Too many features hidden behind upgrades.
Limited branding and customization options.
Workflows lack flexibility for modern teams.

USER TESTIMONIALS
Formester is really easy to use and an exceptional alternative for Typeform. We use it for call for papers, lead registrations, feedback and surveys and it cannot be simpler.
I really enjoy Formester. It’s clean and straight-forward and it does well, what it is supposed to do.
Went through many form builders for my lead gen company and I will say it is by far the most affordable and customizable form I have found!! 10/10
Formester’s drag-and-drop functionality and pre-designed templates make creating forms extremely quick and easy. Its extensive customization options allow you to tailor forms to your needs and branding. The conditional logic, file uploads, and integrations… make Formester extremely versatile too. I was also impressed with their exceptional support.
We have been in business for over thirty years and were never happy with our forms until we found Formester. Now, we have clients actually enjoying completing and submitting online forms. If you are looking for a platform to create online forms... look no further – Formester is the best. Your clients will thank you!
Great software system. Very intuitive and looks absolutely great. Most importantly, I requested features… and the features were implemented within hours. Stellar support that is hands-down better than others. I highly suggest you use Formester… you’re not going to find that with the competition.
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.
Formester is one of the best underrated survey tools out there… It’s extremely customizable… Their support is awesome… I absolutely recommend this to anyone looking for an alternative to the usual form creators.
I use Formester for my form-building needs and I’m thoroughly impressed. The platform is rich with features… What really sets them apart is their exceptional customer service (responses typically within 10 minutes). The pricing is also very reasonable… Highly recommended!
Awesome product and amazing support from the team. Started using it a few months ago for my art business – couldn’t recommend Formester enough!
