Best for a form backend with spam filtering and rules
Static Forms is a form backend for static sites with spam filtering, webhooks and form rules. Past the quota the Free and Starter plans hold submissions in the inbox, and uploads are capped at 4.5 MB.
Who StaticForms is for
- Fits if you run a static site with a few thousand entries a month
- Works for people who want EU data storage
Who StaticForms is not for
- Tight if you stay free, as 1 form and 250 submissions every 30 days is the cap
- Watch out: past the quota, Free and Starter hold new submissions rather than rejecting them
- Watch out: file uploads are 4.5 MB per submission and need a paid plan
- Pricey if you want sync: Sheets, Notion and Airtable need Pro at $7.50
Why StaticForms 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 moneyStarter is $4 a month billed annually ($6 monthly) for 3,000 submissions, under 60% of the $8.25 where the cheaper quarter starts.
- CFree plan and trialFree is 250 submissions every 30 days and 1 form. There is also a 7-day trial of Pro and Agency with no card, capped at 500 submissions.
- CFeaturesEndpoint, spam filtering, webhooks, rules, AI Reply and EU storage. File uploads are limited to 4.5 MB and need a paid plan.
- CEase of useNo store rating on record, and it is a web app where the work is writing the form and setting up rules, so it sits at C.
- BPlatforms and integrationsWeb only, with an API, an MCP server and eight listed integrations.

Keep StaticForms, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace StaticForms 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 $48 a year.
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.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
What this rests on. StaticForms’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.
