Typebot

The conversational format, open source, with real branching.

91
sovereignty

Typebot is the closest match to what people actually pay Typeform for: conversational forms built on a visual flow canvas, with branching, conditional logic, variables and integrations. Because it is a flow builder rather than a question list, complex branching is easier to construct here than in Typeform. Self-hostable with Docker and available as a paid cloud. It is the pick when the conversational feel is the thing you are buying and you would rather not buy it per response.

What it does well

  • +Closest replication of the Typeform conversational experience
  • +Flow-canvas builder handles complex branching better than Typeform
  • +Variables, conditions and integrations built in
  • +Self-hosts on Docker; no per-response charge

Where it falls short

  • AGPL-3.0 strong copyleft — read it before modifying and redistributing
  • Smaller community than Formbricks
  • Fewer templates and prebuilt integrations
  • Self-hosting is your responsibility to run and update
