Getform positions itself as a form backend for designers and developers, with a focus on simplicity and integration with popular static site generators. It supports file uploads, offers a clean submission management dashboard, and provides integrations through Zapier. The platform has carved out a niche among JAMstack developers who want a straightforward way to handle form submissions.
One area where Getform stands out is its workflow automation through Zapier, which lets you connect form submissions to thousands of third-party apps. The dashboard interface is clean and intuitive, making it easy to browse and export submissions. However, Getform's free plan is limited to a single form with 50 submissions per month, and spam protection is limited to basic honeypot fields without any intelligent filtering.
FormsList matches Getform's simplicity while offering substantially more on every tier. The free plan includes 5 forms and 500 submissions, giving hobby projects and small sites plenty of runway. AI-powered spam scoring catches sophisticated spam that simple honeypot fields miss, and native integrations with Slack, Google Sheets, and Discord mean you can set up real-time notifications without relying entirely on Zapier. For teams that need direct integrations and smarter spam handling, FormsList is the more complete package.

FormsList outperforms Getform in nearly every measurable category — more free forms, more submissions, lower prices, and smarter spam protection. The native integrations with Slack, Google Sheets, and Discord remove the need to set up Zapier automations for common workflows, saving both time and money.
Getform is a decent choice if you value an extremely simple interface and only need a single form for a small project. But the moment you need more than one form, better spam filtering, or direct integrations, FormsList delivers more without costing more. It is the clear winner for anyone planning to scale beyond a single contact form.
Set up your form backend in under a minute. No server required, no complex configuration — just a simple endpoint for your forms.
