How we grade them
| 2.4GPAFormbricksFair | 3.2GPAFormgridVery good | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CThe Community Edition is free under AGPLv3, but only if you host it yourself, which means paying for and running a server, so it isn't free in the way a download is. The paid Experience Suite license has no published price; it's quoted on yearly responses and workspaces after a call. | AFree and substantial: unlimited forms and responses. Plus is $19 a month billed annually, against $19.99 for the category's middle. |
| Free plan and trial | BThe self-hosted Community Edition is free with surveys on every channel, the API and webhooks, and a 15-day trial license switches on the paid features in your own instance. The catch is that you pay for and run the server yourself, and support is community only. | AFree plan with unlimited forms and responses, themes, logic and 10 MB uploads. A normal person won't hit a cap. |
| Features | BIt covers the survey job end to end: by link, on a website, in an email or triggered inside a web or mobile app, with an API, webhooks and an MCP server. AI analysis, dashboards and workflows need the paid license. | BAI drafting, form logic, field types, results, connections and branding controls. Nothing in the listing is missing from the job; the gating is on branding and teams. |
| Ease of use | DNo store rating on record, and it has to be self-hosted for now: you run it on your own servers and database before the first survey goes out. Hosting by Formbricks is only listed as coming soon. | CNo store rating on record, and it is a web app where the work is building each form, so it sits at C. |
| Platforms and integrations | BWeb, with an API, webhooks and an MCP server, plus Slack, Zapier, Notion, n8n, Make, Google Sheets and Airtable. No app of its own, though. | BWeb only, with five listed integrations. |
| Best for | self-hosted open-source surveys | a free form builder with unlimited forms |

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.
