Form Approvals vs Patronum

Patronum edges out Form Approvals on rating (5.0★ vs 4.7★), but the gap is small enough that pricing fit and feature differentiation should drive the decision more than the headline number.

Pricing entry tiers: Form Approvals at Free of charge with paid features, Patronum at Free of charge trial. Check each app's tier structure for the capacity limits you actually need before deciding — the headline number is the same shape, but the gating shape per tier (seats, usage volume, integrations) varies.

Form Approvals has the larger user base (1,197 reviews vs 31), which usually maps to broader integration coverage, faster bug-fix cadence, and a deeper bench of community workflow patterns. Patronum's smaller cohort can be an advantage for niche workflows where the bigger app has accumulated bloat.

Recommended by size: small/early-stage admins who need fast install and low risk should default to Patronum; mid-market and enterprise admins with specific feature requirements should evaluate both — Form Approvals's 1,197-review base may include the workflow context that matches your specific use case better than Patronum's broader-but-shallower coverage.
