Know how your form works before you upgrade.

Your contact form is part of your website, not a mystery box. html.contact includes the real setup on Free so you can test attachments, logs, exports, API access, routing, domain allowlists, and spam controls before paying.

Compare the upgrade gates.

The cheapest plan is rarely the real answer. Check the production features that decide whether a normal contact form is ready to ship.

Attachments on Free

Test a real file upload before checkout. No fake demo, no paid-plan surprise.

Email and logs

Accepted submissions can route to email and remain inspectable in the dashboard.

Exports and API

CSV, JSON, and private API access are part of the production setup.

Source controls

Verified recipients, domain allowlists, spam screening, and rejected-attempt handling stay visible.

See what other form backends charge for.

Each page shows where html.contact gives you the real setup first, and where another tool starts charging for production features.

Competitor Upgrade gate to check

Formspree

A familiar name, but uploads, API access, and workflow features get expensive quickly.

Against html.contact's $8/1,000 and $19/5,000 tiers, Formspree unlocks uploads at $15/month for 200 submissions and API access at $30/month for 2,000.

Forminit

Uploads are not the whole setup. Exports and API access still need a closer look.

CSV export, webhooks, Slack, Discord, and analytics start on Pro at $19/month. API access needs a close read before you rely on it.

Formtorch

Uploads, exports, routing, and API access do not all prove out on the same tier.

Uploads and API access start on Starter at $10/month. Email routing rules move to their Pro plan at $20/month.

FormKeep

Attachments and integrations are the gates to inspect before you choose a form backend.

File attachments start on Essential at $4.99/month. All integrations move to Professional at $19.50/month.

form.taxi

Automation can be useful, but uploads and API access still sit behind a higher plan.
