Stack entry

Netlify Forms

I run thisFree tier

Form handling built into the host. Add one attribute to a form tag and submissions show up in the dashboard.

Use it when

The site is already on Netlify, which makes this close to zero work.

The catch

You have to turn on form detection and then redeploy, and the form will silently do nothing until you do. I have been caught by this more than once.

Where it sits in the stack

Netlify Forms is filed under “Forms, because every site eventually needs one” in the stack directory. Its label there is the same one at the top of this page: i run this, meaning this is first-hand rather than read off a pricing page.

What has changed about its pricing

Nothing, as far as this site has recorded. Netlify Forms has no entry in the price change log, which means either its pricing has held since this site started checking or nobody here has re-read it since the figure above was taken. The log distinguishes those two cases deliberately, and a tool with no entry is the weaker of them.

The alternatives in the same slot

These do the same job and sit in the same section of the directory.

  • Formspree — listed, not tested, has a free tier
  • Basin — listed, not tested, has a free tier

The whole stack, filterable, with the catch stated on every entry.

How we make money: some links on WebMogul are affiliate links. If you sign up for a tool through one, the company pays us a commission at no extra cost to you. We only recommend tools we have actually used to build real sites, and we say so when one falls short. More on how this site works.
