FAQ
Common questions.
Why switch from Netlify Forms?
If you host on multiple platforms, move hosts often, or need agency-level team controls, FormsFort is a vendor-neutral alternative.
Does FormsFort integrate with Netlify builds?
No. FormsFort is an API endpoint, not a build plugin. It works with any static or dynamic site.
Can I keep using Netlify for hosting?
Absolutely. Use Netlify for hosting and FormsFort for form endpoints if you want portability or advanced controls.
Is Netlify Forms cheaper?
Netlify Forms can be free and unlimited on Netlify's current credit-based plans. FormsFort wins on portability, webhooks at lower tiers, and agency features—not raw price.
