Best for online registrations, orders and surveys
Formsite is an online form builder for registrations, orders and surveys, with a free level after a 14-day trial that asks for no card. Results are capped per form, and add-ons such as sub-users at $10 a month and file storage at $10 a GB push the real bill up.
Who Formsite is for
- Fits if you run event sign-ups or order forms with a few hundred results
- Works for teams who want a trial without handing over a card
Who Formsite is not for
- Tight if you stay free, because 10 results per form runs out fast
- Watch out: Personal caps results at 500 per form, Professional at 1,000 and Business at 2,500
- Pricey if you add helpers, as sub-users are $10 a month each and storage $10 per GB
- Watch out: payments, the API and third-party integrations are Professional and up, at $34 a month
Why Formsite gets a 2.2
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- CValue for moneyPersonal is $21 a month billed yearly, in the ordinary band. Professional, where payments and the API start, is $34.
- CFree plan and trial14-day trial of Professional with no card, then a free level of 5 forms, 10 results per form and 50 MB of files.
- CFeaturesForms, payments, workflows and PDF results cover the basics, but results are capped per form at 500, 1,000 or 2,500 on paid plans.
- CEase of useNo store rating on record. It is a web app where you build each form yourself.
- BPlatforms and integrationsWeb only, with Salesforce, Google Sheets, Slack, Mailchimp, Zapier, DocuSign, Stripe and PayPal.

Keep Formsite, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Formsite 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: 37 of the 60 other form and survey tools grade higher. It costs $252 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. Formsite’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.
