In practice

Written by AI from this repository’s README · high confidence

Collecting user feedback in product usually means a third party SaaS that holds your respondent data.

Use it when

Use it when you want targeted in product or link surveys and want the option to self host the whole stack.

Not the right pick when

Self hosting needs Docker, PostgreSQL and a Node toolchain, which is heavy if you only need a single one off form.

Capabilities

  • no-code survey editor with several question types
  • best practice survey templates
  • target surveys to user groups without changing application code
  • shareable link surveys
  • invite organization members to collaborate
  • integrations with Slack, Notion, Zapier and n8n

Requirements

  • Node.js version 18 or newer
  • Pnpm
  • Docker to run PostgreSQL and MailHog

Cost: Open source with a paid cloud option

The AGPL license requires you to publish your modified version under the AGPLv3 license as well.

The Enterprise Edition

Additional to the AGPL licensed Formbricks core, this repository contains code licensed under an Enterprise license. The code and license for the enterprise functionality can be found in the /apps/web/modules/ee folder of this repository. This additional functionality is not part of the AGPLv3 licensed Formbricks core and is designed to meet the needs of larger teams and enterprises. This advanced functionality is already included in the Docker images, but you need an Enterprise License Key to unlock it.

White-Labeling Formbricks and Other Licensing Needs

We currently do not offer Formbricks white-labeled. That means that we don't sell a license which let's other companies resell Formbricks to third parties under their name nor take parts (like the survey editor) out of Formbricks to add to their own software products. Any other needs? Send us an email.

Why charge for Enterprise Features?

The Enterprise Edition allows us to fund the development of Formbricks sustainably. It guarantees that the free and open-source surveying infrastructure we're building will be around for decades to come.
