Keep FormBuilder, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace FormBuilder you would be making connections to other products, each kept working as those products change. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
It costs $468 a year.
What you could make
- Forms and templates: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change.
- What a company asks for before it lets staff use something: single sign-on.
- Sharing with other people, which means accounts and invitations.
What this rests on. FormBuilder’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
