SplitForms

What is SplitForms?

SplitForms is a hosted form backend service that eliminates the need for server-side code, PHP, or SMTP configuration when handling web form submissions. Simply point any HTML, React, Next.js, WordPress, or AI-generated form to the SplitForms API endpoint, and every submission is automatically spam-filtered, saved to a searchable dashboard, and emailed to you instantly.

Who It's For & What Problem It Solves

Designed for developers, agencies, indie makers, and teams building contact forms, lead capture pages, booking forms, or any web-based data collection. SplitForms solves the infrastructure hassle: no need to set up mail servers, write backend validation logic, or manage database storage. It's production-ready infrastructure priced for side projects, with a Free plan offering 500 lifetime submissions (no card, no expiry) and paid plans starting at just $5/month.
