Comparison
The Formcarry alternative for forms that go more than one place
Formcarry is a developer-focused endpoint service with its own integration-call metering. WebForms adds conditional routing and per-attempt delivery visibility.
Formcarry is built for developers: unlimited forms on every paid plan, your own SMTP server if you want it, and white-label support down to the Starter tier. Its integrations are metered separately from submissions, counted as integration calls per month, which is a detail worth checking if you plan to push every submission through several connected apps.
What is not part of the product is conditional routing or a per-destination delivery log. Submissions go to the same configured destinations every time, and there is no dashboard record of what response a webhook returned versus what an email send did.
WebForms fans a submission out to email, Slack, Discord, Telegram and webhooks together, can route it differently based on field values, and logs every delivery attempt with its status and response so a missing notification is diagnosable.
When to stay with Formcarry
Switching has a real cost. These are the cases where we would not bother.
- You want to send from your own SMTP server rather than a shared sending domain, which Formcarry supports from its lowest paid tier.
- White-labelling matters to you on a smaller budget. Formcarry includes it starting at Starter rather than gating it to a top tier.
- You want a yearly-only entry plan below our own lowest paid price - their Starter tier is five dollars a month billed annually.

Questions
The markup change is one line per form, since both use a plain endpoint URL. Recreating destinations in the dashboard is the bulk of the work.
Export them from Formcarry first. We do not import from other providers, but everything after the switch is stored and searchable here.
Conditional routing and the delivery log. Rules send a submission to different destinations based on its field values, and every attempt to every destination is recorded with status, response and retries.
