What you give up vs Google Forms
- Some advanced targeting, SSO/SAML, and access roles are gated behind a paid Enterprise Edition license
- In-app/website survey focus means it is less of a pure pixel-perfect form builder than Typeform
- Conversational/one-question-at-a-time UX is less polished than Typeform's signature flow
- Fewer prebuilt third-party integrations than mature SaaS competitors
What you gain
- • Full data ownership — self-host Formbricks on your own infrastructure.
- • No per-seat SaaS bill (Google Forms: data on Google and limited design).
- • Open-source code you can audit and extend (AGPL-3.0).
