# Formspree Alternative: Nisuform vs Formspree Formspree gives you unlimited forms and chat alerts for free. Nisuform keeps every submission with search and CSV export on its free plan, and charges $10 a month for 5,000 submissions. Prices and limits checked Oct 26, 2026. **Short answer:** pick Nisuform if you want every submission kept and exportable on the free plan, or 5,000 submissions a month for $10. Pick Formspree if you need more than 3 forms for free, Slack or Discord alerts without paying, or a plan above 5,000 submissions a month. Both services do the same core job. You point an HTML form at an endpoint, and the service stores each submission, filters spam and emails you. The differences are in what the free plan keeps, what each paid step costs and how much it includes. ## At a glance | | Nisuform | Formspree | | ------------------------------ | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | Free submissions | 100 a month | 50 a month | | Free forms | 3 | Unlimited | | History on the free plan | Kept until you delete it | 30 days | | Search and CSV export | Every plan | Personal and up | | First paid plan | $10 a month for 5,000 submissions | $15 a month for 200 submissions | | First paid plan, billed yearly | $84 a year | $120 a year | | Largest plan | 5,000 a month | 20,000 a month, custom above that | | Slack, Discord and Telegram | Pro | Every plan | | Google Sheets | Pro | Personal and up | | Webhooks | Pro | Professional and up | | Auto-replies | Pro | Professional and up | | File uploads | Pro, up to 5 files and 25 MB per submission | Personal and up, up to 25 MB per file | | Custom thank-you page | Pro | Personal and up | | Allowed domains | Every plan | Every plan | | Spam protection | Honeypot, fill-time check, rate limits, duplicate and link checks, optional Turnstile or reCAPTCHA | Spam filtering and reCAPTCHA, more controls on Professional and Business | ## Where Formspree is ahead * **More forms for free.** Formspree's free plan has no form limit.

Only the endpoint and a few special fields change. ### Create a form Sign in at [app.nisuform.com](https://app.nisuform.com), create a form and copy its endpoint from the **Setup** tab. ### Change the action URL ```html title="Before"
``` ```html title="After" ``` ### Rename Formspree's special fields Nisuform ignores fields that start with an underscore, apart from its own [special fields](/docs/connect/special-fields). * Rename `_replyto` to `email`. Otherwise the visitor's address is dropped, and replying to the notification won't reach them. * Rename `_next` to `_redirect`. Redirects are a Pro feature. * Remove `_subject` and set the subject in the form's **Settings**, **Email**. This works on every plan. * Keep `_gotcha`. It works the same way. ### Send a test submission Submit the form from your live site and check that it reaches your inbox and your email. If you submit with Formspree's React library, replace its `useForm` hook with a `fetch` call to your endpoint. See [JavaScript and fetch](/docs/connect/javascript) for the request and the response. ## Sources * [Formspree plans](https://formspree.io/plans), checked October 26, 2026 * [Nisuform pricing](/pricing) and [limits](/docs/reference/limits) ## Frequently asked questions ### Is Nisuform a good Formspree alternative?
