What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.8
GPA, above 132 of the 148 other form and survey tools we grade
Formsubmit lets an HTML form send its entries to an email address by pointing the form's action at its URL. No registration is needed; the first submission triggers an email to confirm the address. Special hidden fields set the reply-to address, redirect, subject, webhook and spam filters.
To get you started, here are 8 things to know about Formsubmit, taken from its own pages and our grades.
It has no dashboard or stored entries on the pages we read, so everything lives in your inbox.

The report card
Best for free form-to-email with no sign-up
FormSubmit is a free endpoint that emails what an HTML form sends, with no registration. It has no dashboard or stored entries on the pages we read, so everything lives in your inbox.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | A | Free, and the site lists no paid plans or limits. |
| Free plan and trial | A | Free outright, with no registration. No cap is listed. |
| Features | C | Email delivery, file uploads, spam options, webhooks and a hidden email address. It does that job fully, but there is no dashboard or stored archive, and it is a smaller job. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record, and it is a web app where the work is writing the HTML form yourself, so it sits at C. |
| Platforms and integrations | C | Web only, with webhooks and no listed integrations or apps. |
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.
Who Formsubmit is for
- Fits if you want a contact form that emails you and nothing more
- Works for people who don't want to sign up for anything
Who it is not for
- Skip it if you want a dashboard, as entries go to email and no archive is described
- Watch out: reCAPTCHA is on by default and the vendor advises against turning it off

- Skip it if you want a support promise, as no paid plan is listed
Good to know
Good for

Worth knowing
- No dashboard or stored submission archive is described on the pages read; entries go to email.
- reCAPTCHA is on by default, and the vendor advises against turning it off.

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
Formsubmit is free, so making your own would save you nothing.
And it is not the kind of software a weekend replaces. It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 2.8 is higher than 132 of the 148 other form and survey tools we grade.
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. Formsubmit’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.
