Every European form builder reviewed
Ghent, Belgium
Free with unlimited forms and submissions / Pro EUR 20 per month / Business EUR 65 per month, two months free when paid yearly
Free plan with no time limit and no card
Best for: Anyone who wants Typeform’s job done without a monthly response cap
Tally is the tool people actually move to when they leave Typeform or Jotform, and the reason is the free plan rather than the design.
Unlimited forms and unlimited submissions under fair-use terms, with conditional logic, calculations, payments, signatures, file uploads, answer piping, password protection and integrations into Google Sheets, Notion, Airtable, Zapier, Make and webhooks — none of that is held back. The paid tiers exist to remove Tally branding, add a custom domain, capture partial submissions and open up analytics, at EUR 20 a month for Pro and EUR 65 for Business, priced per workspace rather than per seat, with unlimited team members.
The company is Tally BV, registered at Sint-Pietersnieuwstraat 11 in Ghent under Belgian enterprise number 0776.979.007, which is about as clean a European establishment as this category offers. The editor works like a document — you type, and a question appears — which is the fastest way to build a form in this list and the reason it spread by word of mouth rather than by sales.
What Tally does not do is tell you where your data is.
The privacy notice says responses sit on servers within the European Union and names neither the provider nor the region, and the only subprocessor identified by name is Cloudflare, in the United States, for bot detection on the sign-up form.
There is no ISO 27001 certificate and no published subprocessor table. For a marketing form that is fine. For a recruitment or patient form that a DPO has to sign off, it is a conversation you will have to start by email.
What Tally does well
- Unlimited forms and submissions on the free plan, which is the specific limit people leave Typeform over
- Belgian company with a named registered office and enterprise number in Ghent
- Priced per workspace, not per seat: unlimited team members on Pro at EUR 20 a month
- Logic, calculations, payments, signatures and file uploads all available without paying
- Document-style editor that is genuinely faster than dragging fields onto a canvas
Where Tally falls short
- Says "within the European Union" and never names a data centre or hosting provider
- No ISO 27001 or SOC 2, and no published subprocessor list
- Cloudflare, a US company, handles bot detection on sign-up
- Data retention controls sit on the EUR 65 Business plan rather than in the base product
- No self-hosting option at any price
Standout feature. A free tier with no response ceiling. Every American competitor meters submissions per month, and metering is the reason most people are shopping in the first place.
Kiel, Germany
Free Hobby plan with 250 responses a month / Pro USD 74 per month / Scale USD 325 per month; self-hosting is free under AGPLv3
Free Hobby plan, plus 14 days of Pro features without a card
Best for: Teams that want the code, the licence and the data centre all named
Formbricks is the most transparent vendor on this page, and that is the whole case for it.
The core is AGPLv3 on GitHub, the cloud runs on AWS in Germany, and the privacy policy publishes an actual subprocessor table with countries attached: AWS in Germany for database and email, PostHog EU and Sentry in Germany, Brevo in the EU, Google Cloud in the EU for opt-in smart features, Stripe in the United States for payments, Plain in the UK for support and Cloudflare globally for CDN.
You can read that table and write your transfer assessment from it, which is not true of most tools here.
The product itself leans further towards in-product surveys than classic web forms. Link surveys, website and app surveys via iOS and Android SDKs, conditional logic, file uploads, quotas and a full API are all there; the free Hobby plan allows 250 responses a month, Pro is USD 74 a month for 2,000 responses across three workspaces, and Scale is USD 325 for 5,000 across five. Self-hosting with Docker removes the response ceiling entirely.
Formbricks GmbH is at Kuhnkestrasse 6 in Kiel. The catch to read before committing is the enterprise edition: teams and access roles, two-factor authentication, quota management and workflows live in a separate licensed module outside the AGPL, so a self-hosted deployment that needs role-based access still needs an enterprise key. Calling the product "open source" without that caveat will cause an argument later.
