Formspark takes a unique approach to form backend pricing with a pay-per-submission model instead of monthly plans. You buy a block of submissions upfront and use them whenever you need. This can be attractive for sites with very low or sporadic form volume, but it also means you pay more per submission than monthly plans once your volume grows.
FormsList takes the opposite approach with generous monthly allowances — 500 free submissions every month that reset automatically, plus affordable monthly plans for higher volume. FormsList also includes native integrations with Slack, Discord, Google Sheets, Notion, and Airtable, whereas Formspark relies on Zapier for most integrations. If you need AI-powered spam protection, built-in analytics, or team workspaces, FormsList has clear advantages.

FormsList is the better choice for most developers. The recurring free tier of 500 submissions per month is far more practical than Formspark's one-time 250 submissions. Once those 250 are used, you must pay — whereas FormsList resets every month. For growing projects, FormsList's monthly plans are also more cost-effective.
Formspark shines for developers with very low, sporadic form volume who don't want a monthly commitment. If you only receive a handful of form submissions per month, the pay-per-use model means you never pay for unused capacity. However, for any site receiving regular submissions, FormsList's free tier alone may be sufficient.
Learn how to process form submissions on any website without writing server-side code. Use a form backend service to receive, store, and forward submissions by email.

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 Google Sheets integration automatically adds every form submission as a new row in your spreadsheet. No manual exports, no copy-pasting, no Zapier middleware. Submissions flow from your form to your spreadsheet in real time. This integration is perfect for teams that use Google Sheets for lead tracking, data analysis, or reporting. Each form field maps to a spreadsheet column, and new submissions are appended as rows. You get a living, always-up-to-date record of every submission. The setup is seamless: authorize FormsList to access your Google Sheets, select or create a spreadsheet, and map your form fields to columns. From that point on, every submission automatically appears in your sheet within seconds.
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.
