Which one is for you

Pick Formspree if

  • Fits if you can paste an HTML form and want submissions emailed to you
  • Works for small sites that get a few dozen messages a month

Look elsewhere if

  • Skip it if you want to build forms with drag and drop, as there is no visual builder
  • Tight if you stay free, with 50 submissions a month and a 30-day archive
  • Watch out: file uploads, export and search are not on Free, and API access needs Professional
  • Pricey if you grow, as submissions are capped at 200, 2,000 and 20,000 across Personal, Professional and Business

Pick OpnForm if

  • Fits if you want unlimited submissions with no per-response fees
  • Works for developers wiring forms up with webhooks and an API, or teams self-hosting an open-source builder

Look elsewhere if

  • Not for you if the branding has to go and you won't pay, since removing it and custom domains need Pro at $25 a month
  • Tight if you self-host with a team: the free edition allows 2 users per instance, and more need a $1,999-a-year license
  • Skip it if you want to trial the paid features first, because there's no automated trial
  • Pricey if you need roles, partial submissions or HubSpot, Salesforce and Airtable, which start at Business at $67
  • Watch out: e-signatures aren't on record, free uploads stop at 10 MB, and the AI form builder and analytics are paid

How we grade them

2.4GPAFormspreeFair2.8GPAOpnFormGood
Value for money
BPersonal is $10 a month billed yearly, inside the cheapest quarter of $14. It allows 200 submissions.
C$25 a month billed yearly sits right on this category's $24 middle, and that's what removes the branding and adds custom domains, password protection and analytics. Roles and the HubSpot and Salesforce integrations mean Business at $67.
Free plan and trial
CFree gives unlimited forms but 50 submissions a month, one team member and a 30-day archive, without uploads, export or search.
ANo usage wall: unlimited forms and unlimited submissions, with logic, computed fields, webhooks, API access and basic integrations, where most of this category meters responses. The catch is OpnForm's badge, 1 workspace and 10 MB uploads.
Features
CSpam protection, storage, plugins, routing rules and an API cover the backend job. There is no visual form builder, and API access needs Professional.
BIt covers the whole job: classic or conversational layouts, multi-step forms, logic, validation, computed fields, pre-fills, Stripe payments, password protection, expiry and captcha. E-signatures aren't on record, which several rivals here do have.
Ease of use
CNo store rating on record. You write the form in HTML or code and point it at Formspree.
CNo store rating on record, and a form is a build: fields dragged in, logic and computed fields set up, then publishing. Hosting it yourself is a bigger job again, and the AI that would draft one for you is paid.
Platforms and integrations
BWeb only, with Google Sheets, Trello, Klaviyo, HubSpot and Zendesk, plus an API on Professional.
BWeb, with email, webhooks, Zapier, Google Sheets and API tokens on the free plan. Slack, Discord and Telegram need Pro, HubSpot and Salesforce Business. No apps of its own.

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.
