Are there static website owners who use form backend services?
What service did you chose and why?
If you do not use any, then how do you usually make contact forms on your websites?
In some cases I used Airtable: you can create a table and you can generate a form to embed in your website. In other cases I created a simple html form and use a cloud function to handle the request (I tried netlify functions and firebase functions).
For my freelancing carriers, I built my own form backend. Now I try to turn it into SAAS, it's Formcubes.com, it's still on work tho.
As for other services, I think usebasin have the best price and feature.
Interesting pricing model! What happens if user exceeds 700 submissions limit?
I also went same way - I used a set of scripts for my own forms and then built a SaaS on top of them: form2chat.io

Yeah my target market is personal, hobbyists, and small business. For now, I just reject the submissions, but it rarely passes the limit.
Wow, your offering is the cheapest and as rich feature as others, but somehow I never heard of yours…
May I know how is your growth so far?
@poppacalypse unfortunately not, WhatsApp does not have public API, they only offer solution for medium and large companies through their partners which is not something that can be useful in my case
@migumelar I've got a few paid subscribers but nothing to brag about so far. It is very slow, but I kind of expected it because this market is heavily saturated
I've used Formspree before. They have handy additions like Stripe payment fields. I've noticed they seem to be the standard for implementing contact pages in many Ghost themes; not sure what that means generally, but a lot of themes tell you to use Formspree.
I think it's because formspree's source code is open source https://github.com/formspree/formspree

I was done developing yet another backend for common use cases like capturing emails, feedback, bug reports/feature requests etc. So I started working on a reusable component library where each component is designed to capture a particular input. The captured input can then be passed to your cloud services via integrations.

I am using the email capture component on the website itself.
