Questions
Asked and answered.
Does Jotform store answers in a database too?
Yes — submissions go into Jotform Tables, with Boards for kanban and Report Builder for reports. It's the closest rival to DataBoard on this.
Can I move from Jotform to DataBoard?
Export submissions as CSV or Excel from Jotform and import the CSV into a new board. Forms are rebuilt in the builder or started from a template.
What happens when a plan's limit is reached?
On Jotform, its pricing page says the oldest responses are deleted once total submission storage is full. On DataBoard, you choose each form's close conditions.
