- No API access
- Email-only means no data backup if emails are deleted
Migrate from FormSubmit in 5 Minutes
Switching is as simple as changing one URL. Here's how:
- 1
Create a free SnapForm account to get a dashboard for all your submissions.
- 2
Replace the FormSubmit action URL (formsubmit.co/your@email.com) with your SnapForm endpoint.
- 3
Remove the FormSubmit reCAPTCHA field — SnapForm uses invisible honeypot fields instead.

- 5
You'll now have a full dashboard with search, export, and file upload capabilities.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Why switch from FormSubmit if it's free?
- FormSubmit only sends submissions to email — no dashboard, no search, no export, no file uploads, no webhooks. SnapForm's free plan gives you 50 submissions/mo with a full dashboard, file uploads, and spam protection. For serious projects, the upgrade to Pro at $9/mo gives you 2,000 submissions with every feature.
- Does SnapForm have a free plan like FormSubmit?
- Yes. SnapForm's free plan includes 1 form, 50 submissions/mo, email notifications, spam protection, and file uploads (1 file, 2 MB). Unlike FormSubmit, you also get a full submission dashboard.
- Can I keep using FormSubmit for some forms and SnapForm for others?
- Absolutely. Each form is independent. You can migrate forms one at a time by changing the action URL.
