Feder and Jotform: keep Jotform, check its numbers.
No, Feder is not a replacement for Jotform. Keep Jotform. Feder sits beside it and checks whether the numbers it shows can be trusted, by reading what happened at the source and comparing it with your own history.
Why would I need this?
Because the question is not what the number is. It is whether you can trust it.
Is Feder an alternative to Jotform?
No. Jotform is an online form builder with powerful forms that get it done. Feder does a different job: it watches the numbers your tools record and says when one cannot be trusted. Nothing here asks you to switch.
Do I need Feder if I have Jotform?
They do different jobs, so one does not stand in for the other. Keep Jotform for the job it does. Feder's job is to say when a number your tools record has gone quiet or moved outside your own history.
What does Jotform do better?
Jotform can close a form on its own once it has taken a set number of submissions.
In Jotform's words:
Automatically closes your form after it receives a specified number of submissions.
