How we grade them
| 3.0GPAFormbricksVery good | 3.4GPAHeyFormVery good | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CPro is $74 a month paid yearly, $89 monthly, and that buys 2,000 responses. Forms tools typically start around $25. Hiding the Formbricks branding and the integrations start there too, and going over your limit is charged per response. | ABasic is $15 a month billed annually, $18 monthly, for unlimited forms and 5,000 responses a month. That's well under the usual price for forms. But HeyForm takes 3% of payments on Basic, and removing its branding starts at Premium, $24. |
| Free plan and trial | BThe Hobby cloud plan is free with all question types, logic and API access, but it stops at 250 responses a month and 1 workspace. The self-hosted Community Edition is free with unlimited surveys and responses, if you'll run it yourself. | BThere's a free cloud plan with no time limit, but the pricing page doesn't list what's in it, so we can't call it generous. Paid plans have a 7-day free trial. You can also self-host the open-source edition without charge. |
| Features | ASurveys by link, on a website, in an email or inside a web or mobile app. Every cloud plan has all question types, conditional logic, hidden fields and recall of earlier answers. Pro adds segments, so a survey only shows to the people it's meant for. | AConversational forms with conditional logic, answer piping, different endings and an AI generator that drafts a form from a description. Paid plans take payments, file uploads and signatures. Uploads stop at 10 MB each on Basic and Premium. |
| Ease of use | BNo App Store rating on record, so a B is our ceiling, and that's for the cloud, which is hosted for you. Hosting it yourself means installing it with Docker, which is a bigger job. | BNo App Store rating on record, so a B is our ceiling, and that's for the hosted version.
