The category's chart of price against score: https://toolgpa.com/charts/forms ## Keep it, or make your own? **Keep it.** To replace Zerion 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. - You could make: Forms: an app builder makes this well. - You could not: Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change. - You could not: A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page. - 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.
