forms.app vs Formspree

forms.app is an online form, survey and quiz builder launched in 2018 with a mobile-first focus. It reports 4M+ users in 170+ countries; its company, Forms App OÜ, is based in Tallinn, Estonia, and the product is made and hosted in the EU. The core job is to let anyone build good-looking forms quickly, collect responses and payments, and pass the data on to other tools.

Forms can be generated with AI or started from 5,000+ templates, using 30+ field types including signature and payment fields. Conditional logic shows or hides questions and routes people to different endings, and auto-scoring turns forms into quizzes and tests. Responses can be analysed with AI insights and sent to 500+ integrations such as Zapier, Google Drive, Slack, Notion and HubSpot. The free plan allows 5 forms with unlimited responses and team members; Basic raises this to 25 forms and removes branding, Pro unlocks unlimited forms, custom CSS and multilingual forms, and Premium adds 1 TB storage, custom domains and partial responses.

forms.app suits small businesses, educators and freelancers who want unlimited responses on a free or low-cost plan. Jotform has more enterprise features such as HIPAA and approvals, Typeform has stronger conversational design, and Tally offers a more generous free tier for simple forms.

Buying tip: from Turkey and the EU the pricing page shows euros, so US visitors may see different USD prices. Yearly plans are much cheaper than monthly, and paid plans carry a 90-day refund guarantee.

Formspree is a form backend service for static websites and front-end applications. Instead of writing server code, developers point an HTML form's action attribute at a Formspree endpoint, or use its React library, and Formspree receives the submission, filters spam, emails a notification and stores the entry in a dashboard. It became a standard choice in the Jamstack world and is a built-in option in site builders such as Carrd.

Beyond the endpoint, Formspree offers spam protection with reCAPTCHA, hCaptcha and its own filtering, file uploads, custom redirects and autoresponses on paid plans, a submission archive with export, and integrations that forward data to tools like Google Sheets, Mailchimp, Slack, Airtable, Zapier and webhooks. Plans are priced by monthly submission volume, with unlimited forms on every plan: the free tier allows 50 submissions per month, and Personal, Professional and Business tiers raise limits and add team access, integrations and more advanced features.

Formspree fits developers and designers who build static sites with Astro, Next.js, Hugo or plain HTML and simply need forms to work reliably. It is not a visual form builder, so non-technical users who want to design surveys and quizzes will be happier with Tally, Typeform or Jotform. Netlify Forms is the obvious alternative for sites hosted on Netlify, Basin is a similar form backend, and Web3Forms offers a lighter free option for contact forms.
