Our take on forms & capture
Form tools used to be simple. In 2026, they're where inbound speed-to-lead lives or dies. The best forms in this category do routing, qualification, enrichment, and meeting-booking in a single embedded flow. Modern forms turn a static contact form into a full inbound acquisition pipeline.
Default is our pick when you're rebuilding the inbound funnel — it combines forms with routing and scheduling in one product. HubSpot Forms is fine if you're deep in HubSpot. Fillout and Tally are lightweight alternatives. Typeform still wins on user experience. Webflow Forms are the default if your site is on Webflow.
Match the form tool to what your form needs to actually do. Pure lead capture → HubSpot Forms or Tally. Full inbound routing → Default. Brand experience → Typeform. Modern middle ground → Fillout.
How we'd stack these tools together
Forms are the entry point. They pass to routing tools, get enriched by Clay, and produce records in your CRM. Modern forms like Default combine all three layers into one product.
