Who should pick which
Pick Formspree if you need its plugin catalogue (CRMs, newsletters, Stripe, Sheets), team seats, a rules engine, custom email templates or large file uploads, or you want a long-running service with a big install base.
Pick Formgong if 50 free submissions are not enough, you want EU data storage, lead reminders in Telegram, or a form that follows the site language automatically on an AI-built site. Paid plans start at $5 instead of $15.

- EU storage. Submissions are stored in Cloudflare D1 with EU jurisdiction; email goes through an EU data centre.

- AI builders. A remote MCP server and ready prompts for Lovable, Bolt, v0, Replit and Cursor, so the assistant connects the form instead of inventing its own backend.
How to switch
Replace the action URL, add the access key, and rename the honeypot _gotcha to botcheck. Field names such as name, email and message stay. _subject, _replyto and _redirect work as hidden fields.
