Different problems, different tools
Formbricks is an open-source survey platform. It lives inside your app. You target users by behavior, trigger surveys at specific moments, and analyze NPS and CSAT scores. It is good at that.
Sutrena is an API-first platform for pages, forms, analytics, and automations. You send JSON to an API and get a hosted form back. You collect submissions, run automations, and AI agents can do the whole thing through 67 MCP tools. No in-app widget, no user targeting. If you are choosing between them, the question is probably what problem you are solving.
For AI agents, Sutrena has 67 MCP tools and a full REST API. Formbricks was built for humans doing user research — no programmatic API for agents to create surveys, focused on in-product feedback flows.
