Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best European alternative to JotForm?
Formbricks (Germany) is an open-source experience management platform for surveys and forms — self-hostable for complete data sovereignty. Tally (Belgium) is the easiest-to-use EU form builder with a generous free plan and all data stored in the EU.
Does Formbricks support all JotForm form types?
Formbricks focuses on product surveys, NPS, CSAT, and feedback forms rather than all-purpose form building. For general forms, Tally or Typebot (EU-based) are better fits. Formbricks excels at in-app surveys and product feedback workflows.
Is Tally GDPR-compliant?
Yes — Tally is a Belgian company with all data stored on EU servers. It offers unlimited forms, unlimited submissions on the free plan, and a clean interface. No Tally branding on free forms. It has a GDPR-ready DPA for business users.
Can I self-host a JotForm alternative?
Yes — Formbricks is fully open-source and self-hostable via Docker. LimeSurvey (Germany) is also self-hostable and battle-tested for enterprise surveys. Both can run on Hetzner or any EU VPS for complete control over form submission data.
