Originally published on the BootForm blog . I work on BootForm, one of the options compared here.

In short: a static site can't receive a form by itself, so the form posts to a form backend that emails you the message. On any host, BootForm and Web3Forms give the most free submissions, 250 a month. BootForm also includes Cloudflare Turnstile, Discord notifications and an MCP server for AI coding agents on its free plan, and you don't need an account to start. If your site is already on Netlify, Netlify Forms is free with no submission cap. Forminit and Basin accept file uploads for free. Or write a small function yourself, if you want full control and don't mind looking after it.

Every number below comes from each provider's own pricing page or docs, checked on 23 October 2026. Prices change, so check the provider's page before you commit.…
