Hey AppSumo community! 👋

Pascal here, co-founder of Funnelforms (with my buddy Fabian Zühlsdorf).

I'm beyond excited to share our story and product with you Sumo-lings!

From agency life to SaaS In 2015, I was running my own marketing agency. But one thing drove me crazy: those boring contact forms 😩. They were static and awful at converting visitors. I'd send tons of traffic to a site, only to watch prospects bounce instead of filling out the form.

I searched for a better solution, but nothing fit the bill. Plus, I was itching to build a product of my own (agency life gets old 😅).

Turning frustration into a solution 🚀

After one too many facepalms at low-converting forms, my friend Fabian and I decided to take matters into our own hands. If no form builder could spice up lead gen, we'd build our own!

Many late nights (and gallons of coffee) later, Funnelforms was born.

Our mission? Make lead capture fun, interactive, and insanely effective.

With Funnelforms, a form isn’t just a form—it’s an experience. We transformed the old single-page contact form into an engaging multi-step funnel with smart conditional logic.

The result? A form that doesn’t feel like “work” to fill out.

Highlights include:

-High-end design & UX: Modern, fully responsive design.

-Drag-and-drop builder: Build multi-step forms without coding—just drag and drop.

-Smart conditional logic: Forms adapt to each user.

-WordPress integration: Easy setup as a plugin (supports English & German).

Why it matters

Old-school forms are conversion killers. Funnelforms flips the script—visitors actually enjoy giving their info, so you get more (and better) leads.

Users have seen conversion rates skyrocket, with up to 3× the leads and more qualified inquiries.

Instead of one daunting page of questions, prospects get a friendly step-by-step conversation. It's like having a virtual sales assistant on your site pre-qualifying leads for you. 💪

Who is it for?

If your business relies on inbound leads, Funnelforms is your new best friend.

Our main users are agencies (boosting clients' lead gen), recruiters (streamlining job applications), and any business that needs more leads.

If leads matter to you, an interactive form is a game-changer.

The AppSumo deal (no limits!) 🎉

Your AppSumo deal gives you the full Funnelforms experience with no limits (unlimited forms and leads).

We built Funnelforms to solve our own problem, and now we want to make sure it solves yours too.

Looking ahead

We're so excited to have Sumo-lings on board. Funnelforms was born from our own pain point, and we believe it can help you too.

We'll be around in the comments for any questions or feedback.

Let's leave boring forms in the dust together. 🙌

Cheers, Pascal (and Fabian)

– Co-founders of Funnelforms

What are past projects, failures, or successes you’ve had in your career?

Before building Funnelforms, I (Pascal) ran a successful online marketing agency for several years, starting in 2015. That experience gave me deep insights into the challenges businesses face in converting traffic into leads. I’ve helped hundreds of businesses grow—but ironically, the one thing that always annoyed me was how inefficient and outdated most contact forms were. My biggest “failure” was probably staying too long in client service mode instead of jumping earlier into SaaS—but in hindsight, that gave me the field experience to build something truly useful. Funnelforms is the result of everything I learned from both success and frustration.

What 3rd party tools is your product critically dependent on?

Funnelforms is fully self-hosted and custom-built. It’s currently offered as a WordPress plugin. We integrate with tools like Zapier and Make. We’ve intentionally kept dependencies minimal to maintain performance, flexibility, and control.

Where is your customer data stored?

The data is stored on the users own web servers. We dont host any forms or content from the users. Our own member area are located in Frankfurt/Germany.

What is your current monthly recurring revenue (MRR)?

30,000

How many customers do you have today?

1,100

What’s the origin of the idea for your product?

The idea for Funnelforms was born out of pure necessity. Running my agency, I constantly ran into the same wall: standard contact forms were boring, clunky, and killed conversion rates. I couldn’t find a single tool that made it easier for users to actually enjoy filling out a form—especially with clean design, logic, and mobile responsiveness. So, together with my long-time friend and co-founder Fabian, we decided: screw it, we’ll build it ourselves. That’s how Funnelforms started.

What problem is your product solving and how?

We’re solving the problem of bad lead forms. Traditional contact forms don’t work anymore—they’re static, ugly, and don’t guide users properly. Businesses spend thousands driving traffic, only to lose potential leads at the form stage.

Funnelforms solves that by:

-Turning forms into guided conversations (multi-step UX)

-Adding logic that shows only relevant questions

-Designing forms that look great on any device

-Providing a builder that’s super easy to use

The result? More leads, better data, and a smoother user experience.

What’s the #1 thing you’re looking to gain from the AppSumo campaign?

We want real feedback from real users, to help shape the next generation of Funnelforms. AppSumo’s community is filled with marketers, agencies, and entrepreneurs—exactly the kind of users who will push our product to the next level.

Plus: We’re expanding globally, and AppSumo helps us break out of the German-speaking market and connect with an international audience.

What are your plans with the customers, cash, and learnings from the AppSumo campaign?

-Customers: We’re building a community, not just a customer base. We want to listen, improve, and stay close to early adopters.

-Cash: We’ll reinvest every cent into product development—more features, more integrations, and even better UX.

-Learnings: This is a two-way street. We’ll take every review, feature request, and bug report seriously and use it to grow smarter and faster.

Any details to clarify about the deal?

There are no hidden limits in the AppSumo deal. You’ll get full access to create unlimited forms and leads.
