FOrmcycle VS PAPERLESS

Why should you switch to a FORMCYCLE alternative?

There is currently a lot of movement in the forms market. Counties, cities and local authorities want to finally free themselves from the outdated and dusty IT landscape and introduce modern solutions. The desire for no- & low-code solutions is greater than ever before. And even though FORMCYCLE describes itself as a "low-code platform of the first hour", users often encounter barriers that require prior technical knowledge.

Ease of use

Users who are familiar with both Paperless and FORMCYCLE report that Paperless is significantly more user-friendly. Thanks to the simple interface, clear functions and intuitive editor with a wide range of design and layout options, getting started is extremely smooth.

Powerful Rules-Engine

Hardly any two use cases are the same. Administrative users always have individual requirements that need to be mapped quickly and easily. Users of FORMCYCLE report complex handling and the need for in-house specialists to implement intelligent rules on the platform. With Paperless' powerful rules engine, we enable even technically averse users to create intelligent forms.

Time-to-Market

The law is driving the digitalization of services in public administration, in particular through the OZG or BFSG. In addition, the effectiveness of a new software solution depends largely on the time required for its implementation and training. The quicker these steps are completed, the faster the investment pays for itself. Paperless can be rolled out in less than 4 weeks.

Pricing

The costs for FORMCYCLE for public authorities can vary greatly. Depending on the scope of use, these can quickly rise sharply. The basic price is €349 per month for 5 active forms. Paperless does not limit its users to active forms and is available with a comparable range of functions from €149/month.
