Alternatives to Formbricks
Open source surveys and in-app micro-surveys
Formbricks ranks #7 of 10 in Form builders, with an Alt Score of 81. It is licensed under AGPL-3.0, open source with paid hosting from $74/month and available on the web. 11 of 12 checklist rows are verified against a public source.
Product teams, developers, and privacy-conscious organizations who need to collect user or customer feedback via surveys, especially those requiring GDPR compliance or self-hosting rather than a cloud-only vendor like Qualtrics or Typeform.
An open-source survey and experience management platform for building surveys and deploying them in-app, on websites, via email, or as standalone links. It supports audience segmentation and targeting, event-triggered survey timing (e.g., after a signup or billing event), and a unified dashboard for analyzing responses. It can be used as Formbricks Cloud or fully self-hosted on your own infrastructure.
You build a survey with the survey builder, define the target segment and trigger conditions (page visit, in-app event, etc.), and deploy it via the website/in-app SDK, email, or a shareable link; responses then flow into a central dashboard for analysis.
