Formshare
Formshare turns a plain-language description into a conversational AI form, survey or quiz, shared by link or embedded on your site in five modes. It is entirely free: unlimited forms, unlimited responses, no card required.
What is Formshare?
Formshare is an AI form builder published by the British company Websecurify Limited and presented on its own site as Formshare By ChatBotKit. The premise is simple: instead of assembling fields and branching rules by hand, you describe the form you want in plain language and the AI writes the questions and the flow. The page title states it plainly, Formshare - Free AI Form Builder, under the tagline Bring your forms to life.
The result is not a static grid of inputs. Respondents move through a conversational exchange, one question at a time, closer to a chat than to a questionnaire. The product covers forms, surveys and quizzes, and ships with a catalog of 234 templates spread across application (22), booking (56), business (78) and consultation (78) families, with e-commerce and education listed in the footer.
Distribution works two ways. Every form gets a shareable link, and every form can be embedded on a site in five modes: full page, inline with adjustable height and width, popup with a customizable icon and colors, modal centered over a dimmed background, or slider anchored left or right. Colors, tone of voice and dynamic input elements are all adjustable. Language coverage is displayed as flags for the US, GB, ES, IT, FR, DE, TR, PT and RU, with a +120 more claim.
Integrations stay pragmatic: Google Sheets for response sync, Cal.com, Calendly and Google Calendar for scheduling, YouTube embeds inside forms, and real-time webhooks that POST JSON on every submission, which is also the documented route to Zapier and Make. Slack and Notion are announced as coming. There is no mobile app and no published API documentation: the product is web-only.
The commercial model is the headline. Formshare offers a single plan, the Everything Plan, at $0 per month, with unlimited forms, unlimited responses and no credit card. The site claims more than 10,000 customers, 60K+ conversations started, 500K+ questions answered and 10K+ forms created, and displays testimonials from founders, freelance copywriters, product managers, designers and growth leads. The stated ambition is to make forms less boring and to remove the technical barrier to building them.

Pros & Cons
Pros
- Genuinely free: a single plan at $0 per month, unlimited forms and responses, no credit card
- No ceiling on response volume, where competitors meter by tier
- Building from a description removes the conditional-logic builder entirely
- The conversational format makes the answering experience stand apart from a plain questionnaire
- 234 ready-made templates covering a wide range of trades and use cases
- Five customizable embed modes, native booking integrations and webhooks that open onto Zapier and Make
- Named DPO, DPA on request and a contractual training opt-out, which is rare at this price point
Cons
- No support channel is published: no email address on the domain, and the /help page renders empty without JavaScript
- The billing contact quoted in the terms, contact@formshare.com, sits on a domain the publisher does not own, since formshare.com redirects to a domain-name marketplace
- No public API documentation: webhooks are the only extension point
- No hosting country or region declared, no subprocessor list and no retention period in figures
- No security certification and no trust page; the publisher does not guarantee that all stored data can be deleted
- The terms describe billing tiers, US-dollar payments and price-increase notices that match no offer on the site, a contractual template detached from the actual product
- Entirely free with no paid tier: no service-level commitment, and nothing documents how the service is funded over time
Pricing & Plans
Formshare is offered free of charge. The site displays a single plan, the Everything Plan at $0 per month, with unlimited forms and unlimited responses and no credit card required; no paid tier and no entry price point are published. The terms of service do contain generic billing clauses, including payment in US dollars, a 1.5% monthly late charge and fourteen days' notice on price increases, and refer to a free tier with credits whose benefit may not be stacked across multiple accounts. Those clauses match no offer visible on the site and should be read as contractual boilerplate rather than as evidence of a hidden paid plan.
- create forms
- surveys or quizzes for free

