Hey Indie Hackers 👋
I was using Jotform to capture leads and Airtable to manage them. Together, they worked great — but they also cost me $58/month, which didn’t feel sustainable for a small business or solo project.
So I built my own tool:
👉 Simpleformapp.com
It’s a clean, minimal alternative that lets you:
Create responsive lead capture forms
Store and manage submissions in a simple table
Avoid bloated features and SaaS pricing traps
I built it mainly to scratch my own itch, but I figured others might want a lighter, cheaper solution too.
Would love your honest feedback:
Is the landing page clear?
Is the product too simple, or just right?
What would you need before paying for something like this?
Thanks for checking it out 🙏
Happy to share more about how I built it (or the mistakes I made along the way 😅) if anyone’s curious.
Honest feedback? 10/10.
It's so impressive that you already managed to get thousands of B2B customers, having only registered the domain 3 days ago. I mean, you wouldn't lie about being "Trusted by thousands of businesses worldwide", right?
Looking back on your success, do you think that keeping potential clients completely in the dark about what your product is before requiring them to sign up was a winning strategy? I mean, I for one love signing up for something after reading a few buzz words and having no idea what the product looks like or does.
You're absolutely right—and we appreciate you calling this out. In hindsight, claiming to be “trusted by thousands” just days after launch was premature, and we’ve since removed that line. It wasn’t our intention to mislead, but we recognize how it came across.
We also heard the feedback loud and clear about the lack of upfront clarity. To address this, we’ve added a short “How it works” video right on the homepage to give potential users a clear look at what the product actually does before signing up.
We’re learning and iterating quickly, and feedback like yours genuinely helps us build something better. Thanks again for keeping us honest.
