Formspree is a form backend for developers: you point your own HTML or JavaScript form at a Formspree endpoint and it handles spam filtering, storage and email notifications. It is free for 50 submissions a month, and paid plans start at $15 a month, or $10 a month billed yearly.

The bottom line

Use it free for prototypes and small sites; budget for Personal or Professional once real traffic arrives.

What it is, and why we rate it

One line each. Open a row for detail.

What it really isA hosted endpoint that turns any coded form into email alerts, stored submissions and integrations.
Our takeFormspree is the shortest path from a static HTML form to a working contact form.
You keep full control of the markup, and spam filtering and storage come built in. The catch is volume: 50 free submissions a month disappears fast on a live business site, and API access waits until the $30 plan.
Why we rate itIt removes the need to run a server for forms and covers spam, storage and notifications out of the box.
The catchThe free plan's 50 submissions a month is low, and the API and autoresponses need Professional.
