A Jotform Alternative When Encryption Must Be Zero-Knowledge
Jotform offers many field types and workflows. Cyphorm trades some of that breadth for an architecture where we never receive your private key.
Encryption model
Jotform's end-to-end options often center on passwords or flows where the product can still participate in decryption paths. When a provider helps users recover, search, or export decrypted data, ask who can participate in that flow—the user only, or the vendor too?
Cyphorm encrypts with your RSA public key in the respondent's browser; decryption happens only with your locally held private key. There is no password to share, no recovery flow that involves our servers, and no path for us to read your submissions.
| Feature | Cyphorm | Jotform E2E (high level) |
|---|---|---|
| Zero-knowledge to vendor | Yes | Varies by product mode |
| Private key in browser only | Yes | Not the same architecture |
| Free tier with encryption | Yes | Check current Jotform plans |
| Paid from | $12/mo | Often from ~$34/mo for paid tiers |
| Recovery without private key | Impossible (by design) | Password recovery may involve vendor |
Where Jotform wins
Mature integrations, payments, and a very large template marketplace. If your workflow needs complex conditional logic, payment processing, or CRM connectors and confidentiality from the host is not a priority, Jotform's breadth is hard to match.
Where Cyphorm wins
Strict separation: ciphertext-only storage and honest positioning for regulated or privileged workflows. When you need to demonstrate to clients, regulators, or legal counsel that the form vendor cannot read submissions, Cyphorm's architecture delivers that proof.
