# Formspark review (2026): is the free plan enough? > Form backend that emails or forwards submissions from your own HTML Checked Nov 12, 2026 ยท graded Nov 13, 2026 by ToolGPA.

Paid capacity is sold as one-time submission bundles instead of a subscription. - **Category:** Forms & Surveys - **Made by:** Formspark - **Website:** https://formspark.io - **Runs on:** Web - **Who should skip it:** Skip it if you want a drag-and-drop builder, as there isn't one. - **Facts last checked:** Nov 12, 2026 ## Pricing As of Nov 12, 2026, Formspark has a free plan, and paid plans start at $25 one-time, for 50,000 submissions. - **Pricing model:** Free plan - **Free plan:** Free with every account: 250 submissions, 10 forms and 5 team members, with spam filtering, email notifications, webhooks, Slack and Zapier. - **Free trial:** None listed. | Plan | Price | What you get | | --- | --- | --- | | Free | $0 | 250 submissions, 10 forms and 5 team members, with community support.

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. - **Value for money: A.** $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. - **Free plan and trial: C.** Free 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. - **Features: C.** A 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. - **Ease of use: C.** No rating on record. You write the form's HTML yourself and point it at Formspark. - **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web only, but it connects to Slack, Zapier, Make, Google Sheets, Notion and Webflow.

It costs $25, paid once. - You could make: Forms: an app builder makes this well. - You could not: Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change.
