What it is
Formbricks is a self-hosted survey platform with a visual editor, link surveys and surveys shown inside a web application to a chosen group of users. It stores responses in PostgreSQL.
What it is good for. Anyone who wants to ask customers a question without sending their answers to a third party, and anyone whose survey needs to appear at a particular moment — after a purchase, on the third visit, when somebody is about to cancel. Targeting is the part that link-only form builders cannot do.
- In-app surveys with targeting rules, not just a link. The same tool covers both, so the answers land in one place.
- The visual editor produces surveys that look finished, with logic that skips questions based on earlier answers.
- Running it needs one container plus PostgreSQL, and the data never leaves.
- AGPL-3.0 for the core, with a separately licensed enterprise directory at
apps/web/modules/ee. An enterprise key is needed to unlock some features in the published container images, so read what is behind that line before planning around a feature. - It is a full web application with a database. That is a real install and a real thing to keep patched — heavier than a static form that emails you.
- Version 6.0.0, released on 21 September 2026, replaced the authorisation system. A major version that changes permissions is a version to read the notes for before upgrading.
