}Next.js + Consultation Request
Next.js Server Actions handle the submit side but still leave you wiring SMTP, spam filtering, file uploads, and a dashboard. splitforms replaces all of that with one fetch('/api/submit') call. The consultation request works identically in App Router and Pages Router — it's just a FormData POST, no router-specific magic. Because Next.js pre-renders pages, the form HTML is in the DOM before any JavaScript executes, meaning instant Time-to-Interactive. The honeypot field is invisible to users but catches bots that scrape rendered HTML — especially important for Next.js sites where the form HTML is statically generated and predictable.

Consultation Request fields
The posted payload contains full name, email, phone, topic, what do you need help with?. Required fields are full name, email, phone, topic and what do you need help with?. Rename, remove, or add your own — splitforms accepts any name you POST.

Next.js production notes
Without splitforms, you'd write a route handler at app/api/contact/route.ts, parse the FormData, configure SMTP via nodemailer or Resend (~10 minutes of secrets wrangling), add a Postgres or SQLite store for submissions, and then bolt on rate limiting, a honeypot check, an email-classifier or reCAPTCHA, and webhook fan-out. Server actions made the wiring slightly tidier in Next 14+, but the operational cost stays the same: a function with a runtime, a database, an outbound email provider, an inbox to monitor, and your name on the spam-filter incident report. Splitforms collapses all of that into a POST to a single URL.

Testimonials
40 quotes on record — from indie hacks to agency migrations.
“I replaced a Lambda + DynamoDB + SES contact form with six lines of HTML. It took eleven minutes, and the dashboard is better than what I was going to build.”
“We migrated 14 client sites off Formspree in a single weekend. The price is a third of what we paid, the API is more honest, and the spam filter actually works.”
“The webhook payload is signed, idempotent, and well-shaped. It reads like code from a competent team, not a CRUD app held together with duct tape.”
“I stopped reaching for Typeform on small marketing sites. splitforms covers 90% of the use case at none of the bloat.”
“I onboarded our whole agency in an afternoon. The MCP integration meant Cursor literally dropped the form straight into our client repos for us.”
“The free plan gave me 500 submissions before I paid a cent, and Pro is five dollars a month. I've spent more on coffee deciding which backend to use.”
“Spam went from forty junk entries a day to zero, with no reCAPTCHA puzzle ruining the form. The honeypot and time-trap just quietly do their job.”
“Point the form action at one endpoint and you're done. No SDK, no client library, no build step. This is how a form backend should feel.”
“Leads land in Slack the second someone submits, and a copy goes to Google Sheets for the sales team. I wired both up in under ten minutes.”
“I run a static Hugo site on a five-dollar VPS. splitforms gave it a real contact form without me standing up a single server.”
Common questions
Yes. The form is plain HTML with a single POST endpoint, so it runs on any Next.js site without server-side code, plugins, or SDKs. Drop the snippet into a Next.js page or component and submissions land in your splitforms dashboard.
Free for 500 submissions per month — no credit card, no trial. Pro is $5/mo for 5,000 submissions, and there's a one-time $59 3-year plan (15,000 submissions/mo for 36 months). The same pricing applies regardless of which framework hosts the form.
Yes. The template ships with sensible defaults (full name, email, phone, topic…) — add, remove, or rename any of them. Splitforms accepts whatever fields you POST.
A hidden honeypot field catches dumb bots, and a tuned classifier scores the rest. You only see real submissions in your dashboard. No CAPTCHA, no friction for human users — and it works the same on Next.js as on any other framework.
Yes. Webhooks are available on paid plans, with auto-formatted payloads for Slack, Discord, and WhatsApp (via CallMeBot). Or send raw signed JSON to any URL — Zapier, n8n, your own server. Configure in the splitforms dashboard.
Yes — the form posts directly to splitforms from the browser, so no server is involved. Works on Vercel, Netlify, GitHub Pages, Cloudflare Pages, S3, or any plain Apache host.
