Formaloo Form-First Fit Filter
Formaloo's core is form-first: every client portal, approval workflow, and PDF generation starts from a form. Before committing to a multi-client retainer, agencies should run each prospective client through a fit filter that checks whether their core operational need is data collection and document routing. For example, a healthcare clinic needing branded intake forms, conditional logic, and automated PDF summaries is a strong fit, and the $29/month Business plan (annual) removes Formaloo branding and enables custom domains, supporting white-label retainers. But a client whose primary need is project management or file collaboration will fight the form-centric model, and agencies will burn hours forcing workflows. Use the filter to qualify clients early, avoiding scope creep and protecting margins on delivery retainers.
