Can you trust the numbers in Fillout?
Fillout is a form builder where you describe the form you need and it creates it, with responses stored where you want them. Its own help pages give 3 reasons its numbers can look different from what you expect. The first to rule out: As Fillout's help pages say, unfinished responses are left out of the submission count, so that count can be lower than the number of people who started the form.
What does Fillout keep track of?
Fillout counts a response once the person finishes the form and reaches the last page.
In Fillout's own words:
A submission is normally recorded when a respondent submits the form and reaches the ending (or thank you page).
Missing form submissions, read 2026-11-12.Depending on your plan, Fillout also keeps responses from people who did not finish.
In Fillout's own words:
Partial responses may also be recorded and appear in the Results tab, depending on your plan.

How does Fillout work with Feder?
Connect Fillout to Feder and it joins your Interest apps. Feder only reads. It never changes anything in Fillout.
When you connect Fillout, Feder checks the connection straight away and shows Connected only when that check passes. If a reading cannot be taken later, Feder shows it as not read, never as zero.

Questions owners ask about Fillout
- Why does my Fillout completion rate look wrong?The completion rate divides finished forms by unique visitors, not by people who started, so it can look lower than expected.
- Why did my Fillout form responses drop?People who leave before the ending page may not be recorded as a full submission, so drop-offs late in the form can lower the count.
- Why doesn't my Fillout submission count match my billing period?Fillout counts submissions by calendar month, so the count can reset on a different day from when your plan renews.
Where do these answers come from?
Everything this page says about Fillout comes from Fillout's own pages, quoted above with the date we read them. Last reviewed 2026-11-12. We read them again by 2027-11-12. If one changes, this page changes or comes down.
Know the day a number breaks, not the month after.
Some numbers are too quiet to judge daily, such as a form filled in a few times a week. Until there is enough of your own history to judge a change, Feder says it is still learning and scores nothing, rather than guessing.
