GETFORM ALTERNATIVE

Everything Getform does, with a free tier that goes further

Formstork is a form backend for HTML, React, Vue, Svelte and more. Point your form at our endpoint and submissions land in a searchable dashboard, with spam protection, free integrations and a rules engine built in.

What is Getform?

Getform is a headless form backend that collects submissions, blocks spam, stores files and sends notifications; it rebranded to Forminit in January 2026. Its free plan is capped at 100 submissions a month with 30-day retention, and it is API-only with no hosted no-code builder.

A bigger free plan

Getform's free tier stops at 100 submissions a month and archives them for 30 days. Formstork gives you 250 a month kept for 90 days, with the same spam filtering and CSV export, no card needed.

Notifications and integrations without the paywall

Getform keeps native Slack and Discord notifications and webhooks on its paid Pro plan. Formstork ships Slack, Discord, Telegram, Sheets, Notion and HMAC webhooks free on every plan.

A hosted builder, not just an API

Getform is a headless backend, so you bring your own form markup. Formstork adds a no-code hosted builder with multi-step and conditional fields, while still working as a plain endpoint.

Switching takes one line

Point your form's action at your Formstork endpoint and use your access key. There is no data migration and your existing markup 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

Getform includes file uploads and Zapier even on its free plan and adds explicit CCPA coverage alongside GDPR, so if those matter on day one it has an edge. For a larger free tier, free integrations, a hosted builder, SDKs with an MCP server and lower prices at 10,000 submissions, Formstork comes out ahead.
