## ToolGPA grades

**GPA: 2.4 out of 4**, graded Nov 13, 2026. Airform is a free open-source service that turns an HTML form into an email. The free offer is worded 'for now', the pages describe no dashboard, spam filter or file uploads, and the footer carries a 2018 copyright.

- **Value for money: B.** Free, but it is a bare service: no dashboard, spam filter or uploads on the pages we read, and the site asks for sponsors.
- **Free plan and trial: A.** Free outright with unlimited submissions, though the site says 'for now'.
- **Features: D.** One narrow function, form to email. No dashboard, spam filter or uploads are described.
- **Ease of use: C.** No store rating on record, and it is a web app where the work is writing the form and the server-less setup, so it sits at C.
- **Platforms and integrations: C.** Web only, with framework packages for Angular, React and Vue and no integrations.

## Keep it, or make your own?

**Keep it.** Airform is free, so making your own would save you nothing.
