The Formspree alternative without the 50-submission cap

Formspree is the biggest name in form backends and it's a good product — which is exactly why it's worth asking whether you need all of it. Formspree's endpoint sits behind a dashboard, a form builder, and a submission-count ceiling that caps free usage at 50 submissions a month. This page is for developers who want the endpoint without the ceremony: one URL per form, raw JSON, webhooks, and data you can export. Formy is that thinner alternative, and moving is a one-line change.

Where Formspree is more than a developer needs

An endpoint behind a dashboard

Formspree hands you a form ID after you create the form in their dashboard. Formy hands you a slug on the URL — create a form, get the endpoint, no ceremony between you and the POST.

A bundled form builder you won't use

Formspree's widget and builder are aimed at non-developers. If you own your markup, that's extra surface on your page you never asked for. Formy ships no builder at all.

Free tier caps at 50 submissions a month

A landing page or waitlist in beta can cross 50 submissions quickly, and then you're on a paid plan. Formy's free tier is built for real projects getting real traffic.

Migrate from Formspree

<form action="https://formspree.io/f/mxyz1234" method="POST">

<form action="https://formy.io/api/submit/your-slug" method="POST">

Create a form on Formy, copy your slug, and swap the action URL. Your existing form HTML and field names carry over unchanged.

Frequently asked questions

Is Formy a real Formspree alternative?

Yes, for the endpoint use case. Both accept POST and notify you; Formy deliberately skips Formspree's dashboard-first flow and form builder, and its free tier is not capped at 50 submissions a month.

I use Formspree's JSON API. Will my code work?

Your fetch call works the same — POST JSON to an endpoint, get a response. Only the URL changes, and Formy accepts JSON with any field names and no schema.

Does Formy have webhooks like Formspree?

Yes. Every submission can be forwarded to a webhook URL as structured JSON in real time, in addition to email.
