Netlify Forms alternative
Netlify Forms Alternative That Works on Any Host
Netlify Forms is built into Netlify hosting and is free for newer accounts. Formpit works wherever your site lives, so your forms keep working if you move hosts, and adds an inbox to reply and track every message.
Formpit vs Netlify Forms
| Formpit | Netlify Forms | |
|---|---|---|
| Works on | Any host: Vercel, Cloudflare Pages, GitHub Pages, Netlify, your own server | Sites deployed on Netlify |

| Reply, status, tags and notes | Yes, on Free | Not listed |
| Telegram, Google Sheets, Notion | Native on Pro | Through webhooks or third-party tools |
| File uploads | 5 files, 10 MB each, 25 MB per submission (Pro) | One file per field, 8 MB per request |
Checked against Netlify Forms's own pages on 10 November 2026; plans change, so check theirs too. “Not listed” means we couldn't find it on their pricing page.
Why people switch
Not tied to your host
Move to Vercel or Cloudflare Pages and your forms keep working, with every past submission still in your inbox.
An inbox for replies
Mark messages New, Replied or Closed, reply from the dashboard, and get reminded about anything waiting.
On a legacy Netlify plan?
Legacy plans cap forms at 100 submissions per site per month. Formpit Free gives 500 per account.
Where Netlify Forms is strong
- Free and unlimited on Netlify's credit-based plans (team accounts opened since 4 September 2025).
- No separate service to sign up for if you already deploy on Netlify.
How to switch from Netlify Forms
Remove data-netlify="true" (and netlify-honeypot), then add an action and method="POST". The hidden form-name input is ignored, and a bot-field honeypot still works.
Before
<form name="contact" method="POST" data-netlify="true">
<input type="hidden" name="form-name" value="contact">After
<form name="contact" action="https://formpit.com/f/YOUR_FORM_ID" method="POST">Replace YOUR_FORM_ID with the endpoint from your form's Setup tab. Then press Send test submission to see it arrive.
Questions
Is Netlify Forms free?
For team accounts opened since 4 September 2025, Netlify says forms are free and unlimited. Older legacy plans include 100 submissions per site per month.
Why switch if it's free?
Mainly to manage replies from an inbox, to use Telegram, Sheets or Notion natively, or because your site isn't (or won't stay) on Netlify.
