Web3Forms pricing and free plan limits, compared to splitforms.
Short answer: Web3Forms' free plan allows 250 submissions per month with 30-day submission history, and webhooks, file uploads, and its Submissions API sit behind paid tiers. splitforms gives 500 free submissions with no card and no time limit across unlimited forms, searchable history with no automatic expiry, and signed webhooks on Pro at $5/month or Annual at $49/year.
How much does Web3Forms cost?
Web3Forms publishes one free tier plus Pro and Agency & Team paid tiers, each priced monthly or yearly, that scale the monthly submission allowance. A discounted yearly plan (labelled Starter in its comparison table) is granted by application to students, startups, and nonprofits. Features like webhooks, file uploads, and the Submissions API unlock on paid plans; hCaptcha is free.

Web3Forms pricing vs splitforms pricing: where the free plans differ
Web3Forms' 250/month free tier is generous, but splitforms' 500 submissions total is larger still — and splitforms removes the 30-day history window so older leads stay searchable, with rule-based spam scoring on every submission.
| Limit | Web3Forms | splitforms |
|---|---|---|
| Free submissions | 250/month | 500 total |
| Free form endpoints | Unlimited forms, unlimited domains | Unlimited forms |
| Free submission history | 30 days | Searchable history, no automatic expiry |
| Paid submission history | 3 months on the discounted plan, 1 year on Pro and Agency & Team | No automatic expiry on every plan |
| Spam protection | Advanced spam protection + free hCaptcha; reCAPTCHA v3 and Turnstile are paid | Rule-based spam scoring + honeypot, time-trap field, rate limits, optional reCAPTCHA v2 |
| Webhooks | Paid tiers | HMAC-signed webhooks on Pro ($5/mo) and Annual ($49/yr) |
| File uploads | Paid tiers | Multipart uploads on paid plans (5 files × 5 MB) |
| API access | Submissions API is a paid feature | REST API + free MCP server on every plan |
| Monthly billing | Pro $15/mo (10,000/mo) | Pro $5/mo (5,000/mo) |
| Yearly billing | Pro $149/yr (10,000/mo) | Annual $49/yr (15,000/mo) |
| Best fit | Simple static-site endpoints under 250/mo | Sites that want 500 free submissions up front, search history, and AI-agent access |
When Web3Forms is enough — and when it isn't
Web3Forms and splitforms solve the same problem with different limits. Use the checklist below to see which one fits the site you're building today.
- 250 monthly submissions and 30 days of history cover the project.
- You already rely on its free hCaptcha or its paid Google Sheets, Slack, Discord, or Telegram integrations.
- You need its higher paid allowances (up to 20,000 submissions/month).
- You want 500 free submissions total and long-term searchable history.
- You want signed webhooks, exports, and native integrations from $5/month (Pro).
- You want rule-based spam scoring and an MCP server so AI agents can read submissions.
How to move a Web3Forms form to splitforms
Migration is one URL change plus a key swap. Existing field names, validation, and styling work without modification — keep the old endpoint available until a production test confirms delivery.
- 01
Get a free access key. Sign in to splitforms and copy the access key for your form. The Free plan needs no credit card.
- 02
Swap the endpoint. Change the form’s action from https://api.web3forms.com/submit to https://splitforms.com/api/submit and keep method="POST". Keep the hidden access_key field — just replace its value.
- 03
Keep the honeypot field. Leave the hidden botcheck input empty so real submissions pass spam filtering.
- 04
Send a test submission. Submit the form once, confirm it lands in your splitforms dashboard and inbox, then retire the old Web3Forms access key. Keep the old endpoint live until the production test passes.
<form action="https://splitforms.com/api/submit" method="POST">
<input type="hidden" name="access_key" value="YOUR_ACCESS_KEY" />
<input type="checkbox" name="botcheck" style="display:none" tabindex="-1" />
<input name="name" required />
<input name="email" type="email" required />
<textarea name="message" required></textarea>
<button type="submit">Send</button>
</form>
