Typeform alternative
A Typeform alternative for the questions typing can’t answer.
Typeform makes typing feel less like a form. Sayso skips typing altogether — an audio intake form builder where people answer by talking and you get back a transcript, not a guess.
Where they differ
Same intake problem, different fix.
~3× faster
to speak than to type
85%
of typed forms never return
$9 / month
after three free Asks
| Compared on | Typed form | Sayso |
|---|---|---|
| Time to answer | Twenty to forty minutes of typing — if they sit down at all. | A few minutes of talking. People say more in ninety seconds than they type into a box. |
| Come back empty | Up to 85% of typed forms never get filled in. | Voice-enabled forms abandon under 20%. |
| What you receive | A short, AI-polished paragraph. Or silence. | Their actual words, transcribed, ready to use. |
| Your time after send | Follow-up emails. A call to fill the gaps. Rewriting what GPT handed you. | You read the write-up. |
| What that costs | An hour of chase, every empty form — at a hundred dollars, that is routine. | $9 a month. Three Asks free, no card. |

Talking is roughly three times faster than typing. The empty-form numbers are the same ones in the section above. One hour spent chasing a blank form already covers more than two months of Sayso.
Typeform, question by question.
| Compared on | Typeform | Sayso |
|---|---|---|
| How they answer | Type into fields, one logic-jump at a time. | Talk. One question on screen, answered out loud. |
| What you get back | Short typed fragments, or a form abandoned partway through. | A transcript in their own words, plus a written summary. |
| If the tab dies mid-answer | Whatever was not submitted is gone. | Audio is chunked to the device every few seconds, so it survives a dropped connection. |
| Account required to answer | No account, but every question is still typed. | No account. One private link, nothing to install. |
| Getting it into a doc | Export and reformat yourself. | Export a finished answer straight to Google Docs. |

Questions people ask before switching
Sayso keeps an Ask to a set of questions grouped into sections — it is not trying to be a full logic-branching form builder. If your intake genuinely needs a decision tree, Typeform still does that better. If it needs real answers, Sayso does.
Yes. Voice is the point, not a requirement — every question also accepts a typed or pasted answer.
No, it is a separate Ask builder. Some teams run both: Typeform for short structured surveys, Sayso for anything where the answer is a story rather than a checkbox.
