Formspree

Formspree is a form backend for static sites. You point an HTML form's action at a Formspree endpoint and it emails you the submissions, handles spam and forwards data to integrations, with no server of your own. Developers on Astro, Hugo, Next.js and plain HTML sites use it. The Free plan gives you 50 submissions a month across your whole account, permanently.

What the free plan gives you

• 50 submissions a month, counted across the account rather than per form
• Unlimited forms and unlimited projects
• Email notifications to up to 2 linked addresses
• 30 days of submission history in the dashboard
• AJAX submissions through the Formspree libraries and basic spam filtering
• Usage alerts at 50%, 75% and 90% of the monthly cap

For a portfolio contact form that gets a handful of messages a week, this covers you indefinitely.

Where the free plan stops

• 50 submissions a month, in total. Two or three moderately busy forms will exhaust it, and Formspree stops accepting submissions until the month rolls over.
• 2 notification addresses and 30 days of history, so no long-term archive.
• File uploads, unlimited linked emails and team collaboration are all paid features.

Formspree's paid tiers were not readable from its pricing page at the time of checking, and third-party trackers disagree on whether the entry plan is $10 or $15 a month, so treat the exact price as unconfirmed. What the vendor does state is that paid plans add unlimited linked emails, longer retention, file upload storage and team features.

Who it suits

Free is right for a personal site, a portfolio or a single low-traffic contact form. A business site, a lead-gen landing page or anything with file attachments should check the current paid pricing directly, because the 50-submission cap is account-wide and unforgiving.
