Frequently asked questions
The questions we get most. If yours isn't here, ask in support and we'll answer.
What is Pipeback?
An open-source form builder. You write the form like a doc, add logic, share it with a link, an embed or a QR code, and send every answer where your team works. Use it on pipeback.com or host it yourself.
Is Pipeback free?
Yes. Free has unlimited forms and submissions under fair use, with no time limit and no credit card. Pro adds your own domain, members and branding removal for $25 a month or $250 a year per workspace.
Is Pipeback really open source?
Yes. Its code is licensed under the AGPL, and pipeback.com runs the same code you can host yourself. You can read it, change it and suggest changes.
Can I host Pipeback myself?
Yes, for free. You need Docker with the Compose plugin: one compose file runs the app, PostgreSQL and Redis. A self-hosted install has every feature unlocked and no plans.
Can I bring my forms from Typeform?
Yes. Paste the Typeform link and a personal access token, and the title, questions, logic and images come in as a draft, with nothing published. The token is used for that import only and never saved, and anything with no match in Pipeback is listed so you can add it in the editor.
