Fantastic 8: top sign up form builders. No-code edition

Once you launch a new app, what is the very first window you see? What is the-first-impression-maker? Right, a sign up form page – a must-have element of any app. 

As we all know, nobody builds a sign up form from scratch, and there are tools designed to simplify sign up form creation, quiz and form making, etc. Hardly a month goes by without a new, more easy-to-use, more cost-efficient, and template-rich free form generator appearing on the market. So it may be hard to find a proper one from the variety.

We’ve prepared the list of the most popular and pleasant in use sign up visual form building tools among the currently available ones.
