FORMNA vs IMPACTr

FORMNA is a self-hosted form builder and program management platform for handling forms, submissions, review workflows, and reports. Its drag-and-drop builder supports 15 field types, conditional logic, validation, file uploads, draft auto-save, and version management. Programs can group forms with deadlines, submission rules, instructions, eligibility requirements, and custom permissions. Multi-stage reviews can assign reviewers, apply weighted scoring, request clarification, and record approve, reject, or advance decisions. Four roles—Super Admin, Admin, Reviewer, and User—have scoped permissions and tailored dashboards. Security features include TOTP multifactor authentication, encrypted data at rest, rate limiting, and session invalidation; the system logs actions with who, what, and when. Optional AI summaries use a configurable LLM provider while data remains on the organization's servers. Installation is documented for Docker or bare metal and requires PHP 8.2+, MySQL 8.0+ or MariaDB 10.6+, and Apache or Nginx. The open-source plan is free for qualifying organizations; specified commercial uses require licensing. Enterprise Annual License costs $25,000 per year.

IMPACTr is an ERP and digital ecosystem for nonprofit organizations and social action. It centralizes project and activity information across stages, supports task management, and lets organizations plan budgets while tracking funding, income, expenses, and project budgets by program, project, and activity. Users can define impact indicators, follow beneficiaries and project outcomes through progress reports, and automatically create shareable activity reports or customized reports for funders.

IMPACTr says it can connect with any digital tool or program an institution uses to exchange information and reduce duplicate work.
