I really enjoy Formester. It’s clean and straight-forward and it does well, what it is supposed to do.
Thibaud Martinez Organiser tedx-logo
Formester is simple enough for non-developers and sophisticated enough for developers. I'd say being able to choose between simplicity and complexity is one of this product's strengths. In addition, the founder is available to answer questions and doubts, which does not happen every day.
