Static site form backend vs full form platform
Getform is built for static sites. You have an HTML form, you point it at a Getform endpoint, and submissions land in your email or Zapier. Simple setup, gets the job done for that use case.
Sutrena is an API-first platform for pages, forms, analytics, and automations. It creates the forms too, hosts them, stores submissions, and gives you privacy-first analytics on the data. AI agents can manage everything through 67 MCP tools. More features, higher price. The question is whether you need an endpoint or a platform.
For AI agents, Sutrena has 67 MCP tools and a full REST API. Getform was built for humans with static sites — no programmatic API for agents to create forms, no analytics, no agent tooling.
