Form backend services can help you do that.\n\nThis repository is a comparison of free form backend services for static sites. It includes a list of services, their features, and limitations. The list is divided into two sections: open-source and self-hostable services, and free plans from popular form backend providers.\n\nThis list is not exhaustive, and there may be other services available that are not listed here. If you find any inaccuracies or have suggestions, feel free to open an issue or submit a pull request. We aim to make this list as accurate as possible, but keep in mind that features and pricing may change over time. Refer to the providers' websites for the most up-to-date information.\n\n\n# Plans\n\n## Open source and self-hostable\n\nOpen source form backends that you can host yourself. These services usually have an instance available for public use as well. If there are usage limits that apply to this instance, they will be in the table below.\n\n| Provider | Sites | Forms | Submissions | Email Addresses | Private Email Address | Custom Redirect Page | Direct replies | Auto Responder | File Attachments | Domain Whitelist | Spam Protection | Web Dashboard | Email Notifications | Integrations | Webhooks | Team Collaboration | Standalone | Notes |\n| --------------: | :---: | :---: | :---------: | :-------------: | :-------------------: | :------------------: | :------------: | :------------: | :--------------: | :--------------: | :-------------: | :-----------: | :-----------------: | :----------: | :------: | :----------------: | :--------: | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |\n| [Formbase] | 🤔 | 🤔 | 🤔 | 🤔 | 🤔 | 🤔 | 🤔 | ⛔ | ✅ | 🤔 | ⛔ | 🤔 | ✅ | ⛔ | ⛔ | ⛔ | ✅ | No documentation available.
