# 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. - [Pricing](https://formbear.app/pricing.md): Both plans, limits, and what Pro gates, as markdown. ## Agents and developers - [How to authenticate](https://formbear.app/auth.md): Workspace API tokens and OAuth 2.1, with discovery, scopes, errors, and revocation. - [REST API](https://formbear.app/docs/rest-api): One POST per tool at /api/v1/tools/{name}; OpenAPI 3.1 at https://formbear.app/openapi.json. - [MCP server](https://formbear.app/api/mcp): Streamable HTTP; the same tools as the REST API.
