SharaForms — the easier Form.io alternative
Build polished forms with unlimited responses, strong workflow control, and no unnecessary setup overhead — all without turning forms into engineering projects.
Form.io is powerful, but it asks for engineering time and backend setup. SharaForms gives teams a polished builder and developer-grade workflows out of the box, without making every form a custom implementation.

Frequently asked
questions
Quick answers about switching to SharaForms from Form.io.
Is SharaForms a good Form.io alternative?
Yes. Form.io is developer-oriented and expects engineering overhead to self-host and run. SharaForms gives teams a hosted, no-code builder with API and webhooks for developers — far less setup, a free plan with unlimited submissions, and no mandatory infrastructure work.
Is Form.io free?
Form.io is open source if you self-host, but running it means managing servers, databases, and upgrades yourself. SharaForms is free and fully hosted — unlimited forms and unlimited submissions, no servers to operate, and paid plans from $12 per month for advanced features.
Can I import my Form.io forms into SharaForms?
Yes. SharaForms supports importing forms from common builders, and Form.io JSON form definitions can be moved into native SharaForms forms.
How does SharaForms pricing compare to Form.io?
SharaForms is free with unlimited submissions; paid plans start at $12 per month. Form.io requires self-hosting infrastructure or expensive hosted plans, so the total cost of ownership is typically far higher.
