Form-Data VS Asklayer

Form-Data's answer

Form-Data started as a humble side project back in 2019. While building another app, I just needed a simple, reliable way to handle form submissions, and quickly realized that the existing tools were either overpriced or overly complicated (or both). So, like any good developer detour, what began as a quick fix turned into something much bigger. Since then, Form-Data has grown into a full-featured platform used by hundreds of users, but it still carries that same spirit: keep it simple, do it well, and don’t overcharge for it.

Asklayer's answer:

Asklayer is built by a team of experts from Japan and was created out of frustration with low response rates associated with traditional surveys. We found that most users hate surveys, however they are willing to answer a few questions.

So we created Asklayer, a micro-survey tool that presents itself as simple questions to the user to reduce friction and increase response rates. Unlike traditional surveys we collect data after every question so even if the user abandons part way, you still get answers and a measure of the drop-off point.

The results of all these efforts is a much better user experience, a greatly increased response rate and a much greater total volume of data collected.

The core technologies used are Cloudflare workers and its ecosystem, Google Firebase for its Firestore and Authorization. Emails are sent using Postmark and EmailIt, and spam protection is utilizing CleanTalk and Cloudflare Bot Detection.

The submission handler service is separate from all other services so it always remains stable and performant.

There are more technologies used, but these are the main ones that are at the core of Form-Data.
