Fair questions
Is it really free on GitHub?
Yes — MIT source at github.com/bensblueprints/form-builder-mvp. $99 buys the packaged installer, 1-click setup, updates and setup support.
Does it have logic jumps?
Not yet — fields are linear. Typeform's conditional logic and calculator are genuinely more advanced; if your forms branch heavily, Typeform still earns its price.
Are responses really unlimited?
Yes — they're rows in your own SQLite file. The only limit is your disk.
Do respondents' files stay private?
Yes — uploads are stored on your own server/disk with size and type limits, and never touch a third party.
Can I embed forms on my site?
Yes — copy-paste iframe snippet from the Share tab, or link straight to /f/your-slug.
