Keep Kali Forms, or make your own?
Your call
A form at its plainest is questions, a button and a table of answers.
You could make the core of Kali Forms for yourself: forms and templates. What you would give up is listed below. Whether that is worth the price is your call. It costs $78 a year.
What you could make
- Forms and templates: an app builder makes these well.
- It runs in a browser, which is where something home-made would run too.
What you could not
- It plugs into other products, PayPal, Stripe and Mailchimp among them.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. Kali Forms’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.
