Which one is for you
Pick Feathery if
- Fits if you run onboarding or account opening at a financial or insurance firm
- Works for teams that already use Salesforce or custodians such as Schwab and Fidelity
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you want to see a price first, as the pricing page asks for an email
- Not for you if you need a free plan or trial, because only a time-boxed pilot is offered
- Too light for general contact or sign-up forms, since it is pitched at financial services
- Watch out: pricing is mainly based on volume, so costs can rise with use
Pick Formstack if
- Fits if you want forms, generated documents and e-signatures from one vendor
- Works for Salesforce teams who want forms inside their org, or forms that pass through several reviewers
Look elsewhere if
- Pricey if you only need forms: $83 a month billed yearly ($99 monthly) for 1 builder, 25 forms and 1,000 submissions per form
- Not for you if you want a free plan, since there's only a 14-day trial
- Skip it if you need e-signatures or document generation on a budget, as those come with Suite at $250 a month
- Watch out: HIPAA compliance is an add-on, and API access, SSO and custom SLAs are on Enterprise with no public price
- Not for you if you want a phone or desktop app, as Formstack runs on the web only
How we grade them
| 1.8GPAFeatheryWeak | 2.2GPAFormstackFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CNo price is published; the page asks for an email address to produce a quote, and says pricing is mainly set by volume. | D$83 a month paid yearly is past the $74 where this category's dearest tenth starts, and it buys 1 builder user, 25 forms and 1,000 submissions per form. Documents and e-signatures mean Suite at $250, ten times the $24 middle. |
| Free plan and trial | FNo free plan and no trial on record. A pilot is offered before an annual plan, but the page names no price for it. | CNo free plan at all. What you get is a 14-day trial of Forms that needs no credit card, and after that it's a paid plan or nothing. |
| Features | CWorkflow automation, document intelligence, a client portal and an AI assistant do the job for its niche. It is a narrower job than general form building. | BIt covers the whole job and the paperwork after it: a no-code builder with an AI draft, prefilled and SSO-powered links, group approvals, step logic and conditional routing, then generated documents and unlimited e-signatures with no per-envelope fee on Suite. |
| Ease of use | CNo store rating on record. Workflows and document steps have to be set up and connected first. | CNo store rating on record, and this is a platform to configure rather than a thing to open: forms to build, approval steps and routing to lay out. The AI builder drafting a form is the quickest way in. |
| Platforms and integrations | BWeb only, with named connections to Salesforce, Schwab, Fidelity and Guidewire. | BWeb with integrations for Salesforce, HubSpot, Stripe, PayPal, Airtable, Amazon S3 and Microsoft Dynamics. No phone or desktop apps, and API access is listed under Enterprise only. |

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
