Where Formspree is stronger
- Integrations. Telegram, Discord and Slack plugins work on Free. Paid plans add Sheets, Airtable, Notion, CRMs, Zapier and webhooks.
- Teams. An extra team member on Professional, unlimited members on Business, and a rules engine.
- Nothing is refused at the limit. Over-limit submissions are saved in a separate folder. After an upgrade you can reprocess them, and then the emails and plugins run.
- Restrict to domain on Free. Web3Forms lists domain restriction as a paid feature.
Where Web3Forms is stronger
- Five times the free volume. 250 submissions a month against 50, with unlimited forms and domains.
- Cheaper volume. Pro is $149 a year for 10,000 submissions a month. Formspree Professional is $240 a year for 2,000.
- A low-cost plan for some groups. Starter costs $49 a year by application, for students, startups and non-profits, with 5,000 submissions and integrations.
- Simple setup. One access key in a hidden field connects the form.
Who should pick which
- A personal site or portfolio with modest traffic: Web3Forms. The free plan is larger.
- Leads that must reach a CRM, Sheets or Slack: Formspree, or Web3Forms Pro.
- A team or agency: Formspree, for seats and routing rules.
- Telegram without paying: Formspree, at 50 submissions a month.
- Thousands of submissions on a small budget: Web3Forms Pro.
Where Formgong fits
Formgong is a free form backend for static and AI-built sites that delivers submissions to Telegram and email, stores data in the EU, and works in 12 languages. Its Free plan has 300 submissions a month with Telegram, and Pro is $9 a month for 5,000.
It is the weaker choice if you need many integrations or team seats. It has email, Telegram and webhooks only, and it is a young service. Full head-to-head pages: Formgong vs Formspree and Formgong vs Web3Forms.
