Yes, up to 250 form submissions and 100 bookings a month. Most solo freelancers never pass that.

Can I use my own domain?

Not yet. Your page lives at calendarform.bobwork.ai/your-name.

Is a free client intake form enough for freelancers in Japan?

For most small freelancers, yes. You get 250 form submissions and 100 bookings free every month; after that, $5 buys 2,000 more submissions or 500 bookings, and packs never expire. Prices on your page can be in JPY.

Does the form follow the APPI?

The form collects only the questions you add and shows your consent line. Following the APPI is still your job: ask only what you need, say why, and link your privacy notice.

Can I write the form in Japanese?

Yes. Questions, options and the thank-you message are free text, so you can write them in Japanese.

Free client intake form for freelancers in Japan

A freelancer in Japan needs a client intake form that asks the right questions, shows prices in JPY, uses +81 phone numbers and fits the APPI. CalendarForm gives you that form free for 250 submissions a month, joined to a booking page that shows times in Asia/Tokyo (UTC+9 all year, no daylight saving).

What to put on a client intake form in Japan

Full name
Email
Company and website
What do you need done?
Deadline
Budget range
Phone, in the local format (for example +81 90-1234-5678)
Consent: "I agree to the freelancer using these details for my booking, as set out in the privacy notice (the APPI)"

Show the price as text on the booking page, for example "¥3,000 for a project kick-off call, pay by card and PayPay". CalendarForm does not take payment itself, so customers pay you the way they already do in Japan.

What freelancers usually let customers book

Intro call: a 1-to-1 appointment, 15 min
Project kickoff: a 1-to-1 appointment, 45 min

For freelancers in Japan, CalendarForm gives a freelancer one page with a booking link for calls and a project brief form, so new clients book a time and tell you what they need in one step. Most freelancers stay inside the free tier.

Put the booking link in your email signature.

Use a project brief form before every kickoff.

Set minimum notice so you are never booked same-day by surprise.

Privacy: what the APPI means for this form

Nationally, the APPI is the Act on the Protection of Personal Information: state the purpose of use and keep to it.

CalendarForm keeps each business's answers separate, lets you export them to CSV, and does not use them for anything else. Link your own privacy notice in the form's description.

Booking times in Japan

Japan has no daylight saving, so your timetable never shifts against UTC: UTC+9 every day of the year.

Customers booking from abroad still see the time in Asia/Tokyo, with the zone printed next to it, and their confirmation email repeats it.

Set it up in four steps

Sign up free, pick the closest business type, and rename the starter form to "Client intake form".
Set the time zone to Asia/Tokyo and add your opening hours.
Edit the questions above, add the the APPI consent line, and attach the form to your booking page.
Share your link. Each booking sends an email confirmation with a cancel link, and a reminder 24 hours before.
