CatchForm is a form backend for static websites. You change one attribute in your HTML — the form's action — and submissions start landing in an inbox.
Each submission is stored, shown in a web inbox, emailed to an address you confirm, and optionally POSTed to a webhook. Field names are yours: whatever your HTML sends is what gets saved.
It works on any host — Netlify, Vercel, Cloudflare Pages, GitHub Pages, S3, your own server — and keeps working if you move between them. Built for developers using Astro, Hugo, Eleventy, Jekyll and plain HTML, where there is no server to process a contact form.
Free plan: 1 form, 100 submissions a month, no card. Pro is $12/month or $120/year: 10 forms, 10,000 submissions a month, file uploads and webhooks.
Spam is filtered with a honeypot field. Redirects are restricted to the host you configure, so your endpoint cannot be used to launder links.
Static Forms is a simple backend service for handling HTML form submissions without needing a server or backend code. It’s designed for static websites built with tools like HTML, React, Next.js, and other JAMstack frameworks.
With Static Forms, you can collect form submissions directly to your email, integrate with webhooks, and manage spam protection with built-in features like CAPTCHA and validation.
It’s a lightweight and developer-friendly alternative to traditional form handling solutions, allowing you to focus on building your frontend while StaticForms takes care of the backend.

CatchForm.dev's answer
CatchForm is deliberately not a form builder. Your HTML defines the fields — whatever your form posts is what gets stored — so adding a field means editing your own markup, not reconfiguring anything here.
Two defaults are unusual. Notifications only go to an address you have confirmed by clicking a link sent to it, so an endpoint cannot be pointed at a stranger's mailbox. And redirects after submit are restricted to the host you set in your form's settings, so the endpoint cannot be used to bounce visitors to somewhere else.
Submissions are stored independently of email. If a notification bounces or lands in spam, the message is still in your inbox here.
StaticForms.dev's answer:
Static Forms is the only form backend that combines zero-setup submission handling with built-in integrations (Mailchimp, Zapier, Slack, Google Sheets), AI-powered auto-replies, custom sender domains, and a native WordPress plugin â all behind a single API endpoint with no server required.
CatchForm.dev's answer
Because it is not tied to where your site is hosted. The same form works on Netlify, Vercel, Cloudflare Pages, GitHub Pages, S3 or your own server, and keeps working when you move between them.
The free plan is meant to be used on a real site rather than to expire: one form, 100 submissions a month, no card. Pro is $12/month or $120/year for 10 forms, 10,000 submissions a month, file uploads and webhooks.
It is built and supported by one developer. Support, billing and bug reports go to one address and are answered by the person who wrote the code — there is no ticket queue to navigate.
StaticForms.dev's answer:
Static Forms offers more integrations out of the box than Formspree or Basin, while keeping setup to a single line of HTML. You get spam filtering, email verification, bounce handling, Mailchimp audience sync, and AI auto-responders without touching a backend â and a generous free tier with no vendor lock-in.
CatchForm.dev's answer
Developers and small web studios building static sites — Astro, Hugo, Eleventy, Jekyll, or hand-written HTML — where there is no server to process a contact form and adding one is out of proportion to the need.
Typically a portfolio, a landing page, documentation, or a small business site with a contact or enquiry form. People who want the form to work, not a form product to learn.
StaticForms.dev's answer:
Developers and small agencies building static or JAMstack sites who need reliable form handling without managing a server. This includes freelancers shipping client sites on WordPress or Next.js, indie hackers on HTML/GitHub Pages, and startups who want CRM integrations without a custom backend.
CatchForm.dev's answer
CatchForm grew out of a set of small tools built by one developer in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan. The form backend was the one with demand that never goes away: every static site eventually needs a contact form, and every time it means either standing up a server for a single POST or pasting a mailto: link that quietly loses messages.
It launched publicly on catchform.dev in 2026. It stays deliberately small — one job, done properly, rather than a form builder that grows features until it needs a manual.
StaticForms.dev's answer:
Static Forms was built to solve a universal developer frustration: adding a contact form to a static site meant either spinning up a server or paying for bloated SaaS tools. It started as a simple form-to-email relay and evolved into a full form infrastructure platform with integrations, analytics, and spam protection.
