- Works for developers who prefer an API to a form builder
Look elsewhere if

- Skip it if you want drag-and-drop, since you write the form yourself

Pick Web3Forms if
- Fits if you have a static site and want form entries in your inbox without a server
- Works for developers happy to paste an access key into HTML
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you want to know the free plan's limits first, since we couldn't read the pricing page
- Tight if you need autoresponders, webhooks or attachments, which need a paid subscription
- Watch out: submissions are forwarded, not stored, so there's no archive to go back to
- Watch out: the docs put its servers in the US East region
- Too light for anyone who wants a form builder, as the listing shows none

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
