The best Cognito Forms alternative
Looking for a Cognito Forms alternative? Sift replaces traditional form builders with AI-powered text extraction. Users write naturally — Sift extracts the structured data you need.
Why teams switch from Cognito Forms
No more form fatigue
Long forms kill completion rates. With Sift, users write one paragraph and AI extracts all the fields you need. Higher completion rates, richer data.
AI understands context
Traditional forms can't understand “I was charged twice yesterday” — they need separate date and amount fields. Sift's AI extracts meaning from natural language.
Works in 120+ languages
No need to build separate forms for each language. Sift's AI extracts structured data regardless of the input language.
