A: With Formly, you're getting the hosted infrastructure, security updates, new features, integrations, support, backups, and ongoing product development without having to build and maintain all of that yourself. In fact, we have many customers who have come back to Formly after trying to vibe-code or build their own solution.

Formly is built to work with your existing stack rather than locking your data inside Formly. You can export your responses in CSV, HTML and PDF, connect responses directly to Google Sheets, use webhooks to send submission data to your own systems etc. The goal is for Formly to be the form, survey, and quiz layer in your workflow — while you remain in control of your data.

And importantly, we do not sell or share your data with third parties. How we collect, use, and protect data is covered by our Privacy Policy and our obligations under GDPR.

We completely understand that SaaS isn't the right fit for every business but for teams that want a reliable, continuously maintained product without having to build and maintain the entire infrastructure themselves, we believe Formly still offers a lot of value. And with the AppSumo deal, you're essentially getting access to that continually evolving platform for a one-time investment ❤️
