What you give up vs Jotform
- No built-in form builder; developers must write their own HTML forms
- Limited response analytics compared to full-featured form platforms
- Community self-hosted version lacks some features of the commercial cloud product
What you gain
- • Full data ownership — self-host Getform on your own infrastructure.
- • No per-seat SaaS bill (Jotform: submission caps on paid tiers).
- • Open-source code you can audit and extend (MIT).
