SnagBaneShort answer: Formstack is a mature cloud suite for forms, document generation and e-signatures, with a strong Salesforce offering; workflows come with its Suite plan. SnagBane puts approvals into every form on every plan — including Free — runs on your own server and is priced by company size rather than by builder seats and form counts.

Frequently asked questions
Does SnagBane generate documents?
Every response can be a PDF with answers, signatures and approval history, and it can go to DocuSign, Acrobat Sign or Dropbox Sign after approval. It doesn't merge data into your own Word templates like Formstack Documents.
Formstack is a trademark of its owner; SnagBane is independent software.
