 100 percent in the EU, and the data processing agreement (DPA) is included even on the free plan. Typeform stores data in the US, and a data center in the EU is available there only on the Enterprise plan.

Typeform or empirio.ai: which is right for you?
Typeform is a modern provider from Spain and is geared mainly toward inquiries, meaning contact forms, lead funnels, job applications, or appointment bookings. For that it is a strong choice: one question appears after another, and the answers land directly in tools like Google Sheets or Slack.
Typeform is less tailored to surveys and their analysis. In the tool you see individual responses and simple charts, and for anything beyond that you download the data as Excel or CSV and analyze it elsewhere. If you want to dig deeper into your results, with cross-tabulations, AI analysis of free-text answers, or SPSS export, empirio.ai is the right fit and costs you less.
Our free plan includes unlimited surveys and questions, plus features that cost extra at Typeform or are missing there, such as file uploads or exporting the questionnaire as Word and PDF. As with Typeform, you can put each question on its own page or group several questions on one page. For how empirio.ai stacks up against the other major providers, see our overview of survey tools compared.

As of November 2026. We checked Typeform's euro amounts inside the product because Typeform lists dollars on its own pricing page. Typeform says it tests prices, so your account may see different amounts. For Business and the plans above it we do not state a euro amount because we have no verified one.
Why empirio.ai instead of Typeform?
With empirio.ai you create surveys with no question limit, analyze them right in the tool, and always know where your data lives. The free plan is enough for real first surveys, and the paid plans start cheaper than at Typeform. That holds for a customer survey just as much as for an employee survey or the survey for your thesis.
Pricing
empirio.ai
At empirio.ai, unlimited surveys and questions are free. On top of that come all 35+ question types, all 90+ templates, the AI survey editor, EU hosting, and the data processing agreement (DPA). The only limit is the number of respondents, namely 50 per month.
If you need more, you pay €19 for Lite, €39 for Plus, or €69 for Pro per month. Every plan stays cancelable monthly. Lite can be topped up to 750 respondents per month without switching plans.
Typeform
Typeform also allows unlimited forms on its free plan. In return you get only ten responses per month, counted across all forms combined, and at most ten questions per form. Once that quota is used up, the form stops accepting responses until the next month.
For more responses you need at least Basic for €35 per month. Basic is a single license and ends at 750 responses. After that, Typeform automatically moves your account into the Plus plan, which starts with a fixed three seats and costs around €70 per month.
Editor
empirio.ai
You briefly describe what it should be about, and the AI creates a first questionnaire. You adjust it by drag and drop, spread the questions across several pages, and check everything in the preview. Changes to a live survey stay a draft until you publish them.
Typeform
Typeform is known for forms that show one question at a time and so feel like a conversation. There too, an AI builds the form by chat, even on the free plan. Changes likewise stay a draft until you publish them.
Features
empirio.ai
Even for free you get all question types including matrix, ranking, and NPS, file uploads, export of the questionnaire as Word and PDF, as well as the MCP server, the REST API, and webhooks. From €39 come cross-tabulations, AI analysis of free-text answers, the drop-off rate, and export to PowerPoint and Word. That way you analyze your survey right in the tool instead of first preparing the data in Excel.
Typeform
Typeform's strengths lie before the analysis stage. Its logic can already calculate and assign points for free, Google Sheets, Slack, and Zapier are connected at no extra cost, and from €35 there is a quiz with automatic scoring. When it comes to analysis, though, it ends early, because Typeform collects inquiries more than it analyzes surveys. You see the responses individually and in simple charts and can download them as Excel or CSV. There are no true cross-tabulations, no SPSS export, and no export to PowerPoint and Word. The AI analysis sits only in the Enterprise, Talent, and Growth plans, and multilingual forms start only at Business.
