# Formbear > Formbear is a design-led, EU-hosted form and survey builder. Unlimited forms and responses on a genuinely free plan, GDPR-compliant, with data that never leaves Europe. Build forms on a calm, document-style canvas, share them as a fast hosted page or an embed, and read every response in one place. Two plans: a genuinely unlimited Free tier, and Pro at EUR 24/mo (or EUR 240/yr) adding custom domains, advanced customization, file upload, partial responses, revision history, and unlimited collaborator seats. All data is hosted on EU-owned infrastructure in Germany, with response answers encrypted at rest. ## Product - [Home](https://formbear.app): Overview, features, pricing, and FAQ. - [Features](https://formbear.app/features): Every capability, grouped by product area, with Free vs Pro noted. - [Changelog](https://formbear.app/changelog): Everything new in Formbear, release by release. ## Getting started - [Introduction](https://formbear.app/docs/introduction): Formbear is a design-led, EU-hosted form and survey builder with an unlimited free tier and a €24/mo Pro plan. - [Quickstart](https://formbear.app/docs/quickstart): Create, customize, and publish your first Formbear form in a few minutes. - [Core concepts](https://formbear.app/docs/core-concepts): Blocks, stable field ids, draft vs published schema, and workspaces: the ideas the rest of the docs build on. ## Building forms - [The editor](https://formbear.app/docs/the-editor): A document-style, keyboard-first builder: slash commands, drag-to-reorder, and contextual controls on the selected block. - [Generate forms with AI](https://formbear.app/docs/ai-form-generation): Describe a form in plain language and get a ready draft, either from a blank New form or inside the editor. - [Question types](https://formbear.app/docs/question-types): Every field type Formbear offers, from short text to ratings and file upload. - [File uploads](https://formbear.app/docs/file-uploads): Collect attachments from respondents: allowed types, size limits, and how files are stored and previewed. - [Pages and layout](https://formbear.app/docs/pages-and-layout): Split a long form across pages, and choose how the hosted form presents them. ## Design & customization - [Themes](https://formbear.app/docs/themes): Shape color, typography, and layout in the Customize panel, then save it as a reusable workspace theme. - [Custom CSS](https://formbear.app/docs/custom-css): Style the hosted form with your own CSS against a stable set of formbear-* class hooks and design tokens (Pro). - [Branding](https://formbear.app/docs/branding): Add a cover image and favicon, and remove the Formbear badge on Pro. ## Sharing & collecting - [Publishing](https://formbear.app/docs/publishing): How publishing freezes a snapshot, and why your edits never disturb a live form. - [Embedding](https://formbear.app/docs/embedding): Embed a Formbear form on any website;
