Every form backend, in one table
A form backend receives what your HTML form posts and does something useful with it. These are the services that do that as their main job. Form builders like Typeform and Google Forms are a different category and are not listed here.
Prices were copied from each service's own pricing page. The oldest figure here was checked on , so confirm the current price at the source before you decide.
| Service | Free tier | Cheapest paid | Best at | Checked |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| WebForms (this site) | 300 / month, email | $5 / month (12,000 / month) | Routing one submission to several destinations, with a delivery log | Live |
| Formspree | 50 / month | $15 / month, 200 / month. $10 / month billed yearly | You want native plugins for CRMs and helpdesks like Salesforce, HubSpot, Zendesk or Gorgias. Formspree ships those; we would have you reach them through a webhook or an automation platform. | |
| Web3Forms | 250 / month | EUR 50 / year, 5,000 / month. Yearly only, for students and non-profits | You do not want to manage an account. Web3Forms issues an access key to a verified email address, and that key in the markup is all a form needs. | |
| Getform now Forminit | 100 / month | $19 / month, 5,000 / month. $15.83 / month billed yearly | You are already using their integrations and they cover everything you need. Migrating for its own sake is wasted effort. | |
| Basin | 50 / month | $15 / month, 250 / month. $12.50 / month billed yearly | You want an AI-generated microsite with hosting and a custom domain bundled into the same subscription as your form backend. | |
| Formcarry | 50 / month | $5 / month, 500 / month. Billed annually only; no monthly option for this tier | You want to send from your own SMTP server rather than a shared sending domain, which Formcarry supports from its lowest paid tier. | |
| Formspark | 250 total | $25 one-time, 50,000 total. Prepaid bundle, does not expire; buy another when spent | You want to pay once and be done, with no subscription to remember to cancel. Formspark's bundles do not expire. | |
| FormBackend | 50 / month | $5 / month, 1,000 / month. $4.17 / month billed yearly | You want a rules engine for custom email routing, which they offer starting at the Freelancer tier, one step above entry. | |
| KwesForms | 100 / month | $19 / month, 1,000 / month | You want a form-building toolkit, not just a backend. Their datepickers, multistep flows and repeater fields are real product surface we do not have. | |
| Formkeep | 50 / month | $4.99 / month, 1,000 / month. 1 form included, $4.99 per additional form | You genuinely run one or two forms and never expect to add more. The per-form charge never applies to you. | |
| Slapform | 50 / month | $5 / month, 500 / month. Plus $0.01 per submission over quota; $60 billed annually | Your monthly submission count is small and predictable, low enough that the per-submission overage rate never actually triggers. | |
| FormBucket | None | $19 / month, Unlimited. Single flat-rate plan after a 14-day free trial; no tiers | You want one flat unlimited price with nothing to think about beyond nineteen dollars a month. | |
| FormSubmit | Free, email only | No paid tier | You want the absolute minimum: no account, no dashboard, nothing to configure beyond an email address in the action attribute. | No table |
| Netlify Forms | Unlimited | $9 / month, Unlimited. Netlify's paid hosting tier; forms are not metered separately from it | You already host on Netlify and want form handling with literally zero extra configuration: no endpoint, no signup, nothing but an HTML attribute. |
"Best at" is the first thing each service does better than WebForms, taken from our comparison with it. Every comparison page lists the rest. Currencies are shown as each service quotes them.