What Formbricks does well
- AGPLv3 core with a public repository and documented Docker self-hosting
- Names AWS in Germany for form and user data, in writing
- Publishes a subprocessor table with a country against every entry
- Free Hobby plan, and no response limit at all when self-hosted
- German GmbH with a full street address in Kiel
Where Formbricks falls short
- Teams, access roles, 2FA and quota management sit in a paid enterprise edition outside the AGPL
- Cloud pricing jumps hard: USD 74 to USD 325 a month between Pro and Scale
- Priced and built around response volume, which punishes a successful campaign
- Oriented to product and in-app surveys more than to public-facing web forms
- No ISO 27001 certificate, only self-published documentation
Standout feature. It is the only tool here that names its data centre, its subprocessors and its licence in three separate public documents you can quote back at it.
Netherlands
Founded 2014
WordPress plugin USD 99 a year for one site, USD 349 for five, USD 799 unlimited; SDK licences from EUR 75 a month for the runner and EUR 325 for the builder; Studio has a free tier with a paid unlock
Free tier in all three products
Best for: Organisations whose responses must never reach a form vendor at all
Tripetto sells the same form engine three ways, and the difference between them is who ends up holding the data.
The WordPress plugin stores everything inside your own WordPress installation — the vendor’s own wording is that nothing ever touches any other platform unless you choose it to. The FormBuilder SDK embeds the builder and the runner in your own React, Angular or plain JavaScript application, where submissions never reach Tripetto’s servers. Only Tripetto Studio, the hosted option at tripetto.app, puts responses in Tripetto’s cloud.
That makes it the practical answer for a Dutch municipality, a clinic or a bank that cannot add a processor for a form but already runs WordPress.
The engine is strong in its own right: conversational, chat and classic form layouts from the same definition, a deep branching logic model with conditions and calculations, and question types that go well past the usual set.
Licences are per site rather than per response — USD 99 a year for one WordPress site, USD 349 for five, USD 799 for unlimited — and the SDK is licensed from EUR 75 a month for the runner and EUR 325 a month for the builder.
The company is Tripetto B.V., trading under Dutch law with a Dutch support line, and the licence agreement carries a copyright line running from 2014.
What it does not have is a published imprint page, a named registered office, a stated hosting location for Studio or any security certification, which is an odd gap for a product whose entire pitch is data sovereignty. The other gap is scope: the WordPress product is only useful if you run WordPress, and the SDK is only useful if you have developers.
What Tripetto does well
- WordPress plugin keeps every submission inside your own database
- SDK runs the builder and the runner entirely inside your own application
- Licensed per site or per application, not per response
- Conversational, chat and classic layouts generated from one form definition
- Dutch B.V. operating under Dutch law, with a Dutch support number
Where Tripetto falls short
- No imprint, no registered address and no stated hosting location for the hosted Studio product
- No ISO 27001 or other external certification
- The strongest option requires you to be running WordPress already
- The SDK needs developers and starts at EUR 325 a month for the builder licence
- Studio pricing is not readable as a plain figure on the pricing page
Standout feature. It is the only tool in this category that can be deployed with no form vendor in the data path at all — not self-hosted software, but your existing WordPress database.
Wassenaar, Netherlands
Founded 2000
Standard from EUR 65 a year, Business from EUR 1,170 a year, both excluding VAT; extra features EUR 110 a year on Standard
Free three-month trial, non-renewable
Best for: Dutch public bodies, universities and healthcare organisations with a procurement checklist
Formdesk is the least fashionable tool on this page and the one most likely to survive a security review.
It is operated by Innovero Software Solutions B.V. at Rijksstraatweg 713 in Wassenaar, has been running since 2000, holds ISO 27001 and NEN 7510 — the Dutch information security standard written for healthcare — and states plainly that all data is hosted in the Netherlands and that none of the collected data leaves the EU. The customer logos are the tell: Leiden University, UMC Utrecht, the Ministry of the Interior, Randstad, the Province of Limburg.
The pricing is unusual and, for a small organisation, unusually cheap. Standard starts at EUR 65 a year rather than per month, with additional feature packs at EUR 110 a year, and Business starts at EUR 1,170 a year with an SLA and a named account manager. There is a free three-month trial, non-renewable. The feature set is deep in the places Dutch institutions need — payments, iDEAL, complex validation, multi-step workflows, exports — rather than in template galleries.
The cost of all this is the experience. The interface is a product of a company that has been building the same thing for twenty-five years and it looks and behaves that way; building a form takes longer than in Tally and the result will not win a design award. The ecosystem is Dutch, the documentation is strongest in Dutch, and there is no self-hosting option, no open source code and no meaningful presence outside the Netherlands and Belgium.
