Online form builder software allows users to create forms using a drag-and-drop interface. They are flexible tools capable of creating many types of fillable forms, including surveys, quizzes, and questionnaires. These forms can be shared or embedded on web pages where users can procure responses, and response data is gathered and stored within the application itself.
Online form builders aim to be intuitive and easy to use, streamlining the process of creating forms so users can focus on collecting and analyzing data. These tools enable companies to rapidly build forms aimed at gathering information from a given audience. Some companies use online forms to collect information from potential customers or clients on projects or opportunities.
Some online form builders can operate as a standalone solution, while other types of software, like CRM software, lead capture software, or survey software, can include online form building functionality. Additionally, online form builders will often offer numerous integrations so users can share forms and export data quickly and easily.
To qualify for inclusion in the Online Form Builder category, a product must:
Offer a drag-and-drop or simplistic interface that builds fillable forms
Provide native form building features and do not rely on integrations to provide online form building
Allow users to share forms with an audience or embed forms in a website for data collection
Provide analytics on form submission data
