Can I open-source Maze?
NOT REALLY · nothing credible yetNo credible open-source replacement for Maze yet — Formbricks are the closest escape hatches, but they don't cross the moat. People still pay for Maze because people pay either for access to participants or for a research repository that keeps evidence usable across an organization. The recurring cost buys recruitment, consent, scheduling, media storage, transcription, tagging consistency, notifications, search, and retention, not just the visible interface.

Maze costs about $99/month (Starter, checked 2026-07-31), which is $1188 per year.
What do I lose by replacing Maze?

Yes: Formbricks (Open-source surveys and experience management for in-app, website, and link-based forms)
