Who should pick which
Pick FormSubmit for a quick test or a hobby page: no account, the form posts straight to your email address, and it costs nothing.
Pick Formgong when the form matters to a business: an inbox with CSV export, Telegram delivery, EU storage, a hidden access key instead of your email address in the HTML, and reminders about unanswered leads.

Where Formgong is stronger
- Your email stays out of the HTML. The page carries a public access key instead.
- Stored inbox with search, statuses and CSV export, not just email.
- Telegram on every plan.
- Published limits: 300 a month on Free, with a 20% grace.
- EU storage and a DPA template for GDPR paperwork.
- No reCAPTCHA page by default. A honeypot and invisible signals, with Cloudflare Turnstile as an option.
How to switch
Replace the email address in the action with the Formgong endpoint and add the access key. Use _redirect instead of _next.

Is FormSubmit really free?
Yes. FormSubmit's site lists no paid plans. It also publishes no quota and says it imposes technical limits from time to time, especially when reCAPTCHA is turned off.
Why not put my email address in the form?
Anyone can read it in the page source. Formgong uses a public access key that cannot read your inbox, and the destination email is set in the dashboard.
Does FormSubmit store submissions?
FormSubmit's documentation describes emailing submissions and an optional webhook. Formgong stores them in an EU inbox with CSV export.
