## Why Choose FormBnB

### Full Dashboard

FormBnB gives you a dashboard to view, search, and manage all your submissions. FormSubmit sends submissions to your email — there's no dashboard, no search, and no way to export data.

### Webhooks and Integrations

FormBnB supports webhooks and 21+ integrations (Slack, Discord, Google Sheets, Notion, etc.). FormSubmit has no webhook or integration support.

### API Access

FormBnB provides a full REST API to programmatically manage forms and submissions. FormSubmit has no API.

### Better Spam Protection

Both support honeypot and reCAPTCHA. FormBnB also supports hCaptcha, Cloudflare Turnstile, ML-based filtering, email/domain/IP blocklists, and work email validation.

### Submission History

Every submission is stored in your FormBnB dashboard with search, filtering, and export. With FormSubmit, if you lose the email, the submission is gone.

## When FormSubmit Might Be Better

* If you want zero setup — no account, no dashboard, just an email address in the action URL
* If you only need email delivery and nothing else

## Setup Comparison

**FormBnB:**

```html theme={null}
<form action="https://api.formbnb.com/f/YOUR_ORG/YOUR_FORM" method="POST">
  <input type="text" name="_gotcha" style="display:none">
  <input type="email" name="email" required>
  <textarea name="message" required></textarea>
  <button type="submit">Send</button>
</form>
```

**FormSubmit:**

```html theme={null}
<form action="https://formsubmit.co/your@email.com" method="POST">
  <input type="text" name="_honey" style="display:none">
  <input type="email" name="email" required>
  <textarea name="message" required></textarea>
  <button type="submit">Send</button>
</form>
```

Both are simple. The difference is what happens after submission — FormBnB stores, notifies, and integrates. FormSubmit just emails.
