Formbricks
Top pickSelf-hosted surveys built for privacy-first teams.
Formbricks is an open survey and experience platform designed to be self-hosted: link surveys, in-app surveys triggered by user behaviour, and website surveys, with responses resting on your own infrastructure. That last point is the reason to choose it — for GDPR-sensitive work, form responses never leaving your servers turns a compliance conversation into a non-event. Around 12.7k stars, actively developed, with a paid cloud for teams who would rather not host. The licence is an open core with some enterprise features commercially licensed, so check which side of the line the feature you need falls on.

- +Modern interface and active development
Where it falls short
- −Some enterprise features are commercially licensed
- −You now run a service, with the upgrades and backups that implies
- −Smaller integration catalogue than Typeform
- −Conversational polish is close but not identical
