## Why Choose FormBnB

### Unlimited Submissions

Basin's free plan caps you at 100 submissions per month. FormBnB has no submission limits on the free plan.

### File Uploads on Free

FormBnB supports file uploads on the free plan. Basin requires a paid plan for file upload support.

### Webhooks Included

FormBnB includes webhooks on the free plan so you can send submission data to your own server or third-party services. Basin restricts webhooks to paid plans.

### More Spam Protection

FormBnB supports honeypot, reCAPTCHA v2/v3, hCaptcha, Cloudflare Turnstile, ML-based filtering, blocklists, and work email validation. Basin supports honeypot and reCAPTCHA.

### 21+ Integrations

## When Basin Might Be Better

* If you prefer Basin's dashboard UI
* If you need Basin's specific AJAX handling features

## Switching from Basin

Update your form's `action` URL:

```html theme={null}
<!-- Before (Basin) -->
<form action="https://usebasin.com/f/YOUR_FORM_ID" method="POST">

<!-- After (FormBnB) -->
<form action="https://api.formbnb.com/f/YOUR_ORG/YOUR_FORM" method="POST">
```

No other changes needed. FormBnB accepts the same `name` attributes and form structure.
