Savings proposal
At 5 seats, Typeform costs about $91 a month and self-hosting Typebot about $264, so Typeform is cheaper at this size.
List price: Typeform Business, billed annually. Plans include 1, 3 and 5 seats and cap responses (100, 1,000 and 10,000 a month). Bigger teams need Enterprise, which is quote-based. Source, checked 2026-10-07.

Assumptions you can change
Self-hosting Typebot usually means an app server, a database and a cache or worker. Hours are for one engineer; the server cost is a typical cloud VPS with backups and grows with the number of people using it.
Not included: paid editions or features of Typebot (see What's free?), large data migrations, and compliance work. All amounts in US dollars at list price; your negotiated price may differ.
