Conversational forms look like conversations — but they can't ask why. Eliciteer is the Typeform alternative for teams who need real follow-up questions, not just a friendlier survey UI.
It depends on whether your questions have follow-ups.
The gap isn't the UI — it's what happens after the respondent answers.
Typeform's paid plans run from $25/month (Basic, 100 responses) to $83/month (Business, 10,000 responses) — per-response pricing that gets expensive exactly when your research succeeds and volume grows.
Eliciteer starts free (3 interview topics per month, 10 responses each). Pro is $29/month with 50 topics and unlimited responses. Every response is a complete adaptive interview with follow-ups and a structured summary included — the analysis you'd otherwise do by hand is part of the price.
You don't migrate forms — you replace them with briefings. Pick the Typeform with the most open-ended questions (a feedback survey, NPS follow-up, or research questionnaire). Write a short briefing in Eliciteer describing what you want to learn from respondents and why.
Share the new interview link through the same channels you used for the Typeform. Each respondent now gets a conversation instead of a questionnaire: the AI covers your topics, probes vague answers, and follows interesting threads.
When responses arrive, you get structured summaries instead of a spreadsheet of raw text. Pipe them to your stack via webhooks (n8n, Make, Zapier) — or just read summaries that someone else already wrote.
For qualitative research specifically — user interviews, market research, requirements gathering, candidate screening — an AI interview platform like Eliciteer goes further than any form builder, because it asks adaptive follow-up questions and returns structured summaries instead of raw responses. Form builders compete on design; AI interviewers compete on depth.
Typeform's conversational format improves completion rates, but the questions are still fixed before anyone responds. Qualitative research lives in the follow-ups: why did you choose that, what did you try first, what almost stopped you? A static form — however polished — cannot ask those questions.
Typically the opposite. Adaptive conversations keep respondents engaged because every question is relevant to what they just said. Eliciteer interviews see roughly 3-4x the completion rate of comparable static forms.
There's no import needed — Eliciteer works from a briefing, not a question list. Paste your existing questions into the briefing as topics to cover, add context about your goals, and the AI generates an interview plan you can review and refine.
It's usually faster. Instead of designing every screen, logic jump, and validation rule, you describe what you want to learn in plain language. Most users go from briefing to a shareable interview link in about five minutes.
Keep them. Typeform and Google Forms are fine for transactional data collection. Use Eliciteer for anything where answers deserve follow-up questions — many teams run both side by side.
Replace one static form with an AI interview and compare what comes back. Free to start, five minutes to set up.
