FormDoc vs Web3Forms
Web3Forms and FormDoc work the same way: an access key in a hidden field, no account needed for your first form, and 250 free submissions a month. The differences are in spam options, where your data lives and price.
Web3Forms’s figures are from its own website on 29 October 2026 and may have changed since. FormDoc’s paid plans are opening soon; every new form starts on Free.
