# Formcarry review (2026): is the free plan enough?

> Form backend that emails HTML form submissions and stores them

Checked Nov 13, 2026 · graded Nov 13, 2026 by ToolGPA.

Formcarry gives an HTML form a hosted endpoint, so a static site can collect submissions without its own server. It filters spam, stores entries and emails them to the site owner, and can forward them to other tools. Plans are priced by submissions per month, and a REST API and an MCP server for AI apps are included.

## Key features

- **Spam filtering:** The vendor says submissions are screened for spam before they are stored and sent to you.
- **File uploads:** Uploads are included from the free plan, with storage of 1 GB on Starter rising to 30 GB on Premium.
- **Integrations:** Built-in connections to Slack, Discord, Notion, Airtable, Mailchimp, Google Sheets and Twilio, counted as integration calls on paid plans.
- **REST API and MCP server:** A REST API covers forms, submissions and webhooks, and an MCP server lets AI apps such as Claude manage forms.
- **Form generators:** The site offers generators for contact, survey, RSVP and sales lead forms.

## Good for

- Developers who prefer an API over a form builder
- Small sites that stay under a few hundred submissions a month

## Worth knowing

- Integration calls are capped per plan: 500 a month on Starter, 10,000 on Premium.
- Team members are capped at 3, 5 and 20 on the paid plans.
- It is a backend for forms you write yourself, not a drag-and-drop form builder.

## Keep it, or make your own?

**Keep it.** To replace Formcarry 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 costs $60 a year.

- You could make: Forms: an app builder makes this well.
- You could not: Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change.
