Why Choose FormBnB

No Submission Limits

Webflow’s form submissions are tied to your hosting plan. The Starter plan gives you 50 submissions. The Basic plan gives you 500. Going over means upgrading your entire hosting plan. FormBnB gives you unlimited submissions on the free plan.

Webhooks Without Zapier

Webflow requires Zapier (a paid service) to send form data to other services. FormBnB includes webhooks natively — send data to any URL for free.

21+ Native Integrations

FormBnB connects directly to Slack, Discord, Google Sheets, Notion, Airtable, HubSpot, Mailchimp, and more. Webflow requires Zapier for every integration.

Better Spam Protection

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

Full API Access

FormBnB gives you a REST API to manage forms and submissions programmatically. Webflow has no form API.

Auto-Responders

FormBnB Pro lets you send automatic reply emails to people who submit your form. Webflow doesn’t support auto-responders.

When Webflow Forms Might Be Better

If you need fewer than 50 submissions/month and want zero setup
If you want forms styled entirely through Webflow’s visual designer

How to Use FormBnB in Webflow

Add an Embed element in Webflow and paste your FormBnB form:

<form action="https://api.formbnb.com/f/YOUR_ORG/YOUR_FORM" method="POST">
  <input type="text" name="_gotcha" style="display:none">

  <div style="margin-bottom:16px;">
    <label style="display:block;margin-bottom:4px;">Name</label>
    <input type="text" name="name" required style="width:100%;padding:8px;border:1px solid #ccc;">
  </div>

  <div style="margin-bottom:16px;">
    <label style="display:block;margin-bottom:4px;">Email</label>
    <input type="email" name="email" required style="width:100%;padding:8px;border:1px solid #ccc;">
  </div>

  <div style="margin-bottom:16px;">
    <label style="display:block;margin-bottom:4px;">Message</label>
    <textarea name="message" rows="4" required style="width:100%;padding:8px;border:1px solid #ccc;"></textarea>
  </div>

  <button type="submit" style="background:#000;color:#fff;padding:12px 24px;border:none;cursor:pointer;">
    Send Message
  </button>
</form>
