# Padlet vs Forms+

Padlet and Forms+ both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 61% of Padlet's written reviews are positive against 44% of Forms+'s. Forms+'s advantage is chart position (#170 vs unranked) and update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Padlet sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Forms+ sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Padlet against 4.8 for Forms+. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Forms+ has 45K ratings behind it against 6.7K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 61% of Padlet's written reviews are positive against 44% of Forms+'s.

Padlet ships an update fortnightly, Forms+ weekly. Both last shipped on September 25, 2026.
