Formbricks

Formbricks is a German open-source experience management platform founded in 2022 that enables teams to gather user and customer insights through targeted surveys delivered at every touchpoint. Headquartered in Hamburg, Formbricks positions itself as a privacy-first, open-source alternative to proprietary survey tools like SurveyMonkey and experience platforms like Qualtrics. The platform is built on the largest open-source survey stack worldwide and is licensed under AGPLv3.

Formbricks supports multiple survey delivery channels including in-app surveys triggered by user behavior, website surveys shown to visitors based on targeting rules, link surveys shared via URL, and email surveys. The no-code editor makes it easy to design surveys without developer involvement, while the API and webhook system provide flexibility for technical teams. Formbricks integrates with popular tools and offers advanced user targeting that lets teams show the right survey to the right person at exactly the right moment in their product journey.

The platform can be self-hosted for complete data control or used through the managed cloud service hosted in Germany with full GDPR and CCPA compliance. The self-hosted Community Edition is fully functional and free for both personal and commercial use, including all core survey types and delivery channels. Formbricks offers a compelling European alternative for teams that want to understand their users without compromising on privacy or sending behavioral data to US-based analytics providers.
