The category's chart of price against score: https://toolgpa.com/charts/forms ## Keep it, or make your own? **Keep it.** The plain part of Forsta you could make: surveys, forms and reports. What surrounds it you could not. The 4 things listed below take a company, not a weekend. That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 48 of the 60 other form and survey tools grade higher. - You could make: Surveys, forms and reports: an app builder makes these well. - You could not: Connections that pull numbers from dozens of other services. - You could not: It plugs into other products, Adobe Analytics, Adobe Experience Cloud and Brandwatch among them, and has an API. - You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself. - You could not: The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
