Fillout alternative that matches your site and keeps data in the EU

Fillout vs Formgong

Where Fillout's docs say nothing about a feature, the cell says so instead of guessing.

Why people look for a Fillout alternative

• The form lives in Fillout. You design it in Fillout's editor and put it on your site as a link or an embed. Its REST API can create submissions, but it needs a secret key, and Fillout says API submissions do not trigger email notifications or integrations.
• No CAPTCHA on Free. Fillout's pricing table lists the CAPTCHA field from its first paid plan.
• Its badge stays on Free. Free forms show a "Made with Fillout" button, and removing branding starts on its Pro plan.
• EU storage needs a top plan. Submission data is stored in the US by default, and the EU region is for Team and Enterprise accounts.

Where Fillout is the better choice

Fillout is a strong builder, and its free plan is generous: payments, scheduling, PDF generation, conditional logic and unlimited file uploads up to 20 MB each. It also does not stop the form at the limit; its help says forms keep collecting and you are asked to upgrade only if it keeps happening. If you do not want to write HTML, Fillout is the right tool.

What Formgong's free plan includes

• Build the form or bring your own. The form builder takes the colours and fonts from your site's address, with no sign-up; ready form templates copy into your account; AI writes the fields from one sentence. Any hand-written HTML form works too.
• Websites with the form already connected. 28 free website templates post to Formgong out of the box.
• 250 submissions a month on unlimited forms. Spam does not count. Once a year, a busy month keeps delivering on credit until the 7th instead of stopping.
• Everywhere you work. Email to up to 3 people at once, Telegram with Reply and Handled buttons, Google Sheets, Notion, and 3 signed webhooks for Slack, Discord, Zapier, Make or n8n.
• Emails to your customers in your business's name. Formgong sends them under your business name and replies come back to you, with no email service of your own to set up: a review request to every lead, a reminder a visitor asked for, and review emails after an order with your logo and colours. People who agree can also go straight into your Mailchimp, Klaviyo, Brevo, MailerLite or Kit list. An automatic reply to each visitor is on Pro.
• No captcha needed. A server-side spam filter, a honeypot, allowed domains and a block list; add your own Turnstile key if you want one.
• Files and voice. Visitors can attach files, or record a voice message that arrives transcribed.
• Made for AI-built sites. A hosted form page and a contact button; step-by-step guides for sites built with Lovable, Bolt, v0, Replit and Base44; an MCP server lets Cursor or Claude wire the form for you.
• See what the form does. Analytics for views, starts, conversion and where each lead came from, and an alert when a form goes quiet.
• One account for the rest. Customer reviews and an AI help chat that answers visitors from your own pages, with every message in one inbox. Data is stored in the EU.

Moving a form from Fillout to Formgong

1. Export the responses you want to keep to CSV from Fillout's Results tab. Formgong starts with an empty inbox.
2. Make the form in the Formgong form builder, which takes the colours and fonts from your site, start from a form template, or write the HTML yourself. Keep the field names you want to see in your email.
3. Set action to Formgong's /submit with method="POST", and add <input type="hidden" name="access_key" value="…"> from your free account.
4. Add an empty botcheck field for spam. For a CAPTCHA, connect your own Cloudflare Turnstile key in Form settings.
5. Remove the Fillout embed code or link, send a test, then connect Telegram, Google Sheets or a webhook if you want them.

Every hidden field Formgong understands is in the HTML docs.
