Formidable vs Formsite

Formidable is a cloud form builder that generates forms from natural-language descriptions. Conditional logic can show, hide, or require fields based on answers and expressions. Computed fields evaluate in real time for weighted scores, boolean outcomes, and formatted outputs. Business rules can produce approve, reject, or escalation outcomes. Users can publish hosted forms, share links, embed forms in an iframe, and receive submissions through webhooks. A JSON REST API and the open-source Forma React library support custom interfaces. Account, form, and submission data are stored in the European Union. Generation prompts may be processed by Anthropic, while submission and respondent data are not sent to AI services. The Free plan costs nothing and includes one published form, 1,000 submissions per month, conditional logic, computed fields, webhooks, analytics, and a one-time AI-token allowance. Starter costs $15 a month; Pro costs $49 a month. Submissions beyond a plan limit are not accepted until the next billing cycle unless upgraded.

Formsite is an online form builder for creating forms, surveys, questionnaires, polls, ecommerce pages, and secure data-collection sites. Its drag-and-drop builder has over 100 customizable templates and 40 question types. Forms can span multiple pages and use logic and calculations based on form fields. Users can share forms through secure links or embed them in websites; forms are responsive on desktops, tablets, and phones. Formsite supports file uploads and payment collection through PayPal, Braintree, Authorize.net, and Stripe. Listed integrations include Salesforce, Google Drive and Sheets, Dropbox, Mailchimp, Slack, Box, OneDrive, Zapier, Amazon S3, DocuSign, and Google Calendar. API access supports interaction with forms and results, and API or Server Post integration can send data to another server. Formsite says stored account data is encrypted at rest using AES-256 and secure connections use SHA-256 RSA over TLS. It states PCI 4.0 compliance and routine PCI scans, and says its servers are hosted in the United States on Amazon Web Services. The free plan has 5 forms, 10 results per form, and 50MB of file space; a 14-day trial is also listed.
