Part 01 · Overview

Welcome

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

2.6

GPA, above 116 of the 148 other form and survey tools we grade

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.

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

You write the form's HTML yourself and point it at Formspark.
From our grade for ease of use
  1. 1

    Best for forms on your own HTML that you pay for once

    It doesn't build forms for you, and the autoresponder, REST API and branding removal all need the paid bundle.

  2. 2

    What it costs

    Paid plans start at $25 one-time, for 50,000 submissions.

  3. 3

    There is a free plan

    Free with every account: 250 submissions, 10 forms and 5 team members, with spam filtering, email notifications, webhooks, Slack and Zapier.

  4. 4

    It runs on Web

    Web.

  5. 5

    Endpoint for your own form

    Set the form's action to a Formspark endpoint and keep your own markup. JavaScript is optional.

  6. 6

    Spam filtering

    Automatic filtering is on for every plan, with custom spam words, a honeypot and support for Botpoison, hCaptcha, reCAPTCHA and Turnstile.

  7. 7

    Delivery and integrations

    Submissions go to email, Slack, Zapier, Make, webhooks, and on the paid bundle to Google Sheets and Notion.

  8. 8

    A 2.6 GPA, above 116 of 148

    That is against the other form and survey tools we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.

  9. 9

    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.

Free plan and trialCFree 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.
FeaturesCA 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.

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 it 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

Good to know

Good for

  • Static sites and framework sites that need a form with no server code
  • Developers who want to keep their own form markup
  • Low-volume sites, since a $25 bundle has no expiry

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.

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 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 116 of the 148 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.
