Not built yet. Before building ContactRoute, I’m asking what people actually need from a form backend. The comparisons on this site are of tools you can use today.

Getform is now Forminit

Getform was renamed Forminit in January 2026. Its pricing page says it’s the same independent form backend, running since 2015. Here’s what it costs now and what else to consider.

1 form, 100 submissions a month
Paid
Pro $19/mo or $190 a year (10 forms, 5,000 submissions), Business $594 a year (unlimited forms, 50,000)
