FormDock vs Web3Forms
Web3Forms is a well-liked, developer-focused form API with a generous free tier — great for solo developers. The gap FormDock fills is everything that starts mattering when the forms belong to clients: storage, workspaces, routing, and an audit trail.
Where Web3Forms shines
- Generous free tier for solo developers
- Dead-simple access-key setup, no account required to start
- Popular and battle-tested in the static-site community
Where FormDock shines
- Submissions are stored and searchable — Web3Forms is email-forwarding first, so there's no archive if an email is missed
- Client workspaces with per-form notification routing and one invoice
- Soft limits: over-cap leads are stored, never bounced
- Per-form data retention windows for GDPR processors
| Web3Forms | FormDock | |
|---|---|---|
| Positioning | Email API for static-site forms | Stored, routed form backend for client work |
| Submission storage | Email-first; storage limited by plan | Every submission stored, searchable, exportable |
| Client workspaces | No | Unlimited on Agency |
| White-label emails | Pro features | Agency plan and up |
| Spam stack | hCaptcha + honeypot | Turnstile + honeypot + heuristics; spam quarantined, reviewable |
| Webhooks | Yes | Yes, HMAC-signed with retries |
| Entry paid plan | ~$12/mo Pro | $15/mo — 1,000 submissions |
For a personal site or a single project, Web3Forms' free tier is hard to beat and we'd honestly point you there. FormDock earns its price when submissions are business leads you can't lose and the sites belong to clients who each need their own inbox, archive, and clean handoff.
