Formspree free plan limits (2026): 50 submissions per month.
Short answer: Formspree's Free tier includes 50 submissions per month, unlimited forms and projects, 30 days of submission history, and up to two linked notification emails. These limits were verified against Formspree's official documentation on July 24, 2026. The comparison below shows when that is enough and when a higher-limit form backend makes sense.

When Formspree's free plan is still enough
- A personal portfolio that gets one or two inquiries a month.
- A tiny static page where email-only notification is enough.
- A legacy site already using Formspree and not worth touching yet.
When to switch off Formspree's 50/month free plan
- You want room for real traffic before paying: 500 free submissions instead of 50.
- You need signed webhooks for Slack, Discord, HubSpot, n8n, Zapier, or a custom API.
- You want spam filtering, search, CSV export, and developer plans that start at $1/month.
How to switch from Formspree to splitforms in 5 minutes
- Step 1
Keep your existing field names
Don't rebuild the form. Leave name, email, message, and any custom inputs exactly as they are today.
- Step 2
Create a free access key
Sign in to splitforms and generate an access key for the form. The free plan is 500 submissions a month with no credit card required.
- Step 3
Swap the form action
Point action at https://splitforms.com/api/submit with method="POST", and add a hidden access_key input holding your key.
- Step 4
Keep a honeypot in place
Add a hidden botcheck input (style="display:none") as a spam trap. splitforms also runs rate limiting and content checks automatically.
- Step 5
Send a test submission
Submit the form once and confirm it lands in your splitforms dashboard. Owner email notifications are included free on every plan.
- Step 6
Upgrade only if you outgrow 500/month
Starter is $1/month for 1,000 submissions and unlocks signed webhooks, CSV export, and an auto-responder when you actually need them.
<!-- Same fields you already use. Swap the action + access_key. -->
<form action="https://splitforms.com/api/submit" method="POST">
<input type="hidden" name="access_key" value="YOUR_ACCESS_KEY" />
<input name="name" required />
<input name="email" type="email" required />
<textarea name="message" required></textarea>
<input type="checkbox" name="botcheck" style="display:none" tabindex="-1" />
<button type="submit">Send</button>
</form>The endpoint accepts multipart uploads too. Full field reference and error codes are in the docs.
Formspree free plan limits: frequently asked questions
What are the Formspree free plan submission limits?
Formspree's account-limits documentation says submission allowances start at 50 per month on the Free tier. It also says the Free plan stores 30 days of submission history and can link up to two email addresses for notifications.
Does Formspree still limit free users to one form?
Formspree's December 2025 account-limits documentation says every plan includes unlimited forms and projects. The meaningful Free-plan limit is the monthly submission allowance, not form count.
How does splitforms compare?
splitforms includes 500 submissions per month on the free plan, plus dashboard storage, spam filtering, REST reads, and unlimited forms. Starter adds signed webhooks, CSV export, and integrations. No credit card is required for Free.
When should I stay on Formspree?
Stay on Formspree if your current forms are working, traffic is well below 50 submissions per month, and your team already prefers the Formspree dashboard. Switch when the 50/month cap, webhook needs, or spam filtering become the bottleneck.
How do I switch a form from Formspree to splitforms?
Keep your existing input names, then change two things: point the form's action at https://splitforms.com/api/submit and add a hidden access_key input with the key from your splitforms dashboard. No other markup changes are required.
What happens when I need more than 500 free submissions a month?
Upgrade inside the same dashboard: Starter is $1/month for 1,000 submissions, Pro is $5/month for 5,000, and the 3-Year plan is a $59 one-time payment for 15,000/month. Business (unlimited) is available by contacting hello@splitforms.com.
Do I need a credit card to start on splitforms' free plan?
No. The free plan — 500 submissions a month, unlimited forms, spam filtering, and email notifications — doesn't require a credit card to sign up.
Will I lose email notifications if I stay on the free plan?
No. Owner email notifications are included free on every splitforms plan, including Free. Paid plans add webhooks, CSV/XML/PDF export, and an auto-responder — not the notifications themselves.
