Tripetto
- Magnetic storyboard
- Forms are laid out like flowcharts on a storyboard, so branches and conversational paths can be seen and rearranged without code.
- Three form layouts
- The same form can be shown as an autoscroll sequence of single questions, as a chat, or as a classic page of fields.
- Logic and calculations
- Branch, jump and pipe logic are included on every version. Pro adds a calculator, custom variables, hidden fields and a send-email action.
- Notifications and connections
- Pro sends email and Slack notifications and connects to Make, Zapier, Pabbly Connect and custom webhooks.

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.
