The best Web3Forms alternative
The access-key form backend FormLoom is modeled on — great onboarding, but free submissions are deleted after 30 days and there's no AI-tool channel. Here’s how FormLoom compares — honestly, including where Web3Forms wins — and how to switch.
FormLoom vs Web3Forms
| Feature | FormLoom | Web3Forms |
|---|---|---|
| Free submissions / mo | 250 | 250 |
| Free storage | Forever — no expiry | 30 days, then deleted |
| Free file uploads | ||
| Free webhook | ||
| MCP server | ||
| llms.txt | ||
| Free dashboard | Full | Minimal |
| Spam protection | AI spam score + honeypot + captcha, on by default | Opt-in captcha + honeypot |
| Paid entry (~10k/mo) | $18/mo | $12/mo |
Why switch
- Free submissions are deleted after 30 days — FormLoom keeps them forever, even on free.
- No MCP server or llms.txt — FormLoom owns the AI-coding-tool channel that auto-wires your form.
- Spam protection is opt-in; FormLoom runs AI spam scoring by default with a full search/filter dashboard.
- At the same $18/mo Pro price and 10k volume, FormLoom adds forever storage, unlimited webhooks, and MCP codegen.
Where Web3Forms wins
Web3Forms' public access-key onboarding is genuinely excellent — it's the pattern we deliberately preserved. Their free tier is also fully no-account.
Migrating from Web3Forms

- 2Replace your Web3Forms endpoint URL (or SDK key) with FormLoom's.
- 3Keep your existing form markup — only the action/key changes.
- 4Redeploy and submit a test; new submissions land in FormLoom.
