An engineer's brutally honest pitch for his Typeform alternative

It's a nice business model, possibly. However, there are many free alternatives. I would choose v0.dev, Lovable, Bolt.New, or something similar.
darkhorse13•2h ago
They are fundamentally different products though, right?
raydenvm•2h ago
It's partly different. Users focus on solutions, not products. The pricing model must be prepared for that. $99 per site is too expensive in a market with so many free solutions. $19 may be the possible maximum, or even less
darkhorse13•2h ago
Politely, I 100% disagree. If anything, a good dev team would be able to take Forms.md and integrate that into their AI workflow to generate powerful forms.
elmerfud•2h ago
Then the next to logical question is, if it's a good dev team why do they need this at all?
darkhorse13•1h ago
Forms are deceptively complex. A lot goes into a really good, solid, well-tested form builder/generator.

Multi-steps, logic jumps, data-binding, tons of different form fields, localization, good design and UX, etc.

raydenvm•37m ago
When people want a heavyweight stuff around forms including all the integrations with Zapier, Google docs, Notion, Airtable, etc, they go Tally or Typeform for $25 per/month. I see Forms.md as a an overpriced and less capable solution. For that kind of value, even with everything you enumerated, I can't expect users paying $99 for each form website. When I consult startups, I repeat guys: fast-growing AI code generators and editors will push you out of the market if you don't come strong differentiated value with free and very low-priced tagged packages (< $10).

Why don't every good dev team roll out their own authentications?
