Jamstack Tools: 14 Form Backends with Free Pricing Tiers

Jamstack websites are built to be fast, adaptable, and secure. However, because they do not have a backend or database inherently, they are not designed to accept form input without the help of some form-handling service.

Many services have stepped up to handle form submissions for static and Jamstack websites. These tools make it simple to reliably collect info from clients or customers. Many offer a generous free tier, competitive pricing, and a variety of useful features.

Nearly every service offers common features like collecting emails, forwarding emails to your chosen destination, and spam filtering. Some will additionally offer specialized features like team collaboration, form analytics, integrations, and hosted forms. It is worth making sure the service’s features and pricing line up well with your needs before setting it up. Here are some good options to handle forms:

Getform

Getform is a powerful form platform with great documentation, a top-notch dashboard, and ready-made integrations with Slack, Airtable, Google Sheets, and more. This is a great option for developers.

Pricing: free up to 50 submissions per month | $12 per month for 1,000 submissions per month | $39 per month for 10,000 submissions per month | $99 per month for 100,000 submissions per month

Formcarry

Formcarry offers useful features for developers. These include submission notifications via webhooks, advanced filtering features, and an integration with Zapier (which can connect with many other services like Google Sheets and Mailchimp). They also have useful documentation to get set up.

Pricing: free up to 100 submissions per month | $15 per month for 1000 submissions per month | $40 per month for 10,000 submissions per month

HeyForm

HeyForm is a versatile option that is great for marketers and non-developers due to their visual form builder. They offer templates to get started, team collaboration features, and form analytics. Their pricing is unique because they price their offerings by storage rather than monthly submissions.

The forms here are embeddable, or you can host them on custom domains.

Pricing: free for most features | $29 per month or $290 per year for pro-level features like collaboration, custom domains, and unlimited uploads

Forma

Forma is a simple option for developers to collect submissions from their forms. They don’t offer many advanced features, but their pricing is among the best here. Even their free tier offers unlimited submissions on two forms.

Pricing: free for unlimited submissions on two forms | $9.99/mo unlimited submissions on unlimited forms | $14.99 for unlimited submissions on unlimited forms plus 25 GB of storage

Netlify

Netlify is a well-respected host for Jamstack websites. If you are using Netlify for your website, it is simple to integrate your form so you can manage form submissions through the your dashboard. They offer spam filtering, message forwarding, and integration with Zapier and Netlify functions. I use this for my portfolio website, and it works very nicely.

Formcake is another developer-centered option that includes features like reCAPTCHA, file uploads, and integrations with Zapier and webhooks. Their prices are very reasonable, and they offer half-price plans if you pay yearly, rather than monthly.
