The Formtorch homepage

Formtorch is a form backend service for developers that handles form submissions without requiring custom server code. It works with any frontend framework including HTML, React, Next.js, Astro, Vue, and Svelte. The service manages submission storage, spam filtering through its TorchWarden system, email notifications, webhook delivery, and data exports. Users can set up forms in minutes by pointing their form action to a Formtorch endpoint, with no SDK or backend setup required.

Built by BitForward, a web design and software development company in Canada, Formtorch started as an internal tool used across client projects. The service emphasizes developer experience with fast setup times, honest pricing including 150 free monthly submissions, and transparent spam detection that shows users why submissions were flagged.

Formtorch integrates with email, webhooks, Slack, Zapier, Make, and Google Sheets. It supports file uploads, custom redirects, CAPTCHA options including Cloudflare Turnstile and reCAPTCHA, and provides a searchable dashboard for managing submissions with support for CSV exports and large-scale data retrieval.

Buyer questions

What is a form backend?

A form backend is a service that receives and processes form submissions without requiring you to build your own server. Instead of creating API routes, configuring databases, and setting up email delivery, you send form data to a Formtorch endpoint. Formtorch acts as a form API and handles validation, spam filtering, secure storage, email notifications, and webhook delivery in one place.

Do I need a server or backend code to use Formtorch?

No. Formtorch is a serverless form backend designed for static sites, Jamstack apps, and modern web applications. You do not need to write backend code or deploy an API. Simply connect your HTML form or send a fetch request to your Formtorch endpoint and Formtorch will handle form submission processing, spam filtering, and notifications.

What frameworks does Formtorch work with?

Formtorch works with any framework that can submit form data or make an HTTP request. This includes HTML, React, Next.js, Astro, Vue, Svelte, and Webflow. Whether building a static site or a full web app, Formtorch acts as your form backend and works with your existing stack without requiring an SDK or additional setup.

How does Formtorch compare to Formspree?

Formtorch is a modern alternative to Formspree offering faster setup, stronger spam protection, and more visibility into submissions. The free plan includes 150 submissions per month compared to 50 on Formspree. Formtorch also provides multi-layer spam protection through TorchWarden and a full submission log with spam signals and delivery status. Switching takes less than a minute with only a form endpoint replacement needed.

Is Formtorch free?

Yes. Formtorch offers a permanent free plan with 150 form submissions per month and no credit card required. Paid plans provide higher limits, webhooks, file uploads, and team features. You can upgrade at any time as your usage grows.
