Is FormSubmit a Formspree alternative?

Yes. FormSubmit covers the same core job — receiving website form submissions and delivering them to email and other tools — with every integration and spam protection included on every plan.

Yes. As of October 2026, Formspree's free plan includes unlimited forms and 50 submissions per month, with a 30-day submission archive, basic spam filtering and email, Slack, Discord and Telegram plugins. File uploads are not included on Free. Formspree describes the free plan as being for testing and development.

How much does Formspree cost?

As of October 2026, Formspree lists Personal at $10/month billed yearly (200 submissions/month), Professional at $20/month billed yearly (2,000) and Business at $60/month billed yearly (20,000). Monthly billing costs more. Check formspree.io/plans for current prices.

How does FormSubmit's pricing compare with Formspree's?

FormSubmit's Free plan also has 50 submissions per month (1 form). Paid plans are $10/month for 500 submissions, $25/month for 2,500 and $50/month for 10,000 (two months free on yearly billing), and every plan includes webhooks, integrations and file uploads.

How hard is it to switch from Formspree?

For HTML forms it usually means changing one attribute: the form's action URL. Field names stay the same, so emails and integrations keep working. JavaScript forms change one fetch URL.

Formspree Alternative: FormSubmit vs Formspree (2026)

FormSubmit and Formspree both help you collect form submissions without building your own backend, but they take different approaches. Formspree is one of the longest-running hosted form backends, popular with developers and static-site users. FormSubmit is a headless form backend: you keep full control of your form's HTML and design, and every plan — including Free — includes spam protection, file uploads, webhooks and all integrations.

About Formspree

Formspree popularised the idea of pointing an HTML form at a hosted endpoint, and it offers a mature product with its own React library and a range of plugins and workflows.

What FormSubmit does differently

Every integration — webhooks, Slack, Discord, Google Sheets, Airtable, Mailchimp and Kit — is included on the free plan, rather than reserved for higher tiers.
Submissions over your monthly limit are stored (locked) rather than rejected, so you never lose a lead because of a quota.
Google Sheets uses the minimal drive.file permission.
A free visual form generator exports code for 13 targets, plus AI prompts for Lovable, v0, Bolt and Cursor.

When to choose Formspree

You want a long-established vendor, rely on Formspree-specific libraries or premium plugins (such as Stripe, HubSpot or Salesforce), need 20,000 submissions a month on one plan, or your team already has workflows built around it.

When to choose FormSubmit

You want your form to look exactly like the rest of your site.
You want integrations, captcha and spam protection without upgrading.
You care about privacy details: hashed IPs, encrypted secrets, private files, minimal Google permissions and configurable retention.
You build many sites (agency, freelancer) and want one dashboard for all of them.

How to switch

Create a FormSubmit form.
Replace the form's action URL (or your fetch URL) with your FormSubmit endpoint.
Keep your field names — emails and exports will look the same.
Recreate integrations in the form's Integrations tab and send a test.
