Tired of Form & Survey Limits? Compare Your Options

Need to create surveys, forms, or polls for your website? Don't pay for expensive, standalone tools that silo your data and create a disjointed experience for your users. There is a smarter, more integrated way.

UltimateWB includes a powerful Forms & Surveys Builder and a separate Polls App as built-in features of a complete website platform. This means your forms can be seamlessly integrated with your member database, your website's design, and your own server - giving you total control, better security, and saving you from yet another monthly subscription.

Form Builders: Common Traps vs. The UltimateWB Advantage

  • The Hosted Tool Trap (SurveyMonkey, Typeform, Jotform): You're renting a tool and your data lives on their servers. You're subject to their branding, strict response/form limits, and endless monthly fees that grow as you do.
  • The "Free" Trap (Google Forms): It's free, but looks unprofessional, offers very basic features, and has no integration with your website's user management system. It's fine for internal use, but not for a professional brand.
  • The UltimateWB Solution: Your forms, surveys, and polls are part of YOUR website. All data is stored securely on your server, there are no limits on responses, and you can create advanced forms that are fully integrated with your member groups and permissions.
