Best for a form backend with a hosted designer
FormKeep takes submissions from your own form or its designer and sends them by email or to other apps, with 50 free a month. Plans bill per form on top of the base price, submissions over the limit are ignored, and the integrations sit on Professional at $19.50.
Who FormKeep is for
- Fits if you want a form backend with a hosted designer, not just an endpoint
- Works for sites with a handful of forms and low volume
Who FormKeep is not for
- Tight if you're staying free: 50 submissions a month, daily emails and 1 month of retention
- Pricey if you have many forms, with extra forms at $3.30 to $6.50 each a month on top of the base price
- Watch out: submissions beyond a form's monthly limit are ignored, per the pricing page
- Tight if you need integrations or autoresponses, which start at Professional, $19.50
- Watch out: team members and phone support start at Premium, $59

Keep FormKeep, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace FormKeep 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 $59.88 a year.
What you could make
- Forms and templates: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change.
What this rests on. FormKeep’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.
