Netlify Forms alternative
Forms.fyi vs Netlify Forms
Netlify Forms is tied to Netlify builds and hosting. Forms.fyi is a standalone form endpoint—use it from Vercel, Cloudflare Pages, S3, a VPS, or anywhere you can set a form action URL.
Forms.fyi
- Host-agnostic: same integration model on any provider
- Free: 100/mo submissions; Pro: 1,000/mo from $8/mo
- 100 submissions/month
- Honeypot spam protection
- Built-in thank-you redirect (or configure within free-plan rules)
- Unlimited forms
Pro highlights
- 1,000 submissions/month on Pro
- File uploads up to 5MB per file (Pro)
- Owner email notifications (Pro)
- Webhook POST on new submissions (Pro; single delivery attempt)
- Cloudflare Turnstile on the form (Pro)
- • Free plan forms stay on a simple configuration path (no webhooks, no owner email, no Turnstile, no file uploads). Upgrade to Pro to unlock the full feature set.
- • We do not antivirus-scan uploaded files; treat attachments like untrusted input.
- • Webhooks are delivered once per submission; we do not operate a retry queue today.
- • Form endpoints are served on forms.fyi (no custom hostname for the POST URL today).
Netlify Forms
Netlify Forms parses HTML at deploy time, manages submissions inside the Netlify UI, and bills according to Netlify plan limits. That is ideal when your entire site already lives on Netlify—not when you split hosting or use edge-only deployments without the Forms build integration.
- Tight integration with Netlify Identity, Functions, and notifications
- Different deployment requirement than a pure third-party POST URL
