Shreyas Mecheri Associate Director Chose Formstack Forms Wufoo and Formstack are very similar - almost as if they were built by the same company or ex-employees.

Verified User Anonymous Chose Formstack Forms I found Blackbaud NetCommunity to have a much steeper learning curve, and to be fairly expensive. I opted to use Formstack instead, which meant exporting/importing data with some regularity. Incentivized Helpful? Patrick Stephens Director Of Communications Chose Formstack Forms Formstack just had more versatility. We had to start in a rush and they gave us what we needed to hit the ground running.

Brett Doucette, ABC, MBA Digital Marketing Manager Chose Formstack Forms I am not aware of other competitors out there to FormStack other than modules or plug-ins deployed on WordPress or Drupal built sites.

User Testimonials
	Engagement Survey	Formstack Forms
Likelihood to Recommend	No answers on this topic	Formstack makes it easy to create a variety of forms. I have used it for event interest and registrations, email list sign-ups, and surveys. I have found it easy to customize, and easy to export data for import into other systems (e.g., CRM). Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	No answers on this topic	Formstack allowed us to customize the look and feel of our forms to match our branding. It was easy for our engineers to integrate the forms within our onboarding process to deliver a seamless experience. Formstack integrates well with HubSpot, our marketing automation platform of choice. Formstack offered us a lot of flexibility in the types/formats of questions we could deploy (open-ended text, multi-choice, single choice, etc.). This made it easy to get data the way we wanted and facilitated getting that data into HubSpot. Incentivized Josh Summerhays Marketing Director Read full review
Cons	No answers on this topic	Buggy Updates: Formstack tends to make on-the-fly updates that break features. We run into this about once a year Appearance: the forms are starting to look dated compared to some of the competitors (looking at you, Typeform) Dynamic Data: passing data from one field to another is not-exactly doable Paid Add-Ons: the price for Formstack is already an arm and a leg; the fact that they have additional monthly paid add-ons is frustrating User Limits: user accounts barely do anything outside of 'view/edit' permissions, thus the low volume allocated seems a bit greedy at $10/user/mo for more Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	No answers on this topic	Our user base has come to rely on Formstack to get forms done. The Formstack tools make it easy to start from scratch or copy an existing form to "quick start" a new, similar form. The price is right and frees up IT staff to do more transformative work. Incentivized Tim Roe Project Manager, Web Services Read full review
Usability	No answers on this topic	I give it this rating because Ali feel like just about anyone can use this. Now with 7 billion people in the work I understand that’s not the case but I feel like Formstack get it pretty simple where a majority of humans could use it and navigate through. The only reason I didn’t give it a higher rating is because I think Google Forms is a little easier to use and that it’s pretty much impossible for any product to get a 10 on usability in my opinion. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Support Rating	No answers on this topic	Formstack has awesome support! They are always quick to respond and genuinely care for their clients' success. They will work with you to find a solution or let developers know about your feature request. There are a few things on the feature request forum that I wish they would implement sooner, but I am at least grateful that they give clients a space to voice their ideas and take them into consideration. Incentivized Cassie Dull Assistant Director of Communications, Online Read full review
Implementation Rating	No answers on this topic	We implemented on one of the earlier versions. Through continuous engineering improvements, the interface keeps getting easier and more intuitive. Therefore, later implementations keep getting easier and better. Incentivized Mitchel Laman Consultant Read full review
Alternatives Considered	No answers on this topic	Formstack just had more versatility. We had to start in a rush and they gave us what we needed to hit the ground running. They didn't delay or bog us down with complicated sales pitches, and didn't leave us in the dark on what to do. We didn't need to google how to use the program! Incentivized Patrick Stephens Director Of Communications Read full review
Return on Investment	No answers on this topic	Positive - ability to analyze submission trends - e.g. when a marketing email is sent, looking at increased form viewing and submissions in relation to the sending of the campaign. Immediate response - those that submit forms receive immediate response that their form has been submitted. Incentivized Ryan Spear Associate Director of Admission Operations Read full review
