Sutrena vs Jotform

Massive form builder vs a form API

Jotform is huge. 10,000+ templates, drag-and-drop editor, payment collection, PDF generation, mobile app. If you want a visual form builder with every feature you can think of, Jotform probably has it.

Sutrena is the web runtime for AI agents. You send JSON, get a hosted form, collect submissions, build dashboards. AI agents can handle the whole thing through 44 MCP tools. No visual editor, no 10,000 templates. Just an API that does what you tell it.

For AI agents, Sutrena has 44 MCP tools and a full REST API. Jotform was built for humans designing forms visually — no programmatic API for agents to create forms, no framework-agnostic automation.

What is Sutrena?

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.

Get started in two API calls

1. Get a trial key (no auth, no signup)

curl -X POST https://sutrena.com/api/trial

2. Create a form + dashboard from a template

curl -X POST https://sutrena.com/api/forms \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer st_trial_xxx" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"templateId": "waitlist", "createDashboard": true}'

Want to try it?

Grab a trial API key. No signup, no credit card. Point your agent at it and see what happens.