What Formdesk does well
- ISO 27001 and NEN 7510, the two certificates Dutch healthcare and government procurement ask for by name
- All data hosted in the Netherlands, with a written guarantee that none leaves the EU
- Operating since 2000 under a named B.V. with a full address in Wassenaar
- From EUR 65 a year, which is an order of magnitude below the monthly-billed competition
- Deep validation, payment and workflow features aimed at institutional forms
Where Formdesk falls short
- The interface is dated and slower to work in than anything else here
- Effectively a Dutch-market product; documentation and support are strongest in Dutch
- No self-hosting and no open source code
- Business plan jumps to EUR 1,170 a year for the SLA and account manager
- Feature packs are charged separately on the Standard plan at EUR 110 a year
Standout feature. Two audited certificates, twenty-five years of operation and a written promise that data stays in the Netherlands — the only entry here that clears a public-sector procurement form without a follow-up email.
Vienna, Austria
Free plan with 50 submissions a month / Start USD 29, Grow USD 69, Scale USD 139 per month billed yearly (USD 49, 99 and 199 monthly) / Enterprise from USD 499
Free plan; 14-day trial of paid features, billing details required
Best for: Marketing teams building quizzes, calculators and lead funnels rather than plain forms
involve.me is built by stereosense GmbH at Gußhausstraße 15/8 in Vienna, registered at the Vienna commercial court under FN 461219p, and it hosts on AWS in Frankfurt — a combination of Austrian establishment and a named German region that most tools in this category do not manage.
The product is a funnel builder more than a form builder: quizzes with scored outcomes, price and ROI calculators, product finders, payment forms and personalised result pages, with the answers feeding straight into segmentation.
Pricing is per account and tiered by volume: a free plan with 50 submissions or 500 visits a month, then Start at USD 29 a month billed annually, Grow at USD 69, Scale at USD 139, and Enterprise from USD 499. Monthly billing costs considerably more — USD 49, 99 and 199 respectively. The 14-day trial of paid features requires billing details up front, which is worth knowing before you start it.
It is a poor fit for the plain jobs. A contact form or a job application built in involve.me is an expensive way to do something Tally does free, and the interface assumes you are building a multi-step experience with logic and outcomes. There is no ISO 27001 certificate, no published subprocessor list, no self-hosting and no open source code, so the security story ends at "AWS Frankfurt" and the Austrian imprint.
What involve.me does well
- Austrian GmbH with a registered address and court register number in Vienna
- Names AWS in Frankfurt as the hosting region
- Quizzes, calculators and scored outcomes that plain form builders cannot produce
- Payments, partial submissions and personalised result pages built in
- Free plan for evaluating the builder before committing
Where involve.me falls short
- Metered by submissions and visits, so the free plan runs out at 50 responses a month
- Monthly billing is roughly 70 per cent more expensive than annual
- The 14-day trial asks for billing details before it starts
- No certification, no subprocessor list, no self-hosting and no open source code
- Overkill and overpriced for a straightforward contact or registration form
Standout feature. It is the only European tool here that treats the form as an interactive funnel — scored quizzes and calculators with branching result pages — rather than as a set of fields to be submitted.
France
Free Personal plan / Starter USD 39 a month / Pro USD 89 a month, extra chats USD 10 per 500; self-hosting allowed under the Functional Source License
Free Personal plan
Best for: Conversational forms and chat-style onboarding flows built by developers
Typebot turns a form into a conversation: questions arrive one at a time in a chat window, branch on the answers, call APIs mid-flow, and can hand off to a language model. It is operated by Typebot SASU, a French company, and the builder is a genuinely good piece of software — a visual flow editor with variables, conditions and integrations that developers tend to like more than marketers do.
Pricing is a free Personal plan, Starter at USD 39 a month and Pro at USD 89, with extra chats at USD 10 per 500. A chat, not a submission, is the billing unit, which means an abandoned conversation still costs you. Self-hosting is permitted under the Functional Source License, a source-available licence that is not OSI-approved open source and should not be presented as such in a tender; the code is on GitHub and Docker deployment is documented.
The hosting story is where this entry earns its ranking and no higher.
