FormBridge vs Formspree

Formspree is the household name in form backends. FormBridge is the newer take — focused on routing, deliverability, and an inbox that doesn't feel like a spreadsheet. Here's a clear comparison.

FormBridge VS Formspree
TL;DR

Pick FormBridge if…

You want per-form SMTP, real conditional routing, large file uploads, and an actual inbox UI — not a list view + dashboard chrome.

TL;DR

Pick Formspree if…

You want a battle-tested product with React/Vue components and a long track record. Mature, but expensive once you scale past the free cap.

PRICE

Free beta vs paid plans

FormBridge is in open beta — every feature, free. Formspree's free tier is 50 submissions/mo; pricing jumps to $10–$40+ from there.

01 / Pricing

Free tier that actually lets you ship.

Formspree's free tier caps at 50 submissions/month — enough to test, not enough to launch. FormBridge gives you 10,000/mo on the beta plan, every feature included.

02 / Email

Per-form SMTP, not account-wide.

Formspree sends from one configured sender. FormBridge lets each form pick its own SMTP — marketing from hello@, support from support@, careers from jobs@.

03 / Files

4× the upload limit.

Formspree caps uploads around 25 MB. FormBridge accepts up to 100 MB, with server-side MIME validation. Resumes, designs, screen recordings — all welcome.

04 / Templates

Design emails visually.

Formspree leaves email design to you and your HTML editor. FormBridge ships a visual template designer with live preview — brand notifications and autoresponders without touching markup.

Migrate in two minutes.

Create a FormBridge endpoint, swap the URL in your form's action attribute, and submissions flow into the new dashboard immediately. Nothing else to migrate.
