FAQ
My Jotform has a complex calculation widget. Will CalcForms handle it?
Almost certainly yes. If the logic originated in a spreadsheet, CalcForms can run it. Paste the original Excel file into ChatGPT and it builds the equivalent form with your formulas intact.
Can CalcForms handle conditional fields and branching logic?
Yes. IF logic and SWITCH conditions from your spreadsheet come across automatically. Fields can show or hide based on earlier answers.
How do I migrate my existing Jotform submissions?
CalcForms does not import old submissions. Keep your Jotform CSV export as your archive; new submissions land in CalcForms from the day you switch.
Is there a free tier to test before committing?
Yes. Unlimited forms and unlimited submissions in ChatGPT, no credit card required. Build something real and decide from there.
