Forms capture answers. Onboarding needs a workflow.
Typeform is excellent for surveys, lead capture, and one-time questionnaires. Synerdeck is built for what happens after the contract — when you need clients to complete steps, upload documents, and see progress over days or weeks.
Synerdeck gives agencies reusable templates, magic-link client portals, document collection, automated reminders, and a dashboard that shows who is stuck — without making clients create an account.
Typeform shines at beautiful, one-shot data collection. It is not designed to track ongoing client onboarding, send reminders, or present a branded portal with live progress.
