ConsentForms vs Jotform
Jotform can collect a signature. ConsentForms is the product you use when the signature is the point — waivers, releases, and a hashed copy of what they saw.
Jotform is a large, general-purpose form platform. It is a reasonable choice if you already live there and need surveys, payments, and a hundred other form types. If your job is getting a legally useful consent record in a shop, gym, or camp, a general builder spends your time on settings you will never use.
ConsentForms stores submission payloads envelope-encrypted and keeps a content hash of the published form version. Public forms do not require the signer to create an account. QR and kiosk are first-class, not add-ons you hunt for.
We are smaller. Jotform will have more integrations. If you need a full survey suite, stay on Jotform. If you need a tattoo consent on a counter QR this afternoon, start here.

Questions
Can I leave Jotform without retyping every form?
Paste a link to your existing form into Jarvis, or upload a PDF/photo of the paper version. Review the draft in the builder, then publish.
Do signers need a ConsentForms account?
No. They open the link, sign, and leave. You keep the encrypted record.
Guides and templates are a starting point, not legal advice. ConsentForms is not a HIPAA product.
