The report card
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.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | B | $4.99 a month for 1 form and 1,000 submissions, under 60% of the cheaper quarter of form tools ($12.50). Extra forms are $4.99 each, and the integrations start at $19.50, near the middle ($20). |
| Free plan and trial | C | Free is unlimited forms but only 50 submissions a month, daily notification emails, 1 month of retention and a FormKeep-branded thank-you page. |
| Features | C | A form endpoint, a drag-and-drop designer, spam protection, field rules and integrations. But submissions past each form's limit are ignored, and most extras are on paid plans. |
| Ease of use | C | No rating on record. You build or connect a form and then set up where the entries go. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web only, but it connects to Google Sheets, Slack, Zapier and webhooks. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.

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

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.
