Contact forms for websites. Free.

No server, no backend code. Paste one snippet (or let your AI agent do it) and confirm your email once. Submissions land in your inbox.

500 submissions a month, free — ten times the most common free tier.
No password, no card. Your key exists in about twenty seconds.
Past the limit nothing is dropped. We hold it and deliver it later.

Free forever. No card. Your form is working in about twenty seconds; you click one confirmation email to start receiving.

index.html POST

<form action="https://honeyforms.dev/s/YOUR_KEY" method="POST">
  <input type="email" name="email" required>

Try it right here: create a key and send yourself a real submission from this page.

Creating a key accepts the Terms, which incorporate the Privacy Policy and the Data Processing Agreement.

Your key:

Keep your read_token private — it reads the messages people send you, which are their personal data, not yours.

Works with any HTML form, on any host. Astro · Next.js · Nuxt · Hugo · Svelte · Eleventy · Webflow · plain HTML

How it works

Paste the snippet

Set the action on the form you already have, and deploy. No build step, no dependency, no JavaScript required.

Submissions are stored

From the very first one, before you have confirmed anything. Nothing waits on you to be safe.

Confirm your email

One click, once. Everything held until then arrives in a single digest, in order, with each original date.

Built for agents

The form backend your AI agent can wire up alone

The agent you already have open can finish the job, and the only thing left for you is one click in your inbox.

Paste into Claude Code, Cursor or Codex

Add a contact form to this site using honeyforms.dev. Create the endpoint with my email and paste the snippet into the contact page.
Follow the guide on honeyforms.dev/llms.txt

POST /v1/endpoints → submit_url, read_token, snippet no auth

How the free plans compare

The honest reason to pick this one is the free tier itself. No trial, no card, nothing expiring. Here is how it sits against what a free form backend usually gives you.

	HoneyForms Free	Typical free plan
Submissions per month	500	50–250
Forms on the free plan	unlimited	1 – unlimited
Submission history	30 days	up to 30 days
Honeypot, rate limits, domain lock and Turnstile	✓	usually paid
Export your data, CSV and JSON	✓	usually paid
Custom redirect after submit	✓	usually paid
Nothing dropped past the limit	✓	—
Endpoint from one unauthenticated API call	✓	—

The four things that break form backends

Each one is a way a contact form dies quietly. These are the mechanisms, not the adjectives.

Your form fills up with bots

The honeypot ships hidden inside the snippet, behind rate limits per key and per IP and heuristics on the message — free on every plan. Turnstile is there when you need it, off until you do.

You just want to hit reply

Mail leaves our own authenticated domain with the visitor in Reply-To, so hitting reply answers the person who filled the form — not us, and not a no-reply address.

You go over the quota

Past your limit we keep receiving and storing, hold the email, and release everything in one digest when the month turns or you upgrade. The visitor never sees an error.

Your key is public

It has to be — it lives in your HTML. On the first real submission we lock the endpoint to that domain, apex and www together, so a copied key cannot spend your quota.

Extras are meant to push an upgrade, not to punish one. At about 16,000 submissions a month, Pro plus extras costs exactly what Scale costs; above that Scale is cheaper, and we say so instead of letting the bill grow quietly.

Before you build on it

The questions worth asking about a free service that will be holding messages from your visitors.

Why is it free? How will you make money?

The paid plans above are the plan: people whose forms outgrow 500 submissions a month, or who need webhooks, an autoresponder and the REST API, will pay for them. The free tier is not a trial and does not expire — it is how you find out whether the thing works before any of that matters.

What happens when I pass 500 submissions in a month?

Nothing is lost and your form never breaks for the visitor: the endpoint keeps answering normally, keeps receiving and keeps storing. It is the email that waits. Everything held goes out in a single digest, in order and with each original date, when the month resets or the account upgrades. Held submissions are never deleted by retention.

One number the pricing table does not show: before you click the confirmation link, the cap is 50 rather than 500. Confirming lifts it immediately, and nothing received in the meantime is lost.

Do I need JavaScript?

No. A plain HTML <form> with an action is the whole integration, and it works with JavaScript disabled, in a browser that never loaded a framework. The single exception is Turnstile, which needs a widget script — and it ships off, for exactly that reason.

Do I need an account?

Not to create an endpoint and not to receive submissions. The key comes back in the API response, and the confirmation email is the only step that needs a human. You sign in — with a one-time link, there is no password — when you want the panel: history, the domain editor, CSV export and your read_token.

Who is the data controller, and where does it go?

The people filling your form own that data, you are its controller and we are the processor. The Data Processing Agreement says so, is published rather than signed, and is incorporated into the Terms by reference — creating a key accepts it, and we record the acceptance with the version that was in force. The Privacy Policy lists what we keep and for how long.

Can I get my data out and leave?

Yes, on the free plan, with no paywall in the way: every submission exports as CSV or JSON, from the panel or from the API with your read_token. The snippet is a plain form action, so switching away is editing one attribute. Nothing here is designed to be hard to leave.
