Honest take
When should you stay with Formcarry?
Stay with Formcarry if one of these matters more to you than switching:
- Paid native uploads support files up to 10 MB each
- A monthly free allowance can suit a long-running, low-volume single form
- Documented MCP account operations and integration workflows
Leave Formcarry in about 10 minutes
How switching works
Keep your HTML, field names and styles. Only the action URL changes, plus one hidden access_key field.
Swap the form action
Point your form at https://splitforms.com/api/submit and add one hidden access_key field. Field names and styling stay the same.
Test, then cut over
Send a test entry, confirm it reaches your inbox and dashboard, then remove the old endpoint.
Where submissions go
Every submission lands in your inbox and a searchable dashboard on every plan, including Free. Paid plans add webhooks and integrations:
AI agents can manage forms through the splitforms MCP server, included on every plan.

Common questions
Frequently asked questions.
View all FAQsDoes Formcarry have MCP?
Yes. Its documentation describes MCP tools for form, recipient and submission operations. SplitForms also provides authenticated MCP access; compare the supported workflow rather than assuming exclusivity.
Is SplitForms cheaper for recurring lead volume?
SplitForms Pro is $5/month for 5,000 submissions/month. Formcarry Starter is $6/month for 500/month. Compare the same billing period and include storage and workflow requirements.
Can I keep every visitor field?
Yes for HTML and framework forms you control. Preserve their names and values, change the submission connection and map any provider-specific control fields. Verify repeated values, files and redirects before completing the switch.
Deep dive
The full picture, no fluff.
Short, honest answers on pricing, migration, and why teams move from Formcarry to splitforms.
01Compare monthly billing with monthly billing
Formcarry shows annual-equivalent prices on its pricing cards. Its FAQ lists the separate month-to-month rates. Label the period before making a price comparison; a yearly commitment and a monthly subscription are not interchangeable.
SplitForms Pro is $5/month for 5,000 submissions/month; Annual is $49/year for 15,000 submissions/month. These are useful options for developers who need ongoing lead capacity across several sites. Check feature requirements as well as volume, including storage, team access and integration limits.
02Spam filtering and MCP are shared capabilities
Formcarry’s current documentation describes automatic spam detection, a reviewable Spam view and optional reCAPTCHA. Its MCP guide describes managing forms, recipients and submissions. Claims that it forces CAPTCHA on every visitor or has no agent tools would be inaccurate.
SplitForms’ case is concrete: clear paid submission allowances, unlimited forms and HMAC-signed webhooks with documented delivery behavior. Use the product that satisfies the actual workflow instead of treating the presence of an API as proof of a universal winner.
03Check the file workflow before switching
Formcarry’s documented 10 MB per-file allowance is larger than SplitForms’ 5 MB per-file limit. SplitForms supports up to five files per submission on paid plans with connected Storage. A form that regularly receives 8 MB resumes needs an adjusted upload workflow before migration.
Check who needs to open attachments and what happens when storage is full. A successful text submission does not by itself confirm that every requested file was stored.
04Move your existing form to SplitForms
Keep your visitor field names, labels and validation. Create the receiving form in SplitForms, then set action to https://splitforms.com/f/YOUR_ACCESS_KEY. Alternatively, use https://splitforms.com/api/submit and add a hidden access_key input. Copy the actual form access key from Setup; an account token is not a substitute.
Recreate notification recipients, redirects and any autoresponder in the dashboard. Check the upload plan and Storage connection. For webhooks, update payload mapping and signature verification. Test the deployed page, confirm the stored answers and attachments, then verify email and the receiving integration separately.
05Verify the outcome, not only the success screen
Use a labelled test entry on the deployed page, with recipients expecting the notification. Inspect the exact field values in the dashboard, then email and any external integration. Keep the old configuration available until the new route passes those checks.
For automated receivers, SplitForms documents an eight-second timeout and one retry after about two seconds on network errors, timeouts and 5xx responses. Verify the signature and deduplicate downstream actions. Neither a browser success nor an SMTP acceptance guarantees final inbox placement.
