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.
Build a fully functional contact form in React with hooks, validation, and email notifications. No backend server or API routes needed.

Learn moreNever miss a form submission again. FormsList's Slack integration delivers every submission directly to your chosen Slack channel in real time. Whether it's a new lead, a support request, or a piece of feedback, your team sees it the moment it arrives — without leaving Slack. The integration formats each submission into a clean, readable Slack message with all form fields displayed as structured data. You can configure which channel receives notifications, customize the message format, and even filter which submissions trigger a Slack notification based on field values. Setting up the Slack integration takes under two minutes. Connect your Slack workspace from the FormsList dashboard, choose a channel, and you're live. No webhooks to configure manually, no code to write, and no Zapier subscription required.
Learn moreFormsList's webhook integration lets you forward form submissions to any HTTP endpoint in real time. Every time a form is submitted, FormsList sends a POST request with the submission data as a JSON payload to your webhook URL. This is the most flexible integration, enabling you to connect FormsList to any service, API, or custom backend. Webhooks are perfect for developers who want to process form data in their own systems — storing it in a custom database, triggering workflows, sending to a CRM, or connecting to services that FormsList doesn't have a native integration for. You can configure multiple webhook URLs per form, add custom headers for authentication, and set up retry logic for failed deliveries. FormsList logs all webhook attempts with status codes and response bodies for easy debugging.
Learn moreFormsList's email notification feature ensures you never miss a form submission. Every time someone fills out your form, you receive a detailed email with all the submitted data — delivered to one or more email addresses instantly. Email notifications are the most fundamental way to stay on top of form submissions. They work universally — no app to install, no integration to configure, no third-party account needed. If you have an email address, you can receive form submissions. You can customize which email addresses receive notifications, set a custom subject line and reply-to address, and control which form fields appear in the email. FormsList email notifications also include a direct link to view the submission in your dashboard for additional context and actions.
