- Results update as the customer types in list view, not just on submit
- Every submission arrives with the math already done, in ChatGPT or in the web portal on Pro
- Free in ChatGPT: unlimited forms and unlimited submissions

Questions about switching from Jotform
My Jotform has a complex calculation widget. Will CalcForms handle it?
If the logic started in a spreadsheet, paste the original Excel file into ChatGPT and CalcForms builds the form from your formulas. A function CalcForms does not have is named when the form is built, not guessed.
Can CalcForms handle conditional fields and branching logic?
Yes. IF logic and SWITCH conditions from your spreadsheet come across automatically. Fields can show or hide based on earlier answers.
How do I migrate my existing Jotform submissions?
CalcForms does not import old submissions. Keep your Jotform CSV export as your archive; new submissions land in CalcForms from the day you switch.
Is there a free tier to test before committing?
Yes. Unlimited forms and unlimited submissions in ChatGPT, no credit card required. Build something real and decide from there.
