DailyBuddy

What it is

DailyBuddy is a web-based productivity suite for freelancers and small teams, and Forms is the app this entry is about. Forms is a drag-and-drop form builder for people who want to publish contact forms, multi-step surveys and signature forms without writing code. The operator is DailyBuddy SB Code UG (haftungsbeschränkt), a German company, and the site says the platform is developed, hosted and run in Germany.

What sets it apart is where the data lives. The company's pages state that all form data is stored exclusively in certified EU data centers in Germany, with no data transfer to the USA and no US parent company processing it in the background. Forms is one of 9 apps that share a single login and a single price, so a founder or small office gets a form builder plus project boards, task lists, secure file transfer and more in one account.

What you build and how

You build forms in a drag-and-drop editor. The company lists contact forms, multi-step surveys and signature forms as the typical results, and describes everything from a quick feedback form to a structured onboarding workflow with conditional logic.

Conditional logic means fields can be shown or hidden depending on earlier answers, which keeps a long form short for each respondent. Multi-step forms split a longer questionnaire across screens. The signature field lets a respondent sign directly in the browser by freehand drawing, with the date and name filled in automatically, and the signature is embedded as an image in the PDF export.

Publishing is a public link. Respondents open it in a browser and fill the form in without creating an account or logging in. Each form can be activated, paused or deactivated at any time; a paused form is no longer reachable through its public link until you switch it back on.

Submissions land in a table inside the app. You can download a single submission as a PDF or export the whole data set as a CSV file that opens in Excel. Email notifications are part of the package, and the company's comparison table marks them as included rather than gated behind a paid tier.

Because Forms is one app of 9, the rest of the suite is where DailyBuddy goes beyond a pure form tool:

• Projects gives small teams shared boards and a timeline, aimed at practicality rather than feature overload.
• Tasks covers to-do lists with subtasks and reminders.
• Send handles confidential message and file transfer.
• Favorites is a bookmark manager.
• Books is a knowledge base app.
• PDF Tools handles document editing.
• Game Sheet manages detailed game information.
• A WordPress plugin bundles functions such as duplicating posts, maintenance mode, media organization, custom widgets and Elementor extensions.

Everything runs in the browser on desktop, tablet and mobile, with nothing to install. The company says it keeps AI out of the product: its pitch is "no pointless AI in every corner."

The evidence from the pages

Pricing. The pricing sits on the home page: 12 euros a month, or 144 euros a year, for every app. The site says there are no premium tiers locking features behind a higher plan, and its FAQ confirms that Forms is included in every DailyBuddy plan together with Projects, Tasks, Send, Favorites and PDF Tools. A 30-day free trial needs no credit card, there are no long-term contracts, and after a cancellation you keep access until the end of the billing period.

The company's own cost comparison. The page prices a typical freelancer stack per person per month: project management with Asana or Monday at 10 euros, task management with Todoist at 4, file transfer with Bitwarden Send at 5, bookmarks with Raindrop.io at 3, PDF editing with Smallpdf at 9, forms with Typeform at 25 and a knowledge base with Notion at 8. That totals 64 euros a month or 768 euros a year, against 12 euros a month or 144 euros a year for DailyBuddy, a saving the page puts at 624 euros a year. These are DailyBuddy's own figures for other vendors, so check them against current price lists before you rely on them. The page adds that even three of the tools together, for example Asana, Bitwarden Send and Smallpdf, add up to 24 euros a month.

The form-builder comparison. On the Forms page DailyBuddy sets itself against Typeform and Google Forms, citing public information from typeform.com/pricing. It says Typeform and Google Forms require a data processing agreement and keep servers in the USA, while DailyBuddy hosts in Germany. It marks conditional logic as limited in Google Forms, PDF export as available "on request" in DailyBuddy and only in the paid plan in Typeform, and email notifications as limited in Google Forms and paid-only in Typeform. Treat this as the vendor's own table, not a neutral test.

Compliance. The company calls the product GDPR compliant and "Made in Germany" and stresses that the data never leaves German servers. That is the company's own claim, so a regulated buyer should ask for the paperwork behind it.

Support and developer access. Support runs through a contact page, and the company says it answers personally with no chatbots and no ticket queues. The FAQ says an API is planned for a future update and invites teams that need one to say so through the contact page.

Who it suits and who it does not

DailyBuddy suits freelancers and small European teams that already pay for several single-purpose tools and would rather have forms, tasks, projects and file transfer under one login and one invoice. It also fits anyone whose clients ask where form data is stored, because the answer is a single, specific one: Germany. Intake forms, feedback forms, onboarding questionnaires and signed agreements are the jobs the app is shaped around.

It is a lean tool by design. The company sells the suite on simplicity, with no AI features and no premium tiers, so a team that wants AI-drafted forms or forms wired into a long list of other apps should compare larger builders. The API is only planned, so automation through code is not on offer yet, and the product is a hosted service run by the company in Germany rather than something you install yourself.

The flat price is the main attraction and the main limit at once: you pay 12 euros for the suite whether you use Forms alone or all 9 apps. For a team that only needs a form builder, the suite is more than they need, though the company's argument is that the suite price still undercuts one standalone subscription such as Typeform at 25 euros.
