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 the web runtime for AI agents. It creates the forms too, hosts them, stores submissions, and lets you build dashboards on the data. AI agents can manage everything through 44 MCP tools. More features, higher price. The question is whether you need an endpoint or a platform.
For AI agents, Sutrena has 44 MCP tools and a full REST API. Getform was built for humans with static sites — no programmatic API for agents to create forms, no dashboards, no agent tooling.

Sutrena is the web runtime for AI agents. Three primitives — pages, forms, and dashboards — accessible through one API. Your agent creates web artifacts, humans interact with them, and your agent gets the data back. Framework-agnostic. Works from any MCP client or HTTP client.
