HTML Forms Straight to Email
Paste one URL into your form and receive submissions straight to your inbox. No server. No plugin. No gated features.
Free to start · No credit card required
How it works
A normal POST form is enough.
html.contact receives the form post, stores the submission, applies source and spam checks, then sends email from your dashboard settings.

Build before you pay
Other form tools give you a free endpoint, then gate attachments, routing, recipients, exports, and API access. html.contact gives you the real setup from the start. Same backend. Different volume.
Free includes the backend you keep.
Build, test, and ship the real setup before accepted volume becomes a billing question.
- Free
- 250 accepted submissions
- Use the same backend you will keep in production.
- Paid
- More accepted volume
- Upgrade only when traffic makes the limit matter.
- Endpoint + domains A production form URL with allowed domains and local testing support.
- Routing + recipients Verified inboxes, CC/BCC routing, and reply-to handling.
- Attachments Accept one real uploaded file per valid submission.
- Spam + logs Server-side screening, blocked reasons, and clean submission history.
- Exports + API CSV, JSON, public posts, and private form/submission APIs.
