Form.io
Open-source form and data management platform with drag-and-drop builder and REST API
Overview
Form.io is a combined form builder and data management platform that provides a drag-and-drop form designer alongside auto-generated REST APIs for every form. It supports complex field types including nested forms, data grids, and conditional logic, and ships with SDKs for Angular, React, and Vue. The community edition is fully self-hostable with Node.js and MongoDB, making it suitable for enterprise applications that need programmatic form management.
Where it falls short of Typeform
- Advanced enterprise features (PDF forms, multi-tenancy, SSO) locked behind paid plans
- Requires MongoDB; not suitable for SQL-only environments
- Documentation for self-hosted setup is less polished than hosted offering
We list the gaps honestly so you can decide if the trade-off is worth owning your data.
