Source: https://form.io
Is Formio free?
Formio offers a free tier, so you can start without paying. Paid plans start at $300 per month. Prices are published openly on the vendor's own pricing page. Pricing changes often, so verify at source before relying on it.
What platforms does Formio support?
We have confirmed browser-based access to Formio. That is the extent of what we could verify from public sources, so it may well offer desktop or mobile clients we have not indexed.
Source: https://form.io
Can Formio be self-hosted?
Yes. Formio can be deployed cloud / SaaS and self-hosted, so it does not have to run on the vendor's infrastructure.
Source: https://form.io
What does Formio integrate with?
We have confirmed 10 integrations for Formio, including SAML, OAuth, JWT, Webhooks, Email, PDF, E-Sign+ and Claude/Anthropic MCP, plus 2 more. This is what we could verify from public sources, so the vendor may support others we have not indexed.
Source: https://form.io
What security certifications does Formio have?
We have independently confirmed HIPAA and GDPR for Formio. Certifications we do not list are ones we have not been able to verify from public sources, which is not the same as Formio not holding them. Always confirm compliance directly before you rely on it.

The vioscaleAI score: one lens on the evidence
Not user reviews and not a paid placement: a confidence-weighted blend of the independent signals below (adoption, activity, security posture, and more), which you can sort and re-weight yourself. Vendors can correct their listing but can never move their rank, and stars are weighted low as a vanity metric. It is one way to read the evidence for Formio, not the verdict.
