Formstack review and pricing

Cross-CRM enterprise forms with workflow automation and document generation.

By Formstack · Founded 2006 · Fishers, IN · pe backed

Formstack launched 2006 and was recapitalized by Silversmith Capital Partners in 2020 (terms undisclosed). The platform serves enterprise customers with cross-CRM forms (Salesforce, HubSpot, Microsoft Dynamics), workflow automation, and document generation. Wins on cross-CRM coverage breadth and workflow features. Loses on UX modernization and post-PE pricing trajectory.

Best for

Cross-CRM enterprises (1000-25,000 employees) needing workflow and document generation.

Worst for

Modern conversational use cases (Typeform fit better); SMB on tight budget (Jotform).

Vendor Trust is scored independently of product quality. A great product from an unfair vendor still earns a low trust score.
