The FormKeep alternative with a free tier
FormKeep has been a reliable form backend for years — JSON submissions, webhooks, a dashboard — and it works. But it's a mature, feature-grown product: setup runs through a dashboard with a form ID and a token, there's no real free tier (trial only), and the surface is more than most projects need. This page is for developers weighing a FormKeep alternative: you want JSON POST and webhooks without the ceremony or the monthly cost before you've got traffic. Formy is the thinner option, and moving takes one line.
The short answer: FormKeep is solid and you won't regret it — but it's paid from the start and bigger than the job. Formy keeps what you actually use (JSON POST, webhooks, a dashboard) and drops the rest, with a free tier so you pay when the project earns it.

Where FormKeep is more than you need
Paid from the first submission
FormKeep is trial-only — no free tier for hobby projects or pre-revenue landing pages. Formy's free tier lets you ship the endpoint before you commit budget.
Dashboard-first setup with a form ID and token
Every FormKeep form is created in the dashboard and addressed by an opaque ID and token. Formy gives you a human slug in the URL — create a form, copy the endpoint, done.
A feature surface you'll never touch
Years of additions mean options, integrations, and settings to ignore. The best form backend is the one that gets out of the way; Formy ships with no builder and no config.
Migrate from FormKeep
<form action="https://formkeep.com/f/abc123token" method="POST">
<form action="https://formy.io/api/submit/your-slug" method="POST">
Create a form on Formy, copy your slug, swap the action URL. JSON POST and webhooks work the same, minus the token.
Frequently asked questions
Can Formy replace FormKeep's JSON submissions and webhooks?
Yes. Formy accepts raw JSON POST with any field names and can forward every submission to a webhook URL as structured JSON — the same capabilities, without the form ID and token.
FormKeep has no free tier. Does Formy?
Yes. Formy's free tier is enough to run real landing pages and waitlists before you need a paid plan.
What does switching cost me in effort?
One line — the action URL. Your HTML, field names, and styles carry over unchanged.
