Fillout Custom Domains: Plans, Costs & Setup [2026]

Quick answer: Yes, Fillout supports custom domains—your forms can live at ask.acme.com/contact instead of fillout.com/.... But the feature is only available on the Business plan: $75/month, or $900 billed annually. No lower tier includes it—not Free, not Starter, and not Pro ($40/mo), which removes Fillout’s branding but still serves your forms on fillout.com URLs.

The good news: setup is genuinely simple (a CNAME record and a verification click), and Fillout supports custom URL endings—clean slugs like /contact, not opaque form IDs.

In this guide, we’ll cover which plans include custom domains, what it costs, how setup works, and what your options are if the Business-plan price doesn’t fit.

Yes—on the Business plan. Once connected, all your form links begin with your domain, and Fillout lets you customize the URL ending of each form, so links like ask.acme.com/contact are fully supported.

Here’s how Fillout’s branded-link features stack up across plans, per Fillout’s pricing table:

Notice the split: Pro removes the branding, but Business is where your URLs actually become yours. On Pro, your forms lose the Fillout badge while still living on a fillout.com web address—a half-branded state. If the goal is a fully branded form experience, Fillout’s pricing table routes you to Business regardless.

There’s no separate fee for custom domains—they’re included with the Business plan. What that means in practice, per Fillout’s pricing table:

• Free — $0: 1,000 responses/mo, no custom domains
• Starter — $15/mo ($180 billed annually): 2,000 responses/mo, no custom domains
• Pro — $40/mo ($480 billed annually): 5,000 responses/mo, branding removal + custom share links, still no custom domain
• Business — $75/mo ($900 billed annually): unlimited responses, custom domains, partial submissions, form analytics

So the real cost of a branded URL on Fillout is the jump from Pro to Business: $40 → $75/mo monthly, or $480 → $900 annually—nearly double—and custom domains sit only at the top of the self-serve ladder, alongside unlimited responses and partial submissions.

If you’re on Business, here’s the process:

1. Open account settings. On the Fillout dashboard, click your account name in the upper-left corner, then Settings.

2. Add your domain. Navigate to Custom domain and click Add domain. Choose For forms and enter a domain you own.

3. Add the CNAME record. Log in to your domain provider and add the CNAME record as instructed in the Fillout dashboard. Verification can take anywhere from a few seconds to a few hours—click Refresh in Fillout to check. Setup is complete once the Pending status is gone.

4. Share your new links. That’s it—all your form links now begin with your domain, visible on the Share page. You can also customize each form’s URL ending (the slug) to create clean paths like ask.acme.com/contact.

The feature itself works well—these are the constraints worth knowing before you commit:

• Top-tier gating. Custom domains are only on Business, the highest self-serve plan. At $75/mo ($900/yr), that’s the price of admission—there’s no mid-tier path to a branded URL.
• Branding and the domain are split across tiers. Pro ($40/mo) removes Fillout’s branding; Business ($75/mo) adds your domain. If you want both—the badge gone and the URL yours—Business is required either way.
• Response meters until Business. Free, Starter, and Pro cap responses at 1,000, 2,000, and 5,000/month respectively. Unlimited responses arrive at the same tier as custom domains—so growing funnels feel the gating twice.
• CNAME-based setup. The documented flow uses a CNAME record for your domain; apex domains (bare mybrand.com) aren’t part of the documented instructions.
• Verification timing varies. Anywhere from seconds to a few hours, with a manual Refresh to check status.

The direct comparison, point by point:

Plan positioning. Fillout puts custom domains on Business: $75/mo or $900/yr. Formware puts them on Pro at $29.99/month or $299/year—less than half the monthly price, and about a third of the annual cost, at a mid-tier rather than the top of the ladder.

Bundling at the tier. On Fillout, the features that surround a branded form are spread across the ladder: redirect on completion arrives on Starter, branding removal on Pro, custom domains and partial submissions on Business. Formware’s Pro bundles all of it at one price—custom domain, white-labeling, partial submissions, custom redirects, and respondent email notifications—so a branded, lead-recovering form doesn’t require stacking tiers.

The free plan. Fillout’s free plan caps responses at 1,000/month. Formware’s free plan offers unlimited forms, questions, and responses (subject to fair use), with hidden fields, recall, and conditional logic included—so you can run a real funnel at $0 and upgrade for branding, not for headroom.

Domain types. Fillout’s documented setup is CNAME-based. Formware supports both subdomains (CNAME) and apex domains (A records)—so acme.com/forms and ask.acme.com/contact are both possible.

Where Fillout stands tall. Credit where due: Fillout’s setup flow is genuinely simple—CNAME, a Refresh click, done—and its custom URL endings mean clean, memorable links. Formware’s flow matches that simplicity (add the domain, add the provided DNS records, verify, map forms to URL paths), with SSL certificates issued and renewed automatically and hosting handled on Formware’s infrastructure. On URL structure and setup effort, the two are peers; the difference is the tier and the price at which you get them.

Yes. Fillout supports custom domains on its Business plan—form links begin with your domain, and you can customize each form’s URL ending for clean paths like ask.acme.com/contact. Custom domains aren’t available on the Free, Starter, or Pro plans.

Business—$75/month, or $900 billed annually. It’s Fillout’s top self-serve tier. Pro ($40/mo) removes branding and adds custom share links, but your forms still live on fillout.com URLs until Business.

There’s no separate fee—custom domains come with the Business plan at $75/mo ($900/yr). In practice, the cost is the tier jump: moving from Pro ($480/yr) to Business ($900/yr) nearly doubles your annual spend to get a branded URL. Formware includes custom domains on Pro at $29.99/month or $299/year.

No. Per Fillout’s pricing table, custom domains start at the Business plan. Free accounts share forms on fillout.com URLs with Fillout branding, capped at 1,000 responses/month.

Yes—this is a genuine Fillout strength. With a custom domain connected, you can change each form’s slug, so links like ask.acme.com/contact are fully supported. Formware supports the same clean URL structure on its Pro plan.

The CNAME record may not have propagated yet—Fillout’s documentation notes verification can take anywhere from a few seconds to a few hours. Confirm the CNAME record at your domain provider matches what the Fillout dashboard instructed, then click Refresh in Fillout. Setup is complete once the Pending status disappears.

Fillout’s documented setup flow is CNAME-based—built around domains verified via a CNAME record—and doesn’t include apex (bare) domain instructions like mybrand.com. Formware supports both: apex domains via A records and subdomains via CNAME on its custom domains feature.

Formware includes custom domains on Pro at $29.99/month or $299/year—no top-tier jump required. It supports both apex domains and subdomains, clean URLs like ask.acme.com/contact, automatic SSL, and bundles white-labeling, partial submissions, and custom redirects at the same tier. Its free plan offers unlimited responses. See the full Formware vs. Fillout comparison, or our Fillout alternatives guide for the wider market.
