Formly builds forms and surveys that keep working when the wifi doesn’t. You design a form once, hand it to your team, and collect responses on a phone in a warehouse aisle, a remote field site, or a basement with no signal — then every answer syncs the moment a connection comes back.
What Formly actually does
The builder handles everything from a two-question poll to a long branching survey, but the data side is where it earns its keep.
- Build basic or complex forms without touching code
- Ask standard questions like yes/no and multiple choice, or advanced types such as signature, file upload and input table
- Use skip logic to show or hide questions based on earlier answers
- Collect responses offline and sync them automatically once you reconnect
- Push submissions straight to Google Sheets, updating live as results arrive
- Connect those sheets to 3,000+ apps through Zapier, Pabbly or Make
- Take client payments from inside a form
The features that matter
- Flexible sharing — publish forms as web links on your own domain for anyone, or through the app for registered users.
- User Groups — bundle people together so specific forms reach specific users.
- Dispatch — send one person a form pre-filled with data you already hold.
- Reporting — read graph reports inside the system and export submissions as PDF, HTML or CSV.
How it fits in your stack
Formly pitches itself as a SurveyMonkey alternative, and the comparison holds where it counts. You get the familiar form-and-survey workflow, but responses no longer depend on a live connection, and they land in Google Sheets you already use instead of a closed dashboard. From there the 3,000+ Zapier and Pabbly connections mean a submission can trigger an email, update a CRM, or kick off an invoice without you copying a thing.
Who it’s built for
This fits anyone who gathers information away from a desk: field inspectors, event staff, researchers, trades, and small teams that send the same survey out week after week. If your current setup is SurveyMonkey plus a stack of paper for the spots with no signal, Formly folds both jobs into one tool.
The deal
The entry tier is a one-time $99, down from $1,450, for lifetime access, and the deal scales through five tiers up to $495 as you add codes for a bigger team. If offline data collection is part of your week, grab Formly on DealMirror before the tiers sell out.
