App Surveys

Quickstart

App surveys have 6-10x better conversion rates than emailed out surveys. This tutorial explains how to run an app survey in your web app in 10 to 15 minutes. Let’s go!

  1. Create a free Formbricks Cloud account: While you can self-host Formbricks, but the quickest and easiest way to get started is with the free Cloud plan. Just sign up here and you'll be guided to our onboarding like below:

  1. Connect your App/Website: Once you get through a couple of onboarding steps, you’ll be asked to connect your app or website. This is where you’ll find the code snippet for both HTML as well as the npm package which you need to embed in your app:
