Pricing
Formboost
Free, Starter, Pro and Business. Slack, Discord, Telegram and email delivery are included from the free plan up; custom webhooks start on Starter at $9/mo. See our pricing page for current numbers.
Web3Forms
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.
Why Teams Choose Formboost
Choose Formboost if...
- ✓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
On the free plan
Formboost's free plan is 10 forms and 500 submissions a month with no card and no expiry. Email, Slack, Discord and Telegram are all available at that tier, one destination per form.
