Part 01 · Overview

Welcome

What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first

2.4

GPA, above 88 of the 148 other form and survey tools we grade

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.

To get you started, here are 9 things to know about Formcarry, taken from its own pages and our grades.

No store rating on record, and it is a web app where the work is writing the form and wiring it up, so it sits at C.

Keep it, or make your own?

Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.

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.

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. Formcarry’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.
