What Each Tool Solves
Jotform Health is HIPAA-compliant form software. It is good at intake forms, consent forms, and survey collection with a signed BAA.
PHIGuard is the compliance program around those forms — the training log, the incident register, the risk analysis, the audit trail of who accessed which PHI and when. Forms are an input. The compliance program is what auditors ask for.
BAA Coverage
Both offer a BAA. Jotform Health includes it on the paid Health plan. PHIGuard includes it on every tier, signed on account creation.
What Lives Inside Each System
Jotform Health stores form submissions, which become PHI when they contain health information. It provides encryption, access controls, and a BAA. Beyond that, compliance documentation lives somewhere else.
PHIGuard stores the compliance artifacts that OCR asks for in an audit: policies, training records, risk analyses, incident files, vendor BAAs, and the append-only log of access.
Pricing
Jotform gates HIPAA features to its paid Health tier. Pricing is published on their site and tends to scale per user. Check current pricing when you evaluate.
PHIGuard is per clinic: Essentials $99/mo, Clinic $249/mo, Group $499/mo. No per-user scaling.

Who Should Choose Which
Choose Jotform Health if your primary problem is collecting patient information through online forms.
Choose PHIGuard if your primary problem is running a HIPAA compliance program — training, incidents, policies, audit trail — across the tools your clinic already uses.
Many clinics run both: Jotform Health for intake, PHIGuard for the compliance program.
