Building a basic form for collecting feedback seems easy — until you actually try to do it well.

You want it to:

  • Look clean across devices,
  • Load instantly,
  • Be engaging enough for people to actually respond,
  • And respect users' privacy.

But most feedback tools either overcomplicate things or charge you a premium to solve these basics. That’s the problem OnionPulse was born to address.

Where Most Form Builders Fall Short

Most form platforms fall into one of three traps:

1. Too Much Bloat

You get a drag-and-drop builder with hundreds of options, but it loads slowly, looks generic, and doesn't integrate naturally with your brand.

2. Too Expensive

Many platforms charge in USD with high minimums. For startups, small businesses, or solo creators ' especially across Africa ' that’s just not sustainable.

3. Too Rigid

Want to test two versions of a message? Or run a feedback loop without sending people to a clunky form page? You’ll often need to hack it together or pay for the “pro” plan.

We believe collecting feedback should be fast, focused, and fair — not locked behind bloated subscriptions.

Designing for Accessibility and Real Feedback

We’re building OnionPulse to flip the script. Here's how:

  • Minimal by default — Clean UI, optimized for fast loading and clear feedback.
  • Feedback-first UX — Every form is short, mobile-friendly, and instantly embeddable.
  • Privacy built-in — No third-party trackers. Just honest, opt-in data collection.
  • Africa-first pricing — We're designing our pricing model to be sustainable for startups in Lagos, Nairobi, Accra, and beyond.

This Is Just the Start

Whether you're building a new product or launching a campaign, access to meaningful feedback shouldn't be a luxury. We're creating a tool that works globally, but prioritizes accessibility for regions often overlooked.

We're still early, but our mission is clear: make feedback tools lightweight, affordable, and empowering — without compromise.