The privacy policy says processing takes place primarily in the UK and the European Economic Area, and then names the production providers: Vercel, PlanetScale, AWS S3 and SES, Cloudflare, Stripe, Sentry, PostHog and Brevo. Every one of those is a US-owned company. This is a French vendor on American infrastructure, which is a legitimate arrangement and a different one from Formbricks naming AWS in Germany. If your reason for switching is jurisdiction rather than product, self-host it.
What Typebot does well
- French SASU, with self-hosting available and documented
- Conversational flow builder with variables, conditions and mid-flow API calls
- Free Personal plan, and a free self-hosted deployment for those who want it
- Native language model integration for open-ended questions
- Active public repository with more than ten thousand stars
Where Typebot falls short
- Named infrastructure is entirely US-owned: Vercel, PlanetScale, AWS, Cloudflare
- Functional Source License is source-available, not OSI open source
- Billed per chat, so abandoned conversations consume quota
- No registered address, no certification and no data centre named
- Conversational format is a bad fit for long forms where people want to see all fields
Standout feature. The best conversational form builder in Europe, undermined by an infrastructure list on which no European provider appears — which is exactly why self-hosting is the version worth having.
Neuilly-sur-Seine, France
Free plan with unlimited forms and submissions / Pro USD 25 a month billed yearly (USD 29 monthly) / Business USD 67 (USD 79) / Enterprise USD 220 (USD 250); self-hosted Community Edition free for two users, enterprise licence USD 1,999 a year per instance
Free plan on the cloud, free Community Edition when self-hosted
Best for: Developers who want an AGPLv3 form builder they can run themselves
OpnForm is an AGPLv3 form builder operated by JhumanJ SAS in Neuilly-sur-Seine.
The hosted free plan is generous by the standards of this category — unlimited forms and unlimited submissions with required OpnForm branding, form logic, computed fields, pre-fills and full API access — and the paid tiers add branding removal, custom domains, custom SMTP, password protection, captcha, form expiry and analytics at USD 25 a month billed yearly, USD 67 for Business and USD 220 for Enterprise. Monthly billing is about 15 per cent more.
The self-hosted route is the interesting one. The Community Edition is free but capped at two users, and unlocking multi-user access, SSO, audit logs, white labelling and advanced integrations on your own server costs USD 1,999 a year per instance. That is a clear, published number, which is more than most open-core vendors offer, but it does mean "free and open source" describes a two-person deployment rather than an organisational one.
The gap is the privacy policy, and it is a serious one for this directory. It states that information may be transferred to third parties located throughout the world and may be viewed and hosted anywhere in the world, including countries without general data protection law, and it names no provider, no region and no subprocessor. A French SAS that will not say where the servers are is a French SAS you host yourself.
What OpnForm does well
- AGPLv3 core with a public repository and documented self-hosting
- Free cloud plan with unlimited forms and unlimited submissions
- French SAS named in the terms with a registered municipality
- Self-hosted enterprise licence published as a flat USD 1,999 a year per instance
- Slack, Discord, Telegram and webhook notifications on the paid plans
Where OpnForm falls short
- Privacy policy says data may be hosted anywhere in the world and names no provider
- Free Community Edition is limited to two users
- Captcha, custom domains and password protection are all paid features
- No certification and no subprocessor list
- Enterprise features sit outside the AGPL under a separate licence
Standout feature. A published, flat self-hosting price — USD 1,999 a year per instance for the full enterprise feature set — where comparable vendors send you to a sales call.
Paris, France
Free registered account; paid plans on the cryptpad.fr flagship instance run from EUR 5 to EUR 100 a month; self-hosting is free under AGPLv3
Free account, and an anonymous session without an account
Best for: Whistleblowing channels, ethics reports and any form where the host must not be able to read the answers
CryptPad Forms is part of the CryptPad suite built by XWiki SAS in Paris, released under AGPLv3 and supported since 2016 by French and European research grants.
The distinguishing property is not hosting but encryption: form content and responses are encrypted in the browser before they reach the server, so the operator — XWiki on the cryptpad.fr flagship instance, or your own administrator on your own installation — stores ciphertext. The hosting question, which occupies every other entry on this page, simply does not arise in the same form.
