Keep Pixel and CAPI aligned
Use one event ID for the browser and server Lead event so Meta can deduplicate properly.

The short version
Pick based on the job, not the category.
The best Meta Ads form builder is not the one with the most field types. It is the one that gives Meta a reliable Lead signal and helps sales avoid bad-fit submissions.

Frequently asked questions
Why not just use Meta Instant Forms?v
Instant Forms are useful for volume, but owned funnels give you more control over qualification, CRM payload, page experience and consent.
Do I need both Pixel and CAPI?v
For many advertisers, yes. Meta documents Pixel plus Conversions API as a redundant setup that requires deduplication.
What should I measure first?v
Measure qualified lead rate, not only submission rate. A cheaper raw lead can still be expensive if sales cannot close it.
