The Verdict
Stackby is built for small businesses and solopreneurs, with a focus on api-columns and column-types. Typeform targets marketers and researchers and leads with conversational-forms and logic-jumps.
On pricing, Stackby is the clear winner for budget-conscious users — starting at $5/mo compared to $25/mo for Typeform. That $20/mo difference adds up quickly for growing teams.
Both offer free plans, so you can test each with your real workflow before committing to a subscription.
Typeform edges out on user ratings (4.4 vs 4.1). While both are well-regarded, that gap reflects real differences in user satisfaction worth considering.
Bottom line: Typeform has a slight overall edge — but if very affordable pricing matters most to you, Stackby may still be the right call.
