Endatix

Endatix is a form and survey platform for organizations that want to manage responses on infrastructure they control. It suits teams with technical capacity and data-handling requirements; its free self-hosted API is appealing, but the managed options start at $360 per month.

Overview

Endatix pairs a visual form builder with submission management, automation, and exports. Teams can run it on their own infrastructure or choose a hosted service, balancing deployment control against the work of operating a self-hosted platform.

It accepts anonymous or authenticated responses, lets respondents resume partial submissions, and supports form versioning without disrupting existing submissions. Pre-filled forms can use earlier response records or third-party integrations, which helps when respondents need to review or update information rather than start from scratch.

Key features

The SurveyJS-based drag-and-drop builder includes more than 20 question types, conditional logic, validation, custom question types, themes, and multiple languages. That breadth can handle varied workflows, though teams needing distinctive forms may need to configure their own question types and logic.

Webhooks can trigger notifications and follow-up actions, including sending data to CRM systems and chat apps. Submissions and codebooks export to CSV, XLSX, XML, and PDF, giving teams several formats for downstream use.

File storage can use Azure Blob Storage, Amazon S3, self-hosted RustFS, or other S3-compatible providers. Files are private by default and accessed through short-lived signed URLs after permission checks: read URLs expire in 15 minutes and write URLs in 180 seconds. Email integrations include Mailgun, SendGrid, and SMTP; single sign-on can use Keycloak or OAuth 2.0 providers.

Deployment can be native or Docker-based on Linux, Windows Server, or macOS, and on Azure, AWS, GCP, or on-premises infrastructure. That flexibility is useful for organizations with established environments, but self-hosting means taking responsibility for deployment and operations.

Pricing

The Endatix Headless API is free at no cost, MIT licensed, and self-hosted. It is the clearest low-cost route for teams able to run an API themselves; it is not the same offer as the full-featured form management platform.

Hosted / Endatix Cloud starts at $360 a month, billed $360/ starting, per month, with no commitment required. The offer is a managed Endatix Hub tenant or dedicated instance, with pricing available by contacting Endatix. This is the option for teams that want managed hosting, but the starting price makes it a substantial step up from the free API.

Endatix Hub is a perpetual license with custom pricing based on the number and type of environments. It includes 12 months of updates and support. Organizations choosing it should account for the environment-based price and the stated term of updates and support.

Platforms

Endatix supports API, Linux, macOS, self-hosted, web, and Windows environments. Its hybrid deployment model gives teams a choice between their own infrastructure and hosted Endatix Cloud.

Who it's for

Endatix is aimed at teams in healthcare, legal, insurance, finance, education, government, market research, nonprofits, and field services. The controls around storage, access, and deployment may suit organizations with particular data-handling needs. Endatix also offers remote or on-site end-user training covering form building, submissions, workflows, roles, and reporting.

Verdict