The Forms application itself is competent rather than rich: multiple question types, conditional sections, anonymous or authenticated responses, a results view and CSV export, alongside the rest of the suite — documents, spreadsheets, kanban, whiteboard — under the same encryption. A free registered account gets you started, paid plans on cryptpad.fr run from EUR 5 to EUR 100 a month for more storage and priority support, and self-hosting costs nothing but a server.
What you give up is everything that depends on a server being able to read your data. There is no CRM integration worth the name, no automated routing, no third-party analytics and no ecosystem of connectors. Form design is plain. And practically, encryption moves the risk to key handling: lose the link and the credentials and nobody, XWiki included, can recover the responses. That is the point, and it is also the failure mode.
What CryptPad Forms does well
- End-to-end encryption: the server holds ciphertext, not answers
- AGPLv3, self-hostable in full, with no seat charge
- Built by XWiki SAS in Paris, with public research-grant funding since 2016
- Free registered account, and paid plans from EUR 5 a month
- Forms sit inside a wider encrypted suite of documents, sheets and boards
Where CryptPad Forms falls short
- Almost no integrations, because encryption prevents them
- Plain form design with no theming to speak of
- The flagship instance’s hosting location is not stated anywhere
- Lost keys mean permanently lost responses, with no recovery path
- Smaller question-type set than any dedicated form builder here
Standout feature. The only form builder in this directory where the operator cannot read the submissions — which turns the data residency question from a legal assessment into a mathematical one.
Avignon, France
Founded 2011
Smart EUR 15 per user per month billed yearly (EUR 22 monthly), Business EUR 25 (EUR 37 monthly)
15 days, full features, up to ten users, no card
Best for: Field teams filling in inspections on a phone with no signal
Kizeo Forms is a mobile data collection tool from Kizeo SAS, a French company at 55 Allée Camille Claudel in Avignon, registered with the Avignon trade register under number 537 845 836 and operating since 2011.
The job it does is offline capture: an inspection, a delivery note, a safety check or a site report filled in on iOS or Android with photos, signatures, barcodes and GPS, syncing when the device gets back into coverage, and coming out the other side as a branded PDF or Word report and a row in a BI tool.
Pricing is strictly per user: EUR 15 per user per month on Smart billed annually, EUR 22 monthly, and EUR 25 on Business billed annually against EUR 37 monthly. Business adds native integrations with over 200 applications, advanced reporting and AI photo and voice input.
There is a 15-day trial with full features, no card and up to ten users. One constraint worth catching early: every user in an account must be on the same plan, so you cannot put two power users on Business and the rest on Smart.
The data story is European but only partly specific. The pricing page lists data hosted in Europe as a feature, and the legal notice names Google Cloud in Paris as the host for the site.
There is no ISO 27001 certificate published, no subprocessor table, and no self-hosting. The other thing to understand before buying is scope: this is a tool for named employees in the field, not a public web form builder, and using it as one would be an expensive mistake.
What Kizeo Forms does well
- Genuine offline capture on iOS and Android with sync on reconnection
- French SAS with a full address, share capital and Avignon register number
- Photos, signatures, barcodes and GPS as first-class field types
- Generates branded PDF and Word reports automatically from submissions
- 15-day trial with all features, ten users and no card
Where Kizeo Forms falls short
- Priced per user, and every user in an account must share the same plan
- Not a public web form builder; the model assumes named employees
- Says "hosted in Europe" without naming the data centre for customer data
- No ISO 27001 certificate published and no subprocessor list
- No self-hosting and no open source code
Standout feature. It is built for the van and the roof rather than the browser: forms keep working with no signal and arrive as finished PDF reports, which no web-first tool in this list attempts.
Rotterdam, Netherlands
Founded 2013
Branch EUR 174 a month with 8,400 submissions a year, Tree EUR 585 with 30,000, Forest on request; extra submissions EUR 0.40 each, EUR 0.10 on Forest; unlimited users on every plan
14 days with 75 submissions, no card
Best for: Field crews where the headcount changes and the submission volume does not
MoreApp does the same job as Kizeo Forms — offline mobile forms for field work, with 35-plus field types, conditional logic, branded Word, Excel and PDF reports, task management and integrations through the API, webhooks, Zapier, Make and Power Automate — and prices it the opposite way round.
