A FormSubmit.co alternative with a dashboard and no email address in your HTML

What FormSubmit.co is

FormSubmit is a free form endpoint with no registration. You set your form’s action to formsubmit.co followed by your email address, confirm that address once, and submissions are emailed to you. Special hidden fields such as _replyto and _autoresponse add extras.

What to know before you choose

• The documented setup puts your email address in the form’s action URL, so it sits in your page’s public HTML.
• You confirm your email address before the first submissions arrive.

FormSubmit.co vs FormRill

Sources, checked 3 November 2026: FormSubmit.co homepage and setup instructions. formsubmit.co did not respond when we checked (HTTP 522), so these points come from its published setup instructions as indexed by search. Check the site for current details. FormRill details come from our pricing page.

What FormRill gives you

• Never lose a submission. Every submission is saved before anything is delivered, so a failed email or webhook can’t lose it. Every delivery is logged, failures email you, and failed deliveries are retried automatically for about a day, or whenever you press Retry now. Free on every plan.
• One click to email. Your first form already sends to your inbox. If your form has an email field, Reply goes straight to the visitor.
• Route it anywhere. Telegram is free. Google Sheets, WhatsApp, webhooks, n8n and your CRM are Pro features, free during the beta.
• No CAPTCHA. A hidden honeypot field catches bots and keeps them in a Spam folder, out of your inbox.

Switching from FormSubmit.co

The change is in your form’s opening tag. Your fields stay as they are.

<form action="https://formsubmit.co/your@email.com" method="POST">
  <input type="hidden" name="_next" value="https://example.com/thanks" />
  <!-- your existing fields -->
</form>

<form action="https://api.formrill.com/YOUR_FORM_ID/submit" method="POST">
  <input type="checkbox" name="botcheck" hidden />
  <!-- your existing fields -->
</form>

1. Create a free FormRill account with the same email address. Your first form already emails you. Copy its form URL.
2. Replace https://formsubmit.co/your@email.com in your form’s action with the FormRill form URL. Your address is no longer in your HTML.
3. Remove FormSubmit’s special fields such as _captcha and _template. Rename _next to redirect if you use a thank-you page.
4. Add the hidden honeypot field: <input type="checkbox" name="botcheck" hidden>.
5. Send a test submission. It arrives in your inbox and is saved in your dashboard.
