A Typeform alternative for developers and AI agents
Typeform and QuizGen solve the same basic problem — ask people questions, collect answers — from opposite directions.
The actual difference
Typeform starts from a visual editor: you open the builder, arrange question cards, pick fonts and backgrounds, then publish. It's built for a human to design one form carefully.
QuizGen starts from a JSON definition — written by you, or by an AI
assistant on your behalf — and skips the editor. POST the definition,
get back a live quizgen.dev/q/... link. There's a dashboard for humans who
want one, but nothing requires opening it.
Where each one wins
Pick Typeform if the form itself is a design deliverable — heavy branding, video backgrounds, a specific visual feel a client will judge.
Pick QuizGen if you want:
- An AI assistant to build the form for you. Point Claude, ChatGPT, or Cursor at quizgen.dev/llms.txt or the MCP server and describe what you want to ask.
- Scoring built in, not bolted on.
outcomeswith point-based buckets for lead qualification or "which X are you?" quizzes, no separate logic add-on. - A form to exist without an account first. No
Authorizationheader → an instant sandbox link, live for 72 hours and capped at 10 responses, claimable later. - A real API and JSON Schema, published at quizgen.dev/schema/v1.json, so a form definition can live in your own codebase and CI instead of only inside someone else's editor.
Try the comparison yourself
