The formbricks self-hosted version still gates all enterprise features, even basic removal of branding. Additionally their install script forcefully reinstalls all your docker packages without warning, which cost me about five hours to fix outside of the time it took to install Formbricks. They don't care about open source software, they're just out to make money. January 30, 2026 Unprompted review
