The pricing page limits API access to Business Platform accounts quoted by sales. Keys travel in the URL query string, and no status page, OpenAPI document or SDK was found.\n\n**Fillout.** Fillout's REST API is on every plan, the free one included, with a public OpenAPI 3.0.1 spec, llms.txt and submission filters by date, status and text. It has eight operations and none creates or edits a form. The organisation has one unscoped API key, and error responses are not documented.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Alchemer\n\n1. Use the host for the account's region (`api.alchemer.com`, `api.alchemer.eu`, `api.alchemer-ca.com` or `api.au.alchemer.com`). The wrong host returns a 401 login failure even with valid keys\n2. Create with PUT and update with POST. The API reverses the usual meaning of the two methods\n3. Do not repeat an identical request inside 60 seconds. GET results are cached for 60 seconds and a repeat can return 429\n4. Stay under 240 requests a minute for the account and slow down when the `X-SG-Warning` header appears\n5. Wait up to five minutes before reading back a response that was just submitted, and expect a 500 after a 30 second timeout\n\n### Fillout\n\n1. Build the form in the Fillout editor first. The API reads forms and writes submissions but can't create a form or change its questions\n2. Read the base URL from the Developer settings page. EU-hosted accounts use https://eu-api.fillout.com/v1/api\n3. Stay under 5 requests a second per key and read the `ratelimit-remaining` and `ratelimit-reset` response headers\n4. Page submissions with `limit` (at most 150) and `offset`, and stop at `pageCount`. `status=in_progress` returns unfinished ones\n5. Send at most 10 submissions per create call and don't retry blindly, because the call has no idempotency key\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Alchemer or Fillout?\n\nFillout scores 52.2 (D) on agent readiness against Alchemer's 41.4 (E), and leads in 5 of 7 scored categories. Alchemer leads on security \u0026 auth.\n\n### Do Alchemer and Fillout need an API key?\n\nBoth take an API key or an OAuth sign-in.\n\n### Can an agent call Alchemer and Fillout without installing anything?\n\nYes. Alchemer has a hosted endpoint at https://api.alchemer.com/v5 and Fillout at https://api.fillout.com/v1/api.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/alchemer-vs-fillout.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/alchemer-vs-fillout.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"alchemer\", \"b\": \"fillout\"}`.
