Which one is for you
Pick Formbricks if
- Fits if you're a product team asking questions inside your own website or app and can run a server
- Works for organizations that must keep feedback data on their own infrastructure
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you don't want to run a server: there's no cloud plan right now, and hosting by Formbricks is only listed as coming soon
- Not for you if you want a price up front, as the Experience Suite license is quoted after a call
- Watch out: SSO, roles, audit logs and an SLA need the paid license, and the free edition gets community support only
- Skip it if you want a quick contact form, since there's a whole instance to set up first
Pick Typebot if
- Fits if you want a form that talks like a chat on your site
- Works for developers who would rather host it themselves
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if you stay free, with 200 chats a month and Typebot branding
- Pricey if you want annual billing, since only monthly is offered
- Watch out: a chat counts when a visitor starts a conversation, however few messages follow
- Watch out: WhatsApp, custom domains and in-depth analytics need the $89 Pro plan
How we grade them
| 2.4GPAFormbricksFair | 2.4GPATypebotFair | |
|---|---|---|
| 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. | CStarter is $39 a month for 2 seats and 2,000 chats, above the $34 dearer-quarter mark for one person. Pro is $89 for 5 seats, about $18 a seat. |
| 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. | BPersonal is free with unlimited typebots, 200 chats a month, native integrations, webhooks and custom code, which one person could live on. |
| 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. | CFlow editor, embeds, analytics and custom code do the job. WhatsApp, custom domains and in-depth analytics need Pro. |
| 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. You design each flow yourself, and self-hosting is a separate chore. |
| 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 OpenAI, Google Sheets, Google Analytics, Zapier, Make, Pabbly Connect and WhatsApp. |

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.
