Comparison
The Formkeep alternative for forms that go more than one place
Formkeep prices by how many forms you run, with extra forms billed individually above the included count. WebForms plans are unlimited forms from the free tier up.
Formkeep has been running since 2014 and its pricing reflects an older model for this category: each plan bundles a small number of forms, and every form beyond that is billed separately per month. For a single contact form that is invisible, but a team running a dozen forms across a few projects pays for every one of them individually once past the included count.
The plans themselves are straightforward - realtime notifications, field rules and integrations unlock as you move up - but the per-form charge is the detail worth checking against your actual form count before comparing headline prices.
WebForms plans include unlimited forms at every tier, including free. What you pay for is the submission volume across all of them combined, plus fan-out to more destinations than a single inbox.
When to stay with Formkeep
Switching has a real cost. These are the cases where we would not bother.
- You genuinely run one or two forms and never expect to add more. The per-form charge never applies to you.
- You want phone support, which Formkeep includes on its top two tiers.
- A decade of operating history matters for a procurement review.
