A Web3Forms alternative with a client portal

Both are aimed at sites without a backend. Web3Forms optimises for email delivery with an embedded access key; Formivo optimises for stored submissions you can hand to a client.

What Web3Forms offers

Free plan: 250 submissions per month plus basic features.
Integration uses a hidden `access_key` input embedded in the form markup.
The vendor states the access key is not a secret and is safe in client-side code.
Paid plans add file uploads, autoresponses, CAPTCHA support, webhooks, Google Sheets and team features.

Who Web3Forms suits

• A single static page that only needs to email its owner.
• Sites where a plain HTML snippet is the entire integration budget.
• Low-volume sites that fit inside 250 submissions a month.

Where Formivo works differently

• No access key in your markup: the form id identifies the form, and abuse control is server-side.
• Submissions are first-class records with statuses, search and filters rather than an email trail.
• Client viewers get their own read-only login instead of sharing an owner inbox.
• Monthly quota is enforced in the same transaction as the insert, so a spike cannot silently overrun the plan.

Choose Web3Forms if…

• You want the smallest possible snippet and only need email.
• You rely on paid add-ons such as autoresponders or Sheets that you already configured.
• You have no client-facing workflow at all.

Choose Formivo if…

• You want submissions stored, searchable and handed to clients safely.
• You do not want a key visible in your page source, even a harmless one.
• You need per-form access control with an audit trail of grants and revocations.

Questions people ask

Is a public access key actually a security problem?

Not automatically — Web3Forms designs it as a public alias for an email address. The trade-off is that anyone who copies it can post to that form, so abuse control has to come from rate limits and spam filtering rather than from the key being secret.

Can both products be used at the same time?

Yes, on different forms. Point one form at Web3Forms and another at Formivo; they are independent endpoints.
