Tripetto is a Dutch form-and-survey builder centred on the principle of "hosting freedom": customers can run forms on Tripetto's cloud (Studio), inside a self-hosted WordPress plugin, or via the FormBuilder SDK with full self-hosting where survey data never reaches Tripetto servers at all. The product positions itself against Typeform, SurveyMonkey, Google Forms, WPForms, Gravity Forms, and Contact Form 7, and ships with a "magnetic storyboard" form-design canvas, three rendering modes (Autoscroll, Chat, Classic), conversational logic primitives, and 1,000+ automation connectors (Slack, Zapier, Make).
For procurement-grade EU buyers the structurally interesting feature is the hybrid hosting model. The FormBuilder SDK is sold as a developer licence (from US$10,800/year, ~€10,000) and lets the customer host all form data on infrastructure of their choosing. Running it on Hetzner, OVH, Scaleway, or any other EU-incorporated host gives the customer full control with no CLOUD Act exposure. The WordPress plugin operates on the customer's WordPress installation, with the same self-control properties. The Studio (cloud) product is where transparency drops off: at audit time the dedicated /privacy/, /security/, /dpa/, /about/, and /legal/ URLs all returned 404, and the cloud product's hosting provider, sub-processors, and DPA artefact were not publicly named, so the cloud Studio carries a defensive minor CLOUD Act flag pending vendor outreach.
Pricing for Studio is freemium: free accounts have all core features with Tripetto branding shown on rendered forms, and "Unlock 1" is a one-time US$99 payment per form (~€90) to remove branding and enable advanced connectors and activity tracking. Best fit: developers, agencies, and EU buyers who want full control over form-data residency. The SDK and WordPress plugin paths give a procurement-grade story even though the Studio cloud product needs vendor outreach to verify. The MVP shortlist noted "open-source kernel + cloud"; the open-source claim refers to embeddable runners and the SDK rather than a fully open-source server.
