What is the difference between a FormLogix gadget and a FormLogix form?

The FormLogix form
FormLogix is a form builder with which anyone can create database driven web forms.
Using the form builder you can create an endless array of forms (contact, order, invitation, registration, poll, survey etc.) in a very flexible design. You can either use a template or create the form from scratch. The form builder also allows creating forms in many languages (English, Spanish, Chinese, French, Hebrew, Arabic, Dutch and Russian).

Once someone enters data in your form a new data entry alert is automatically sent to you (email form). In addition to this email other emails may be sent as well (to the form filler or/and to a mailing list) at your request.
All the data entered in your form is stored in a web management tool which allows you to manage your data online (online database). This tool allows you to edit the data, delete, add, export data, import data, correspond with the form filler etc.

In order to use the form publically you will need to buy a subscription. There is a trial period of 30 days in which you can only use the forms privately.
There are no ads or 'powered by' text when the form is submitted – only the FormLogix logo, which appears for a few seconds after the form is submitted.

The FormLogix gadget
The FormLogix gadget is a ready-made form that you can use 'as is'.
The gadgets are only in English and in a certain size. You cannot make any changes in them (you can only choose the background color and email to which the data alerts will be sent to) – So in this respect there is no flexibility.
