Our take
Pick Formbricks if product teams who will stay on Hobby $0 (1 workspace, 250 responses/month, no card) while they ship a first link survey, then buy Pro at $89/month when they need 2,000 responses, 3 workspaces, and contact segments. Pick Listmonk if teams who will self-host at $0 (one binary + Postgres) while they open a first Lists table, then stay on that bill when they send campaigns and transactional mail
