A Getform (now Forminit) alternative that keeps submissions past your limit

What Getform (Forminit) is

Getform has run since 2015 and was renamed Forminit in January 2026; getform.io now redirects to forminit.com. You POST your form to a Forminit endpoint or use its JavaScript SDK. It includes file uploads, workflows and an unlimited submission archive on the free plan.

What to know before you choose

• Forminit’s free plan includes 1 form and 100 submissions a month.
• When you reach the monthly limit, forms “pause and reject new submissions”, and those submissions “are not stored or queued, so they can’t be recovered”.
• Webhooks, Google Sheets, Slack and CSV export are listed on Pro and above.

Getform (Forminit) vs FormRill

Sources, checked 6 November 2026: Forminit (formerly Getform) pricing, Forminit homepage and FAQ. getform.io redirects to forminit.com. Forminit’s pricing page and homepage FAQ list different paid prices, so we have left prices out. Check their pricing page for current numbers. 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 Getform (Forminit)

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

<!-- or your Forminit endpoint -->
<form action="https://getform.io/f/YOUR_GETFORM_ID" method="POST">
  <!-- 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. Your first form is created for you and already emails your address. Copy its form URL.
2. Replace the Getform or Forminit endpoint in your form’s action with the FormRill form URL. Keep your field names: FormRill stores whatever fields you send.
3. Add the hidden honeypot field: <input type="checkbox" name="botcheck" hidden>.
4. Want visitors to land on your own thank-you page? Add a hidden field named redirect with the full URL, or set it once in the dashboard.
5. Send a test submission and check your inbox and the FormRill dashboard. Keep your old form for a few days, then retire it.
