Why teams switch to FormLoom
- Their MCP manages forms; FormLoom's get_snippet generates framework-correct code with a provisioned key — the wedge.
- Free tier is 50/mo vs 250/mo.
- FormLoom ships a free webhook and forever storage even on free.
Where FormBackend wins
FormBackend ships an MCP server — credit where due. But it's a form-management MCP ('list my forms', 'read submissions'), not a codegen MCP that wires framework-correct client code into your repo.
