Deftform Reviews

To the point...

The Good

- Super flexible styling: Tweak presets or roll your own styles. Extra stylesheets/scripts give you full control.
- Easy to use: The whole builder is super simple — even I got it fast.
- Layout power: Different element widths make it more than a basic form tool.
- Solid overall UX: Clean, fast, and fun to work with.

The Bad

- Small bugs here and there — nothing major, more like nitpicks.

The Wishes

- Button controls:- Choose alignment (left/center/right) without custom CSS
- Adjust button size via UI

- Text spacing:- Paragraph/Text padding is a bit large → add small adjustment options (like the page width presets)

- Lists in paragraphs:- List indentation is good, but spacing above a list (e.g., after a heading) gets too big → need a spacer that can increase and decrease gaps

- Editing long text:- Paragraph/Text fields should allow scrolling and/or resizing when content exceeds the visible area (HTML elements already behave better here)

- Headings:- Make H1 a few sizes larger by default

- Payments:- Direct PayPal integration would be fantastic

- Integrations:- MailerLite, Mailchimp, and Moosend would make it a no-brainer

Use Cases

- Marketers and founders who want polished forms fast, without deep coding
- Designers who like fine control via custom stylesheets/scripts
- Teams needing flexible layouts and clean embeds
- And the use cases never ends

Verdict
Deftform is really well done.
It’s flexible, powerful, and dead simple to use. 5 tacos — and 2 more on top to eat right away.
If they add the small polish items (especially spacing controls and button options) plus PayPal and email integrations, it’s an easy recommend for almost anyone.

***Highly recommended***

I just have to give a good review now. Deftform is one of the best deals I've made on AppSumo so far and earns me 10 out of 5 Tacos. A few months ago, I had some points of criticism, but the developers are working very diligently and consistently on Deftform. It truly gets better every month. I see a fantastic future for Deftform if it continues to develop so well. The best part is that it is a GDPR-compliant EU solution. Please never give up on your software and keep working on it – it will be great.

I have a small wish: I would be very happy if, alongside the form contents, a full-fledged contract signing with timestamp could be added, similar to the tool "Notch," which is also on AppSumo. That would be my ideal all-in-one solution.

I wish you continued success.

I bought it as a replacement to FormEngineer (also from Appsumo) that disappeared. I previously tried a more expensive product from Appsumo, expecting better results, but it lacked important features, leading me to try Deftform.

Deftform has all the features I needed, and much more. The UX is simple and intuitive, so I was able to create and try my first form in minutes. It offers many options to meet my needs, such as custom CSS, HTML insertion, webhooks, regex validation, predefined answers via links, and more.

The UX is well organized, separating the simple features from the more advanced ones for more technical users. The documentation is concise and effective.

It is immediately clear that it is a polished product crafted by professionals with long experience in actual needs. You can quickly set up an email for routing the form and be ready in minutes. I would expect to get a simple message telling me that one more form was filled. Instead, I got a detailed message including the answers and a link to the attached files, which saves me a lot of time.

This is surely the best form application I have ever used.

I grabbed this one as a replacement for jotform. So far it's feeling superior. I tried a ton of other form ltd's and none had done it but this one is feeling like what I needed.

Still early in my usage but so far so good!

This tool has proven to be incredibly versatile and valuable in various applications. I also used it to create a waitlist page. Previously, I purchased another service specifically for that purpose, but I must say that Deftform surpasses it completely. I have since continued to utilize it for many other tasks and am highly satisfied with its performance.