There is no per-seat charge at all. Branch is EUR 174 a month for 8,400 submissions a year, Tree is EUR 585 for 30,000 and adds custom roles and permissions, and Forest is quoted on request; extra submissions are EUR 0.40 each, or EUR 0.10 on Forest.
That inversion decides who it suits. A crew of forty filling in a handful of forms each is dramatically cheaper here than on a per-user tool; a team of three filling in hundreds of forms a day is cheaper elsewhere. Work out your annual submission count before comparing, because that number is the whole negotiation.
On the European question, MoreApp is among the most specific tools in this directory.
The company operates from Stationsplein 45 in Rotterdam under Chamber of Commerce number 85743577, with offices in Berlin, Barcelona and Nantes, and the privacy policy names Google Cloud in Eemshaven and MongoDB Atlas in Eemshaven for hosting and backup, with Hubspot on AWS in the EU for support.
It holds ISO 27001. The two American exceptions are named too: Mailchimp on AWS in the United States for the newsletter, which is a marketing system rather than a form data path. What is missing is the legal form — the privacy policy says "MoreApp" without a B.V. suffix, which is a small but real gap.
What MoreApp does well
- Unlimited users on every plan, with submission volume as the only meter
- Names Google Cloud and MongoDB Atlas in Eemshaven for hosting and backup
- ISO 27001 certified, with the certificate published
- Offline capture on iOS and Android with branded Word, Excel and PDF output
- Rotterdam address and Chamber of Commerce number stated in the privacy policy
Where MoreApp falls short
- Entry price of EUR 174 a month is high for a small team
- Overage at EUR 0.40 per extra submission punishes an underestimated forecast
- Single sign-on is a EUR 250 a month add-on on the Tree plan
- The legal entity is written as "MoreApp" with no company form given
- Field-focused; not a replacement for a public web form builder
Standout feature. Unlimited users on every plan, with Eemshaven named as the location of both the database and the backups — a combination no per-seat competitor in this category offers.
Berlin, Germany
Base EUR 47.59, Grow EUR 147.84, Expand EUR 297.36 and Scale EUR 969 per month, net
14 days free
Best for: Mobile-first lead funnels for recruiting and performance marketing
Perspective is operated by Perspective Software GmbH, registered at Müggelstraße 22 in Berlin under HRB 197136 at Berlin-Charlottenburg, and it builds mobile lead funnels rather than forms in the ordinary sense: a swipeable sequence of questions on a phone, ending in a booked call, an application or a purchase. It is heavily used in German recruiting, where the funnel replaces a job application form and the applicant answers six questions with a thumb.
The pricing is at the top of this category and quoted net: Base at EUR 47.59 a month for two live funnels, Grow at EUR 147.84 for ten with A/B testing and automation sequences, Expand at EUR 297.36 for twenty with white labelling and WhatsApp messaging, and Scale at EUR 969 for sixty or more.
There is a 14-day free trial. If your need is a form, this is the wrong tool at ten times the price; if your need is conversion on mobile with CRM and messaging attached, the price is arguable.
The gap is disclosure. The privacy policy lists the subprocessors behind the company’s own website and operations — Google and Intercom in Dublin, Hotjar in Malta, ActiveCampaign, Microsoft, Webflow and Greenhouse in the United States — and even flags that data held on European servers at one US vendor may still be accessible from the United States.
What it does not do anywhere is say where customer funnel data is stored. For a Berlin GmbH selling to German recruiters, that omission is conspicuous.
What Perspective does well
- German GmbH with a Berlin address, managing director and HRB number published
- Mobile funnel format that converts better than a standard form on a phone
- Built-in CRM, automation sequences, A/B testing and WhatsApp messaging
- White labelling from the EUR 297.36 Expand plan
- 14-day free trial with no payment up front
Where Perspective falls short
- Does not state where customer funnel data is hosted
- Entry price of EUR 47.59 a month net for two live funnels
- Several named subprocessors are US companies, with a US access caveat stated in the policy
- Funnel-shaped by design: a poor fit for a long form or a document-style questionnaire
- No certification, no self-hosting and no open source code
Standout feature. It is the only entry here designed for the thumb rather than the cursor — a funnel format that measurably outperforms a standard form on mobile, which is why German recruiters use it in place of an application page.
