The report card
Best for Dutch-built online forms with branching
Formdesk is a Dutch online form builder sold in yearly tiers by submissions a month. There is no permanent free plan, forms close at the quota on Standard plans, and optional modules cost extra.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | Standard Small is €65 a year excluding VAT for 250 submissions a month, but optional modules cost €110 a year more and Business starts at €1,170. |
| Free plan and trial | C | A 3-month trial of 25 submissions a month that does not renew into a paid plan. No card is mentioned, and no free plan follows. |
| Features | C | Branching, calculations, validations, file upload, notifications, results and workflows. On Standard, forms close at the quota and uploads are only 25 MB of space. |
| Ease of use | C | No 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 | C | Web only, with no integrations listed on the pages read. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
To replace Formdesk 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.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 93 of the 148 other form and survey tools grade higher. It costs $72.62 a year.
What you could make
- Forms, surveys and templates: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change.
What this rests on. Formdesk’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.
