Web3Forms Alternative
A free access-key form backend whose free plan only sends email
Why Developers Move to Formboost
The free plan is an email relay — webhooks, the submissions API, file attachments and autoresponders are all Pro — and stopping bots means putting an hCaptcha in front of your users. Formboost delivers to Slack, Discord and Telegram on the free plan and screens submissions server-side, so nothing gets bolted onto your markup.
What Web3Forms Does
Web3Forms posts every form to one shared endpoint identified by an `access_key` field, and forwards the submission to your email. The developer features — webhooks, the submissions API, file attachments and autoresponders — all sit on the Pro plan.
Pricing
Web3Forms' free plan does email delivery with hCaptcha for spam. Everything developers usually come for is on Pro: webhooks, the read-only submissions API, file attachments, autoresponders, CC recipients, domain restriction, and reCAPTCHA/Turnstile.
Web3Forms' submission limits and Pro price are not quoted here because they change — check web3forms.com/pricing for the current numbers before deciding. The feature-to-plan mapping above comes from Web3Forms' own documentation. See Web3Forms's current pricing →
Where Formboost Differs
Every submission is screened by Formboost's own spam scoring, so you do not have to put an hCaptcha in front of real users to keep bots out
Slack, Discord and Telegram are native destinations on every Formboost plan, including Free — with Web3Forms they need a Pro webhook and something on the other end
Formboost's dashboard is where submissions live: searchable, reviewable, with the spam verdict on each one, rather than an inbox you dig through
Formboost's API is part of the product rather than a Pro add-on, and covers form and integration management, not only reading submissions
Formboost is built for the point where a submission has to reach a channel, a dashboard and your own systems — not just an inbox
