The best Formspree alternative
A long-standing, polished form backend with strong integrations, but a thin free tier and higher entry price. Here’s how FormLoom compares — honestly, including where Formspree wins — and how to switch.
FormLoom vs Formspree
| Feature | FormLoom | Formspree |
|---|---|---|
| Free submissions / mo | 250 | 50 |
| Free storage | Forever — no expiry | Limited history |
| Free file uploads | ||
| Free webhook | ||

| Free dashboard | Full | Full |
| Spam protection | AI spam score + honeypot + captcha, on by default | reCAPTCHA + Akismet (paid) |

Why switch
- Free tier is only 50 submissions/mo — FormLoom gives 250 with forever storage.
- No MCP server or framework codegen for AI coding tools.
- FormLoom keeps submissions forever on every tier and scores spam with AI by default.
- FormLoom Pro is $18/mo for 10k — competitive volume with the AI-tool channel built in.
Where Formspree wins
Formspree has a mature dashboard, a large integration catalog (Zapier, Slack, etc.), and a well-established brand. Their plugin ecosystem is broader than ours today.
