Important changes for self-hosters
With Formbricks 3.0, we're also making some strategic changes to the Community Edition for self-hosters. While the Community Edition gets more powerful with every release, we're also moving some advanced features from the free Community Edition to the paid Enterprise Edition.
Don't update to 3.0 if you need SSO, etc.
If you update to 3.0 and run the data migration, there is no way back to 2.7.2 - if you need to use SSO or one of the other previously free features, either stick with 2.7.X or reach out for a custom quote.
Here is the new feature breakdown:
Why the changes?
We understand that it is frustrating to use functionality for free which then moves behind a paywall - and rest assured, we are not taking anything away from you. Your current version of Formbricks will continue to work and you are welcome to use the Formbricks 2.7.2 Community Edition for free for years to come.
However, to assure the long-term sustainability of Formbricks, we are moving some advanced features to the Enterprise Edition from 3.0 onwards. While we love the idea of e.g. SSO being free, from a company-building perspective it was a strategic mistake, which we are correcting now.
Think about it this way: The better we can monetize larger organizations using Formbricks, the more features we can ship for free. In the coming months and years, we keep shipping more and more features for the Community Edition, like the frequently requested E-mail Follow-Ups in 3.0
Reach out - weโre listening!
We understand that changes like these can feel challenging. If youโre currently using features that are moving to the Enterprise Edition, we want to help. Whether itโs through transitional pricing, extended trials, or exploring ways to customize the Community Edition for your needs, weโre here to support you.
Looking ahead
Formbricks 3.0 represents a major step forward in our mission to provide powerful, accessible experience management tools. While some advanced features are moving to our Enterprise Edition, it will enable us to improve the Community Edition for years to come.
We're incredibly grateful for our community's support and feedback. Together, we're building something special, and we can't wait to see what you'll create with Formbricks 3.0!
