Form backends

Web3Forms alternative for a form that is really a line.

A form-to-email backend: point any HTML form at their endpoint and submissions land in your inbox.

Who Web3Forms is for
Developers and site builders who already have a form and want it to email them without running a server.
Their price
Free (250 submissions/mo, 30-day history); Pro $16/mo or $13/mo yearly; branding removal is a $9/mo add-on (web3forms.com)
Unwaited
Free for 100 signups a month; Starter $10 a month for 2,500.

When Web3Forms is the better choice

  • Works with any form you already wrote: change the action attribute and you are done.
  • Google Sheets, Slack, Discord, and Telegram integrations on Pro.
  • 10,000 submissions a month on Pro, twice our Pro cap.
  • General purpose: contact, support, and survey forms, not only lines.

When Unwaited is

  • Every entry is kept forever on every plan. Web3Forms deletes free-plan submissions after 30 days and Pro's after a year.
  • The form knows it is a line: a cap per day, week, or month, opening hours, a number for each joiner, and a status page they can check.
  • A hosted page and QR code out of the box, so you do not need a site at all.
  • Badge removal, joiner emails, allowed domains, and file uploads in one $20 plan. Web3Forms is $16 plus $9 for the badge.

FAQ

Questions

Can I keep my existing HTML form and post to Unwaited?

Yes. POST to the public entries endpoint with an API key, or paste the script tag and let it render the form. Validation and the cap apply either way.

Does Unwaited delete submissions on the free plan?

No. Every plan keeps every entry. The only thing that removes entries is you: deleting them, or setting a retention period on a waitlist.

Does Unwaited email the person who submitted?

Yes, when you turn on joiner emails for that waitlist. They get their number and a status link where they can check their place or leave the line.
