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.

How to switch to FormDoc

  1. Create a free access key with the email address that should receive submissions.
  2. Change your form’s action and add the key as a hidden field. Your existing fields keep working: each name becomes a label in your email.
HTML
<form action="https://api.formdoc.dev/v1/submit" method="POST">
  <input type="hidden" name="access_key" value="YOUR_ACCESS_KEY">
  <!-- your existing fields stay as they are -->
  <input type="checkbox" name="botcheck" style="display:none" tabindex="-1" autocomplete="off">
  <button type="submit">Send</button>
</form>
  1. Send a test submission and check your inbox. See the setup guide for redirects, JavaScript and every option.
