You are right, sorry about that. In the last iteration of our footer redesign these informations were accidentally removed. We have added the pages again and republished the website. Since the discord plugin also concerned you, we now removed it from our website.

Is there a form SaaS that allows the admin to give feedback on the form submission and then have the user resubmit their form?

I run a coaching business and I’d like my students to be able to submit their work for feedback and review. Then if they need to make changes, I’d like to make it as easy as possible for them to resubmit the form with tweaks to their submission.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

hey! Interesting, this is kinda where we came from. We thought that with a form you always try to get as much information as possible, hence your "snooping" around. You took it a step further, good that extensive form analytics are coming :)

I wouldn't want to have to list on my privacy policy that we use a tool called snoop anything. Change the name.

Sadly I have to agree.

Data privacy is a key driver for me to not use something like Typeform and to choose something with supposedly better privacy features.

It’s a shame to nitpick on the name, but I do feel that having “snoop” in the brand name is not a good move for the target audience segment that I fall into!

I might be an outlier but not a big fan of the pricing model.

$0.02 per submission can get very expensive very fast. For 10,000 submissions, it will cost the user $200 where as Typeform costs $83 for the same[1]. Is it really that expensive to store 10,000 rows of data?

I understand the other features provided with the storage such as analytics and integrations but it still doesn't justify the cost imo.

While you can argue that you offer self-hosting as well and as someone who is a big fan of self-hosting(I self-host over 8+ apps[2]), It's another thing I can self-host if I need to someday and I thank you for making it self-hostable/open-source. But from my experience, only very technical users self-host apps.

If it's really not that expensive, couldn't you just self-host it? I think the developer is just trying to make a reasonable amount for providing a service for those who don't want to self-host.
