When GRTforms is a better fit
- You want to check each GRTforms feature on a public docs page.
- Signatures, Turnstile, IP blocks, and selected PDF export are enough.
- You want to generate a draft at /try before creating an account.
- You want HMAC-signed webhooks and API keys without adopting a second workflow product.
When Fillout is a better fit
- You specifically need Fillout workflows, portals, or a native integration they list and we do not.
- Your team already standardized on Fillout.
- You need payment collection on the form — not shipped in GRTforms.
- You want their current template or workflow marketplace; we do not mirror it.
