Kill Typeform

Replace Typeform with Claude and Formbricks (self-hosted)

$29-99/mo

Typeform's free plan caps at 10 responses per month - enough to test, not enough to use. The paid entry point is $29/month for 100 responses, and they've restructured plans twice in two years. Formbricks is the open source alternative with unlimited responses, the same conversational form UX, and a one-click Railway deploy. Self-hosted it costs $5/month flat.

Why Replace Typeform?

  • ×The free plan is a demo, not a tier - 10 responses per month across all forms is not usable for any real business purpose
  • ×Response caps scale your costs with your success - the more traffic your forms get, the more you pay
  • ×Plan restructuring creates forced upgrades - Typeform retired and replaced plans twice since 2023, with some users seeing up to 20% cost increases at renewal
  • ×Branding removal, integrations, and useful features are gated behind paid tiers - you pay to not advertise their product

2

Deploy Formbricks on Railway

~10 mins

Use the one-click Formbricks template. Railway provisions Formbricks and PostgreSQL. The template has 681 total projects and 249 currently active, with a 64% deployment success rate - roughly 1 in 3 deploys fails on the first attempt. If the deployment fails at the health check, open the Railway canvas, click the failed service, and hit Redeploy. If it still fails, switch the Postgres image from postgres:15-alpine to pgvector/pgvector:pg17 in Railway service settings.

Add your domain and create workspace

~10 mins

In Railway project settings, add a custom domain like forms.yourdomain.com. Add the CNAME record to your DNS. On first load, Formbricks walks you through workspace setup.
