Formgrid alternative: what changes if you switch

Formgrid's free plan takes 50 submissions a month on up to 3 forms, and then the form pauses. Here is what changes when the same HTML form posts to Formgong instead, and where Formgrid is still the better pick.

Short answer: Formgong's free plan takes 250 submissions a month on unlimited forms and sends them to email, Telegram and Google Sheets. Formgrid's free plan takes 50 a month on up to 3 forms, pauses new submissions at the limit and does not say where data is stored. Formgrid is the better pick if you want to self-host the backend with Docker.

Why people look for a Formgrid alternative

  • 50 a month is easy to use up. Test sends while you build and a few spam messages count against it.
  • The form pauses at the limit. Formgrid's pricing page says new submissions pause until the next billing cycle or an upgrade, and does not say whether they are kept.
  • Little beyond email on Free. Google Sheets is a one-time sync of 10 rows, and webhooks and Zapier are on the top plan only.
  • No stated data location. Its privacy policy says data is stored on secure servers and may be processed in other countries.

Where Formgrid is the better choice

Formgrid can be self-hosted with Docker on every plan, which Formgong cannot, and its paid plans accept files up to 1 GB each. If you want the backend on your own server, or you collect large files, Formgrid is worth a look.

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 Formgrid to Formgong

  1. Create a free Formgong account and copy the form's access key.
  2. Change the form's action from https://formgrid.dev/api/f/YOUR_FORM_ID to https://formgong.com/submit and keep method="POST".
  3. Add <input type="hidden" name="access_key" value="…">. Field names stay as they are. Add Formgong's empty botcheck field for the honeypot.
  4. Send a test, then connect Telegram or Google Sheets in Form settings if you want them.

Every hidden field Formgong understands is in the HTML docs.