- color customization
Data, GDPR & hosting
A consolidated view of how Formshare handles your data.
GDPR overview
Compliance is claimed explicitly, but under the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018 rather than the European Union's GDPR. A data protection officer is named and reachable: Petko Petkov, pdp@websecurify.com, 86-90 Paul Street, London EC2A 4NE. The supervisory authority cited is the UK Information Commissioner's Office. A Data Processing Addendum is available on request at legals@websecurify.com for customers governed by the GDPR or the CCPA. Access requests are free, subject to identity verification, and may be refused when manifestly unfounded. No EU representative under Article 27 is designated. One grey area remains on dates: the privacy policy is headed 04 September 2024 while its own section 8 states that this version is dated 22 April 2021. The terms were last modified on 29 August 2024.
Who owns the data?
The terms are explicit: you own all Input you submit, and FormShare assigns to you all its right, title and interest in the Output. The forms you build and the answers you collect are yours. In return, the publisher reserves the right to use your Content to provide and maintain the service, to comply with the law and to enforce its policies, and you remain responsible for that Content and its legal compliance. For the personal data attached to your account, Websecurify Limited acts as data controller rather than processor. The privacy policy adds that personal data may be transferred to an acquirer in the event of a sale or acquisition of the business.
Reuse rights
On your side, reuse is unrestricted: since the Output is assigned to you, the forms, the questions and the collected answers can be published, exported and fed into other tools without asking permission. The reverse direction is less open. Section 3(c) of the terms lets FormShare use your Content by default to develop and improve the services, and opting out requires an email to legals@websecurify.com quoting your organization ID rather than a switch in the interface; the publisher warns that opting out may make the service less relevant for a specific use case. The privacy policy relies on consent, contractual necessity, legal obligation and legitimate interest, states that no special-category or criminal-offence data is collected, and sends marketing only on explicit opt-in. Sharing with third parties is limited to a change of control, a sale, a technology licence or a legal obligation.
Data retention & training
Hosting summary
The site declares nothing about hosting. Neither the privacy policy nor the terms name a hosting country, a region, a data center or a cloud provider, and the privacy policy mentions possible subcontractors without publishing any list of them. Public information therefore does not allow a data residency requirement to be verified. The only jurisdictional anchor is corporate: Websecurify Limited is a UK company, named as data controller, claiming compliance with the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018, with the Information Commissioner's Office as supervisory authority. One element sits outside any statement by the publisher: the domain resolves to 216.150.16.193, an address geolocated in the United States on AS16509 (Amazon.com Inc.). That is a network observation, not a declaration by the publisher, and the address may well be a CDN or anycast node; it says nothing about where form responses are actually stored.
Things to keep in mind
Risks and trade-offs to weigh before adopting Formshare.
- Your Content is used by default to improve the services; excluding it requires a manual email to legals@websecurify.com quoting your organization ID, not a setting in the interface
- No hosting country or region is declared, and compliance is claimed under the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018 rather than the EU GDPR with no Article 27 representative: neither data residency nor EU coverage can be assumed
- The publisher states that it does not guarantee the ability to delete all stored data, and gives no retention period in figures
- The terms impose binding arbitration through ADR Services and a waiver of class actions
- No support channel is published: no address on the domain, an empty help page, and a billing contact in the terms that points to a domain the publisher does not own
- Because the AI writes the questions from a short brief, a form can be published without being reread: check the wording, and what personal data it asks respondents for, before sending it out
- The service is entirely free with no paid tier, so there is no service-level commitment and nothing documents how long it will remain available
Setup & Integrations
Technical difficulty
Very low on the standard path. You create an account, describe the form in plain language, and the AI produces it: no conditional-logic builder to master, no technical skill required. Sharing by link takes zero configuration. Embedding means copying an embed code from the form's settings and choosing one of five modes. Google Sheets, Cal.com, Calendly and Google Calendar connect in a few clicks. The only step that assumes a technical profile is the webhook, which needs an endpoint able to receive JSON POST requests, or a Zapier or Make relay in its place.

Should you pick Formshare?
Formshare makes an unusual promise: a full conversational form builder, with unlimited forms and unlimited responses, for $0 a month and no credit card. That is at once its strongest argument and its biggest unknown, since no paid tier funds the service and nothing on the site documents how it will be sustained.
On features, the value is hard to fault. Describing a form in plain language genuinely removes the logic builder; the conversational answering experience sets it apart from a spreadsheet-style questionnaire; and 234 templates, five embed modes, native booking integrations and real-time webhooks cover most everyday collection needs for small businesses, freelancers and small teams.
Data governance looks correct on paper and thin in practice. A data protection officer is named, a DPA is available on request, and the terms provide an explicit opt-out from having your Content used to improve the service, three things rarely found at this price. But the compliance claimed is the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018, not the European Union's GDPR; no Article 27 EU representative is designated; no hosting country, subprocessor list or retention period is published; and the publisher does not guarantee that all stored data can be deleted.
Public support and documentation are the weakest link. The help page renders empty, no support address exists on the domain, and the billing contact quoted in the terms points at a domain the publisher does not own.
Verdict: worth the detour for routine collection, whether leads, bookings, client intake, feedback or quizzes, where free and unlimited beats a metered competitor. Approach it with more caution for sensitive data or regulated use, where the absence of certifications, of declared hosting and of a documented support channel will weigh heavily.
