Known Source Gaps
- No direct target-buyer interviews, win/loss notes, support tickets, or user analytics.
- No hands-on competitor trials for AI quality, setup burden, integration friction, or client-facing polish.
- Jotform exact public plan pricing and limits remain a source gap because reliable extracted pricing was not available from the public page.
- Pricing pages are volatile; all public pricing facts should be rechecked before pricing decisions.
- No review-site or community sentiment pass was included.
- No direct test of Typeform MCP, Jotform APIs, Tally webhooks, Fillout API, or Paperform integrations.
