Setup time
Plug-and-play with modern React frameworks like Next.js or Remix
Weeks or months — architecture, UI system, state handling, tooling
Cost
Transparent licensing, no per-user fees
Dev cost + UI library licenses + maintenance overhead
Form builder UI
Ready-made visual editor with live preview and reusable field templates
Must be designed and built from scratch, including layout logic
Custom logic
UI for defining actions, conditions, visibility, validation
You must write custom JS logic for every interaction
Custom components
Easily integrate your own field types via config or code
Requires building extensibility system yourself
Collaboration
Can be embedded into internal tools — access control handled by your app
No native collaboration — must implement team workflows and permissions manually
Localization
Visual i18n editor for translating labels and descriptions
Manual implementation of i18n and translation tooling
Schema portability
JSON schema output is fully portable and compatible across apps and environments
Often tightly coupled to app structure, difficult to reuse or move between systems

Pricing FAQ
Is FormEngine Core really free forever?
Yes. FormEngine Core is free and open-source under the MIT license — forever. There are no usage limits, no time restrictions, and no hidden fees. You can use it in any project, including commercial and SaaS applications.
Can I use Core in production without Designer?
Yes. FormEngine Core is fully self-sufficient for rendering forms in production. You can create form schemas manually in JSON or programmatically via the typed API. Designer is only needed if you want a visual drag-and-drop interface for building forms.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept bank transfers and card payments for all plans. For Enterprise and Custom licensing, contact us to arrange payment terms that work for your organization.
What's the difference between free Core and paid Designer?
FormEngine Core is a free JSON form renderer — it takes a JSON schema and renders a fully functional form in your React app. FormEngine Designer is a commercial drag-and-drop visual builder for creating and editing those JSON schemas. Core works independently without Designer.
How does FormEngine pricing compare to alternatives?
FormEngine Core is completely free — unlike many alternatives that charge for their form engine. Designer starts at $899/year (subscription) or $1,299 one-time (perpetual license), which is a one-time investment compared to SaaS competitors with recurring monthly fees.
Do you offer discounts for startups/students?
We evaluate requests on a case-by-case basis. Contact us with details about your project and we'll discuss options that fit your needs and budget.
Do I need Designer license for every developer?
No. Designer licenses are tied to domains, not individual developers. Your entire team can work with a single license. StartUp covers 1 domain, Business covers 3 domains, and Enterprise supports unlimited domains with wildcard subdomains.
Is there a trial for Designer?
You can try the Online Form Builder for free — it lets you design forms visually and export JSON schemas. For the full Designer package with integration into your own React app, contact us to discuss your requirements.
