FORMSPREE ALTERNATIVE
Everything Formspree does, without the pricing cliff
Formstork is a form backend for HTML, React, Vue, Svelte and more. Point your form at our endpoint and submissions land in a real dashboard, with spam protection, integrations and a rules engine built in.
What is Formspree?
Formspree is a form backend that lets static sites receive submissions without a server. It is the category incumbent. Its main constraints are a small free tier (50 submissions a month), a steep jump to paid plans, and key features like the rules engine gated behind its most expensive tier.
A dashboard on the free plan
Formspree caps its free tier at 50 submissions a month. Formstork gives you 250, with the same searchable, taggable inbox and CSV plus JSON export, at no cost.
No pricing cliff, no gatekeeping
Formspree jumps to $30/mo for 2,000 submissions and locks its rules engine behind a $90 plan. Formstork Pro is $12/mo for 10,000, with the API, autoresponders, webhooks and rules engine included.
For your whole team, not just developers
Formspree is code-first. Formstork adds a no-code hosted form builder, multi-step forms and conditional fields, so non-technical teammates can ship forms too.

Switching takes one line
There is nothing to migrate. Change your form's action to your Formstork endpoint and you are done. Your existing HTML keeps working.
<form action="https://api.formstork.com/submit" method="POST">
<input type="hidden" name="access_key" value="YOUR_KEY">
<input type="email" name="email" required>
<textarea name="message" required></textarea>
<button>Send</button>
</form>The honest verdict
If you need native Stripe payment collection today, Formspree still has it and we do not (it is on our roadmap). For everything else, a bigger free tier, a real dashboard, a rules engine, a no-code builder, stronger spam protection and lower prices, Formstork comes out ahead.
