Best for sending form submissions to email and apps
FormBold gives your own HTML form somewhere to send its submissions, with a free plan of 250 a month and paid plans from $6 a month on yearly billing. The free plan has no file uploads, integrations or CSV export, and you only get one team member on it.
Who FormBold is for
- Fits if you have your own HTML form and want entries sent to email or Slack
- Works for a small site that gets under 250 submissions a month
Who FormBold is not for
- Skip it if you want a drag-and-drop form builder, since it's a backend for forms you make
- Tight if you're staying free, as there are no file uploads, integrations or CSV export
- Watch out: CSV export, autoresponder and custom branding start at Premium, $15 a month
- Watch out: the listed prices are yearly-billed, with no monthly price seen on the page
- Tight if you need more than 1 member, which the free plan doesn't allow

Keep FormBold, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace FormBold you would be making connections to other products, each kept working as those products change. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 2.6 is higher than 41 of the 60 other form and survey tools we grade. It costs $72 a year.
What you could make
- Forms: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change.
What this rests on. FormBold’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
