Formspark pricing: 250 free submissions, then $25 for 50,000.
Prices verified October 14, 2026 on formspark.io/pricing
Formspark costs $0 for 250 submissions across 10 forms, then $25 one-time for 50,000 submissions and 100 forms (a $50 list price shown as a promotion). It is a prepaid model, not a monthly subscription: you buy credits once and use them as traffic arrives.
That suits a brochure site or a seasonal campaign with low, irregular traffic. At $25 for 50,000 submissions the bundle is about $0.50 per 1,000, while splitforms Pro is $5 per month for 5,000 submissions (about $1.00 per 1,000 at full use) and Annual is $49 per year. A prepaid bundle can be cheaper when a form receives a few submissions a month.

How much does each Formspark plan cost?
Formspark lists two steps: a free workspace allowance and a single prepaid bundle. Neither is billed monthly on the documented offer, so the bundle lasts until the submissions are used. The bundle is bought per workspace, and its listed price is shown as a promotion from $50.
| Plan | Price | Submissions | Forms | Billing | Expiry |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | 250 total | 10 | Prepaid total, no monthly reset | Never expire; no recurring bill |
| Bundle | $25 one-time | 50,000 | 100 | Prepaid bundle, bought per workspace | List price $50; credits don’t expire monthly |
Verified October 14, 2026 on formspark.io/pricing. The 50,000-submission bundle is advertised at $25 against a $50 list price, so confirm the offer at checkout. Credits are prepaid and do not expire monthly. The pricing page lists 50 members on upgraded workspaces, while Formspark's limits guide describes no practical limit; confirm the current team limit before you buy.
Formspark pricing vs splitforms: which costs less?
Formspark's 250 free submissions are a lifetime allowance, like splitforms' 500. The paid models are different: Formspark sells a prepaid bundle, while splitforms bills monthly and refills the allowance each month. Compare the cost over the life of your site, not just the headline number.

| Cost per 1,000 submissions | $0.50 on the $25 bundle | $1.00 on Pro at full monthly use |

When is Formspark's prepaid model enough?
Formspark and splitforms solve the same problem with different billing. Use the checklist below to see which one fits the site you're building today.
- Traffic is low or seasonal and a prepaid balance can last a long time.
- You want to pay once for 50,000 submissions instead of a monthly bill.
- You already use a separate upload provider and do not need signed webhooks.
- You want 500 free submissions total before upgrading.
- You need a monthly allowance that keeps pace with steady lead volume.
- You want HMAC-signed webhooks, a REST API, built-in uploads and spam filtering.
How do you move a Formspark form to splitforms?
You don't need to rebuild the form. Formspark and splitforms both accept a standard HTML POST, so switching is a one-line endpoint change plus a hidden field.
- 01
Get a free access key. Sign in to splitforms and copy the access key for your form. The Free plan needs no credit card.
- 02
Swap the endpoint. Change the form’s action from Formspark’s URL to https://splitforms.com/api/submit and keep method="POST". Every other field stays the same.
- 03
Keep the honeypot field. Leave the hidden botcheck input empty so real submissions pass spam filtering.
- 04
Send a test submission. Submit the form once, confirm it lands in your splitforms dashboard and inbox, then retire the old Formspark form.
What splitforms adds over Formspark: a REST API and MCP server for forms, so an AI agent can build and manage forms for you. It is included on every plan.
<form action="https://splitforms.com/api/submit" method="POST">
<input type="hidden" name="access_key" value="YOUR_ACCESS_KEY" />
<input type="checkbox" name="botcheck" style="display:none" tabindex="-1" />
<input name="name" required />
<input name="email" type="email" required />
<textarea name="message" required></textarea>
<button type="submit">Send</button>
</form>

Is Formspark free?
Yes. Formspark’s free allowance is 250 submissions in total across 10 forms, and those credits do not reset monthly. Above that, the listed upgrade is a $25 one-time bundle of 50,000 submissions and 100 forms, shown as a promotion from a $50 list price. Verified on formspark.io/pricing, October 14, 2026.
How much does Formspark cost?
Formspark costs $0 for the first 250 submissions on 10 forms. The paid step is a $25 one-time bundle for 50,000 submissions and 100 forms, which works out to about $0.50 per 1,000 submissions; the bundle’s list price is $50. There is no monthly subscription on the documented offer, so you buy another bundle only when the balance runs low.
Do Formspark submissions expire?
No. Formspark uses prepaid credits that do not expire monthly, so a quiet site can use the same balance over a long period rather than losing it at the end of each billing month. Check the current workspace terms before a large purchase.
What happens when the Formspark balance runs out?
Formspark’s limits guide describes a buffer and held submissions after the balance runs out, so traffic is not simply discarded at zero. Held submissions should be treated as a short grace period, not free capacity: top up or move the form before the buffer fills. The same guide differs from the pricing page on upgraded team limits — pricing lists 50 members, while the guide describes no practical limit — so confirm the applicable limit if collaboration matters.
Does Formspark store file uploads?
Not as the storage provider. Formspark’s upload guide describes uploading the file to a separate service such as Uploadcare or Cloudinary, then submitting the resulting URL, and Formspark stores that reference rather than the file itself. Budget for the upload provider’s own allowance and check that the link stays available to the people who need it.
Are Formspark webhooks signed?
No. Formspark’s webhook guide says it sends a JSON POST to your receiver and does not sign the requests, so your endpoint cannot verify an HMAC signature from Formspark. Validate the payload and add your own authentication arrangement. splitforms’ paid plans use HMAC-SHA256 signed webhooks, so a receiver can check the signature before creating a CRM record or triggering work.
Does Formspark have a management API?
Yes, on upgraded workspaces. Formspark’s REST API is separately authenticated and is used for managing forms and reading submissions; its documentation warns that repeating a write can create another resource. Keep those management credentials on an authorized server, not in your public form.
How do I move a Formspark form to splitforms?
Point the form’s action at https://splitforms.com/api/submit with method="POST" and add a hidden access_key input that identifies your form. The fields stay the same. File uploads are supported on splitforms paid plans, and you can also submit as fetch/JSON from React, Next.js or any frontend. Send one test submission before you retire the Formspark form.
Try splitforms instead of Formspark.
Move your Formspark form in one line, then send up to 500 submissions total free — unlimited forms, no credit card required.
