Free contact form for any website. No backend required.

The free contact form, in 18 lines of HTML

This is the entire form. Replace YOUR_ACCESS_KEY with the key from your dashboard and paste it into any HTML page, React component, Webflow embed block, WordPress Custom HTML widget, or Carrd embed element. Submissions arrive in your dashboard within seconds.

<form action="https://splitforms.com/api/submit" method="POST">
  <input type="hidden" name="access_key" value="YOUR_ACCESS_KEY" />

  <label for="name">Name</label>
  <input id="name" type="text" name="name" required />

  <label for="email">Email</label>
  <input id="email" type="email" name="email" required />

  <label for="message">Message</label>
  <textarea id="message" name="message" rows="5" required></textarea>

  <!-- Honeypot — bots fill it, humans don't. Splitforms drops any
       submission where this field is non-empty. -->
  <input type="checkbox" name="botcheck" style="display:none" tabindex="-1" />

  <button type="submit">Send message</button>
</form>

How it works

Three steps. Sixty seconds. The longest part is choosing a password.

1. Step 01

   Sign up free, get an access key

   Create an account at splitforms.com with email + password. Your access key appears in the dashboard immediately. No credit card, no email verification delay.

2. Step 02

   Paste the HTML form into your site

   Copy the snippet above and drop it into any HTML page, React component, Webflow embed, or WordPress Custom HTML block. Replace YOUR_ACCESS_KEY and you're done.

3. Step 03

   Submissions land in your dashboard

   Every Free submission is stored in the dashboard. Starter adds email notifications plus Slack, Discord, Google Sheets, Notion, Zapier, or any signed webhook URL.

What's included on the free plan

Everything below is on the free tier. Not a trial, not feature- gated, not a teaser of the paid plan.

• 500 submissions per month

  Per account, across 2 forms. Resets the 1st of every month.

• Unlimited forms

  One access key works for every form on every site you own. Build as many as you want.

• Real dashboard

  View, search, filter, and export submissions at splitforms.com/dashboard.

• Webhooks (Slack, Discord, HTTP)

  Forward submissions to Slack channels, Discord servers, or any signed HTTP endpoint. Free, no rate limit.

• Spam protection

  Honeypot field plus an AI classifier. No CAPTCHA, no reCAPTCHA banner, no friction for legit visitors.

• CSV export

  One-click export of all submissions for backup, CRM import, or offline analysis.

• No credit card to start

  Email + password and you have a working access key. Upgrade only if you outgrow 500/mo.

• Powered-by attribution

  Notification emails include a small 'Powered by splitforms' footer. Removed on paid plans.

Why splitforms is actually free (forever)

Most "free" contact form services are free until you send the third submission, or until your fourteen-day trial ends, or until you discover that webhooks are gated behind the $29/mo plan. The free tier exists to harvest your email and your form traffic into a paid funnel. The volume cap is set so low (often 50–100 submissions/month) that any real site hits the wall in week one.

splitforms is built differently. The free plan is a real plan — 500 submissions a month, every month, no credit card, no trial timer, no feature gates on webhooks or spam filtering or CSV export. The cap is set high enough that a personal site, a portfolio, a small business landing page, or a launched-yesterday indie SaaS can run on it indefinitely without hitting the limit. We pay for our own bandwidth at this volume — it is genuinely a give-away tier, and that is the point.

The upsell path is opt-in and proportional: Pro is $5/month for 5,000 submissions if a marketing campaign or launch pushes you past the free cap, and the 3-Year plan is $59 every 3 years for 15,000 submissions/month over 36 months for sites that need long-term high volume. Both plans add team seats, remove the "Powered by" attribution, and unlock priority support. If you never need them, you never see a billing prompt. That is the deal.
