Best for forms on your own HTML that you pay for once
Formspark takes submissions from your own HTML form and emails or forwards them, with 250 free and a $25 one-time bundle of 50,000. It doesn't build forms for you, and the autoresponder, REST API and branding removal all need the paid bundle.
Who Formspark is for
- Fits if you can paste a form into your own site and want to pay once
- Works for small projects with a few thousand submissions
Who Formspark is not for
- Skip it if you want a drag-and-drop builder, as there isn't one
- Tight if you're staying free: 250 submissions, with no autoresponder, REST API or branding removal
- Watch out: bundles are bought per workspace, and a new workspace starts at 0 submissions
- Watch out: Google Sheets and Notion are on the paid bundle only
- Tight if you want support, as the free plan has community help only
Why Formspark gets a 2.6
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- AValue for money$25 one time for 50,000 submissions, a fraction of a year of the middle form subscription ($20 a month). The page shows $50 crossed out, with no end date.
- CFree plan and trialFree gives 250 submissions, 10 forms and 5 team members, with spam filtering and webhooks. Formspark branding stays and there's no autoresponder or REST API.
- CFeaturesA form endpoint, spam filtering, delivery, archive and export. It stores and forwards only, with no visual form builder, which is a smaller job than the category's.
- CEase of useNo rating on record. You write the form's HTML yourself and point it at Formspark.
- BPlatforms and integrationsWeb only, but it connects to Slack, Zapier, Make, Google Sheets, Notion and Webflow.

Keep Formspark, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Formspark 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 $25, paid once.
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. Formspark’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.
What is Formspark?
Formspark is a hosted form backend: you point the action of your own HTML form at a Formspark endpoint, and each submission is screened for spam, stored and delivered to email, Slack, Google Sheets, Notion or a webhook. It does not provide a form builder, so you keep your own markup and styling. Paid capacity is sold as one-time submission bundles instead of a subscription.
Worth knowing
- It stores and forwards submissions only; there is no visual form builder.
- The free plan stops at 250 submissions, and the autoresponder, REST API, Google Sheets, Notion and branding removal are on the paid bundle only.
- Additional workspaces start with 0 submissions, and bundles are bought per workspace.
- Support is community-only on the free plan.
Key features
- Endpoint for your own form
- Set the form's action to a Formspark endpoint and keep your own markup. JavaScript is optional.
- Spam filtering
- Automatic filtering is on for every plan, with custom spam words, a honeypot and support for Botpoison, hCaptcha, reCAPTCHA and Turnstile.
- Delivery and integrations
- Submissions go to email, Slack, Zapier, Make, webhooks, and on the paid bundle to Google Sheets and Notion.
- Archive, export and analytics
- Submissions are kept in a dashboard, exportable as CSV or JSON, with analytics by day and by country.
- Workspaces and roles
- Workspaces can hold clients' forms, and members join as admins, editors or viewers.
