- hardwaresofton 2y agoThere absolutely are, and I'm super happy if people use them :) Gotta admit this was 100% more to scratch my own itch than anything -- I'm pretty sure I built it in a weekend (plus a little bit probably :) and haven't touched it since!
- mmarian 2y agoFair enough, I was wondering whether I was missing something out. How many users do you have at the moment?
- Etheryte 2y agoUnless I'm mistaken, Formspree doesn't have a free production tier, they only offer free setups for dev/test. The submission above does have an ad supported free tier, so that's already something. Case in point, my own website gets maybe one contact form submission a month, so it wouldn't really be worth paying a monthly subscription to keep that bit alive if I didn't have a server already.
- mmarian 2y agoFormspree has a free plan, 50 subs/month: https://formspree.io/plans https://formspree.io/plans . No ads either. I'm in a similar situation, a site with one form submission a month (https://ukcompanydatabase.com https://ukcompanydatabase.com) , and it works like a charm.
- Etheryte 2y agoThat page specifically says the free plan is for development and testing only. Not much point in setting up a form when it might get silently g-lined at any point for ToS violations.
- mmarian 2y agoOh, yes you're right, I never read that properly, how odd. Well, it's been working fine and I can't be bothered but I'll keep this service in mind. Thanks!
