Is FormSubmit a Web3Forms 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, Web3Forms' free plan includes unlimited forms, 250 submissions per month, unlimited domains, hCaptcha and a honeypot, with 30 days of submission history. File uploads, reCAPTCHA and Turnstile, autoresponders, webhooks and integrations are paid features.

How much does Web3Forms cost?

Web3Forms' pricing page lists Pro with 10k submissions a month and Agency & Team with 20k. Prices are shown in your local currency, so check web3forms.com/pricing for the current price where you are.

Which has the bigger free plan, FormSubmit or Web3Forms?

Web3Forms, by submissions: 250 a month with unlimited forms, compared with FormSubmit's 1 form and 50 submissions. FormSubmit's free plan includes file uploads, webhooks and every integration, which are paid features on Web3Forms.

How hard is it to switch from Web3Forms?

For HTML forms it usually means changing the form's action URL and removing the hidden access_key field. Field names stay the same. JavaScript forms change one fetch URL.

Web3Forms Alternative: FormSubmit vs Web3Forms (2026)

FormSubmit and Web3Forms both help you collect form submissions without building your own backend, but they take different approaches. Web3Forms is a form API known for a generous free tier and a simple access-key model. 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.

Limits

Web3Forms Free: 250 submissions a month and 30 days of submission history. File attachments, reCAPTCHA and Turnstile, autoresponders, domain restriction, webhooks and integrations need a paid plan. The default uploader takes single files up to 5 MB, per its file attachment docs.
FormSubmit: 1 form and 50 submissions a month on Free. Files can be up to 10 MB each (25 MB on Pro and Business). Spam doesn't count toward the quota. Over-limit submissions are stored but locked until you upgrade or the month resets.

When to choose Web3Forms

You need only email delivery for simple forms, want more than 50 free submissions a month or many forms on a free plan, and don't need file uploads or integrations. Web3Forms' free plan is generous for that.

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.
