On Web3Forms
Web3Forms turns any HTML form into a working contact form by sending submissions straight to your inbox without writing backend code. You paste a short HTML snippet with your access key, and form data arrives via email and is stored for 30 days on the free tier. It supports 20+ frontend stacks (React, Vue, Svelte, Webflow, etc.) and includes spam protection, custom redirects, and integrations like Google Sheets, Slack, and Zapier on paid plans.
If you need a contact form that just works without touching a backend, Web3Forms is the simplest route. The free tier is genuinely useful for low-volume sites, and paid plans scale affordably with real integrations like Google Sheets and Slack. The biggest trade-off is that submissions are email-first with limited retention on the free plan, so teams needing a database or high-volume logging should look elsewhere.

Frequently asked questions
Is this service really free?
Yes. Web3Forms offers a free plan with 250 monthly submissions, unlimited forms and domains, and basic features. No credit card is required to start.
What are the limits of the free plan?
The free plan allows 250 monthly form submissions, 30 days of submission history, up to 3 email recipients per form, and 2 linked email addresses.
My Access Key is publicly available. Is that safe?
The Access Key is not a secret API key; it acts as an alias to your email address. On Pro plans you can restrict submissions to trusted domains for extra protection.
How can I cancel or modify my plan?
Use the 'Manage Subscription' link on the billing page in your account or contact support to cancel or change your plan.
What happens if I exceed the submission limit?
You’ll receive a warning at 90% of your limit and a final notice at 100%. Once exceeded, new submissions are paused until the next month or you upgrade.
Is Web3Forms GDPR compliant?
Yes. Web3Forms does not collect personal data beyond form submissions, stores data securely, and deletes it after the retention period without sharing with third parties.
