−
Some of the main difference are:
 
−
 
 
−
* PageForms will render forms through its Special page. The only exception is the ''autoedit'' parser function that will allow to edit a parameter in a template on a page using Ajax.
 
−
* PageForms renders an edit button on a page. With it you can edit Template parameters on a page.
 
−
* FlexForm can render a form on any page or render several forms on page. It allows for editing multiple Template parameters on a page or different pages.
 
−
* FlexForm will not read the content and template of a page and render an edit form. It does allow for you to create a very simple form that gives you all the freedom to show only relevant information to be edited.
 
−
* FlexForm is designed to handle multiple tasks with one form. Create or edit page(s), send an email, upload one or multiple files or a combination.
 
−
* FlexForm can be combined with the Chameleon skin and Bootstrap (or with custom js/css) to render forms in a popup, tab or collapsible element to create a more user-friendly experience where editing is part of the same page where you are also displaying information.
