Add a Form in 3 Lines

<form action="https://formslist.com/f/YOUR_FORM_HASH" method="POST">
  <input type="email" name="email" placeholder="you@example.com" required />
  <button type="submit">Subscribe</button>
</form>

Replace YOUR_FORM_HASH with the endpoint hash from your FormsList dashboard. That is it — no JavaScript, no build step, no server.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is FormsList really free?

Yes. The free tier includes 5 forms, 500 submissions per month, email notifications, honeypot spam protection, and custom redirects. No credit card required to sign up.

What happens if I exceed 500 submissions in a month?

Submissions beyond the monthly limit are queued but not processed until the next billing cycle. You can upgrade to the Pro plan at any time to increase your limit to 5,000 submissions per month.

Do I need to write any server code?

No. FormsList provides a form endpoint URL that you add as the action attribute on your HTML form. We handle receiving submissions, sending notifications, filtering spam, and storing data — no backend code required.

Can I use the free form backend with React, Vue, or other frameworks?

Yes. FormsList works with any frontend technology. Whether you use plain HTML, React, Vue, Svelte, Next.js, or any other framework, just POST to your FormsList endpoint URL.

How does the free spam protection work?

The free tier includes honeypot fields that catch automated bots without adding friction for real users. Paid plans add AI-powered spam scoring that analyzes submission content for more sophisticated spam detection.
