TellForm is an open-source, self-hosted form builder and survey tool, positioned as a free alternative to TypeForm and Google Forms, built on the MEAN stack (MongoDB, Express, Angular, Node.js). The project is officially deprecated and unmaintained, with development continued by the backwards-compatible fork OhMyForm.

Use cases

• self-host a typeform alternative
• create surveys and questionnaires on my own server
• build embedable forms for free
• collect form responses with analytics
• replace google forms with open source
• build multi-language forms

When to choose

• you need a reference codebase for a MEAN-stack form builder
• you want a free self-hosted form tool and accept the security risk of outdated dependencies
• you need backwards compatibility with existing TellForm deployments

When to avoid

• you want a maintained, secure form builder - use the OhMyForm fork instead
• you plan to expose it publicly, since the project itself warns of vulnerable dependencies
• you expect bug fixes, updates, or issue support - the issue tracker is closed
