Formspree vs Web3Forms (2026): which should you pick?

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 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

Formspree

• There is no visual form builder; forms are written in HTML or code.
• Plans are capped by submissions: 50 on Free, 200 on Personal, 2,000 on Professional and 20,000 on Business.
• File uploads, export and search are not on the Free plan, and API access needs Professional.
• Free plan submissions older than 30 days drop out of the dashboard view.

Web3Forms

• The pricing page returned a bot check, so plan prices and limits were not verified.
• Reply-to domain restriction, reCAPTCHA, Turnstile, autoresponder, webhooks and attachments need a paid subscription.
• The docs say submissions are forwarded rather than stored, and servers are in the US East region.
