## Why Choose FormBnB

### Unlimited Submissions

Formspree's free plan caps you at 50 submissions per month on a single form. FormBnB gives you unlimited submissions and unlimited forms on the free plan.

### More Spam Protection Options

Formspree supports reCAPTCHA on the free plan. FormBnB supports honeypot fields, reCAPTCHA v2/v3, hCaptcha, Cloudflare Turnstile, ML-based filtering, blocklists, and work email validation.

### File Uploads

FormBnB supports file uploads on the free plan. Formspree requires a paid plan for file uploads.

### API Access

FormBnB gives you full API access to your forms and submissions on the free plan. Formspree restricts API access to paid plans.

### Integrations

FormBnB offers 21+ integrations including Slack, Discord, Google Sheets, Notion, Airtable, and more. Formspree's integrations are limited on the free plan.

## When Formspree Might Be Better

* If you only need a single form with very low volume
* If you're already invested in Formspree's React library ecosystem

## Quick Setup Comparison

Both services work the same way — point your form's `action` to their endpoint:

**FormBnB:**

```html theme={null}
<form action="https://api.formbnb.com/f/YOUR_ORG/YOUR_FORM" method="POST">
  <input type="email" name="email" required>
  <textarea name="message" required></textarea>
  <button type="submit">Send</button>
</form>
```

**Formspree:**

```html theme={null}
<form action="https://formspree.io/f/YOUR_FORM_ID" method="POST">
  <input type="email" name="email" required>
  <textarea name="message" required></textarea>
  <button type="submit">Send</button>
</form>
```

The setup is nearly identical — switching from Formspree to FormBnB is just a URL change.
