Filla vs Formstack
Filla is purpose-built for Airtable with 18 processor tools from $19/mo. Formstack is an enterprise form platform with HIPAA compliance, e-signatures, and workflows starting at $50/mo.
Formstack is enterprise-grade with HIPAA and e-signatures. But it's not built for Airtable. Filla connects natively with linked records and 18 processor tools at a fraction of the price.

Feature comparison
Where Filla wins
Airtable-native, no middleware
Filla connects directly to Airtable via the API. No Zapier required, no manual field mapping. Select your base and table, and form fields generate automatically.
18 processor tools included
CSV export, document generation, duplicate detection, email validation, geocoding, QR codes, and more. All on every plan. Formstack requires separate products for documents and e-signatures.
Fraction of the price
Filla Starter is $19/mo with unlimited forms and all tools. Formstack Starter is $50/mo with 20 forms. Formstack Documents and Formstack Sign are additional subscriptions.
Linked records across tables
Create and link records in related Airtable tables from a single form. Formstack has no awareness of Airtable's relational data model.
Free plan available
Filla offers a free plan with unlimited forms, all tools, and 100 records/mo. Formstack has no free tier.
Where Formstack wins
HIPAA compliance
Formstack offers HIPAA-compliant forms for healthcare and regulated industries. Filla does not currently offer HIPAA compliance.
Native e-signatures
Formstack Sign provides standalone electronic signature workflows with audit trails. Filla has signature capture on forms but not standalone e-signature documents.
Enterprise workflow automation
Formstack Workflows offers approval chains, multi-step routing, and enterprise process automation. Filla's automations are scoped to on-submit actions.
SOC 2 and enterprise compliance
Formstack is designed for enterprise security requirements including SOC 2, GDPR, and PCI DSS compliance. Filla is designed for SMB Airtable teams.
Payment collection
Formstack supports in-form payments via Stripe, PayPal, and other processors. Filla does not support payment collection.
More than a form builder
Filla is a complete data platform for Airtable. Every tool works together.
