The Web3Forms alternative with a dashboard on every plan
Web3Forms has the most generous free tier in the market, 250 submissions a month with no signup required. But the free experience is email-only. No dashboard, no archive. If an email falls into spam, the submission is gone forever. FormRoute gives you 1,000 free submissions and a real dashboard from day one.
Choose FormRoute if you want a dashboard on the free tier, server-side validation, and routing coming soon. If you've ever lost a lead because a Web3Forms notification fell into spam, FormRoute fixes that permanently.

Questions about switching
Web3Forms doesn't require signup. Does FormRoute?+
Yes, a free account is required, that's how your dashboard and submission history work. Signup takes under a minute.
Will I lose my submission history when switching?+
Web3Forms stores submissions for 30 days on the free plan. Export what you need before switching. FormRoute starts storing from your first submission.
Does FormRoute forward submissions to email like Web3Forms does?+
Yes. Every submission triggers an email notification. The difference is FormRoute also stores them in your dashboard, so you always have a fallback.
Is FormRoute free forever?+
