Endatix

Endatix is a form and survey management platform for teams that want to control where their data lives. It is best suited to organizations with technical capacity and specific deployment or data-handling needs. Its strongest case is flexibility; its main trade-off is the $360-per-month starting price for managed service.

Overview

Endatix combines a visual form builder with response management, automation and exports. Teams can run it on their own infrastructure or choose a hosted service, trading operational control for a managed deployment.

Responses can be anonymous or authenticated. Respondents can resume partial submissions, and teams can revise forms without breaking existing submissions. Pre-filled forms can draw on historical response records or third-party integrations, which suits workflows where people need to update information rather than start anew.

Key features

The SurveyJS-based drag-and-drop builder supports more than 20 question types, conditional logic, validation, custom question types, themes and multiple languages. That range supports varied workflows, while the ability to define custom questions and logic gives teams room to tailor forms. Webhooks can trigger notifications and follow-up actions, including sending data to CRM systems and chat apps.

Submissions and codebooks export to CSV, XLSX, XML and PDF, useful for teams that need data in several downstream formats. Storage integrations include Azure Blob Storage, Amazon S3 and self-hosted RustFS, along with other S3-compatible providers. Built-in email options include Mailgun, SendGrid and SMTP; single sign-on can use Keycloak or OAuth 2.0 providers.

Files are private by default and accessed through short-lived signed URLs after permission checks. Read SAS URLs expire after 15 minutes and write URLs after 180 seconds, a concrete safeguard for file workflows. Endatix also supports file uploads and electronic signatures.

Pricing

Endatix Headless API costs nothing and is MIT licensed, always free and self-hosted. It is the clearest fit for teams that want the API and can operate it themselves; it does not provide a managed tenant.

Hosted / Endatix Cloud starts at $360 a month, billed monthly, with no commitment required. It includes a managed Endatix Hub tenant or dedicated instance, with contact for pricing. This avoids running the service yourself, but the starting price places it beyond the needs of many small teams.

Endatix Hub is a full-featured form management platform with a perpetual license and 12 months of updates and support. It has custom pricing based on the number and type of environments, so it suits organizations that need an on-premises or other environment-specific deployment and can budget for a tailored license.

Endatix’s free route is self-hosted rather than a low-cost hosted tier. The Hub license’s 12-month support and update term is worth weighing alongside its perpetual license.

Platforms

Endatix supports API, Linux, macOS, self-hosted, web and Windows. It can run natively or in Docker on Linux, Windows Server and macOS, and deploy on Azure, AWS, GCP or on-premises infrastructure. That makes it a strong fit for teams with infrastructure requirements; those seeking a simple hosted-only form tool may not need this breadth.

Who it's for

Endatix is aimed at organizations in healthcare, legal, insurance, finance, education, government, market research, nonprofits and field services. Its deployment options and data controls are most compelling for teams that need control over infrastructure and response handling. Remote or on-site end-user training covers form building, submissions, workflows, roles and reporting, which can help teams adopting a broad platform.

Pros and cons

Pros: Self-hosted API is free and MIT licensed, giving technically capable teams a no-cost way to run the API on infrastructure they control.

Pros: Resumable partial submissions, form versioning and pre-filled forms support ongoing workflows without forcing respondents to start over.

Pros: Multiple storage, email and identity integrations, plus several export formats, give teams choices for connecting the platform to existing systems.

Cons: Managed Endatix Cloud starts at $360 a month, a substantial starting cost for teams that do not need dedicated or managed deployment.

Cons: Self-hosting provides control but means the team must run the deployment; the free API is not the managed service.

Cons: Hub pricing depends on environment count and type, making it harder to budget without a custom quote.

Alternatives

For a different deployment and pricing profile, consider Form.io: its SaaS plan is $300 a month, with a project that downgrades to read-only after the trial. Teams prioritizing a lower listed SaaS starting price may prefer it, while Endatix offers a free self-hosted API and on-premises deployment choices.

Paperform is another freemium option with a free plan for individuals and small teams, capped at 30 submissions per month and three signed documents. It may suit a small team whose needs fit those limits.

For a free option with a stated form and response cap, Forminit allows one form and 100 submissions per month on its free plan. Formsite may fit teams that need up to five forms and 10 results per form on a free plan. Basin offers a free plan for one form, 50 submissions per month and 30-day data retention.

forms.app offers a free plan with five forms, 10 MB file storage and unlimited responses and team members, making it worth considering when those limits match the workflow. Orbeon Forms has a free open-source Community Edition with Form Builder, Form Runner and form processor (XForms). FormTitan is a paid option with a Document Studio Starter plan starting at $150 a month for document generation or eSignature workflows, native Salesforce integration and Microsoft Add-Ins.

Verdict

Choose Endatix if your organization needs control over form data and deployment, and has the technical capacity or budget to support that choice. Its free self-hosted API, broad integrations and on-premises options are the strongest reasons to consider it. Look elsewhere if you need an inexpensive managed form service: Endatix Cloud starts at $360 a month, while Hub requires custom pricing.
