Number of forms per account

We are trying to decide between the Bronze and Silver tiers.  Does the number of forms allowed refer to a monthly form count or is that the total amount for the account period?

That would be the total amount of Forms created in your account.

For Bronze you can create up to 25 Forms maximum.

While the Silver Plan can have 100 Forms.

Since you are still new, you can still start with the Lowest Plan and Upgrade to a higher one if you needed more.
