Formspree
What it is
Formspree receives website form submissions without requiring a backend, sending them to email, its inbox dashboard and connected integrations. Users provide their own markup, styles and scripts instead of relying on a built-in editor. The inbox stores submissions for review, daily analytics reports and CSV or JSON export. Spam filtering runs on every submission and can be tuned, with CAPTCHA options available. A workflow builder handles validation, field mapping, third-party actions and automatic delivery retries. Plugins connect with Slack, Discord, Google Sheets, Airtable, HubSpot, Salesforce, Mailchimp, Stripe, Zapier and webhooks. Developer tools include a Forms API, React and AJAX libraries, and a command-line interface for JavaScript workflows. Security details include AES-256 encryption at rest, TLS 1.2 or higher for browser traffic, and salted, hashed passwords. The free plan is free with 50 submissions monthly, one team member and a 30-day archive, but no file uploads. Paid pricing is listed from $10/mo; Personal costs $15 a month or $120/year ($10/month billed annually).
