Formspree made 'point your form at a URL' the standard way to handle contact forms on static sites, and it's a solid, mature product. But if you juggle several projects, you end up with scattered form endpoints on one side and scattered mailboxes on the other.
mailcontact takes the same copy-paste simplicity and adds the missing half: every project gets one inbox that receives both its form submissions and its own real email address, with notifications in Discord, Slack, or a webhook.
what is formspree
Formspree is one of the oldest and best-known form backends: you point an HTML form at a Formspree URL and submissions are forwarded to your email. It offers Formshield spam filtering on every plan, a React library, file uploads, and plugins for tools like Google Sheets and Slack. Checked on 17 July 2026, the free plan allows 50 submissions per month across your whole account, unlimited forms, a 30-day archive, and no file uploads; Personal is $15/month for 200 submissions, Professional $30/month for 2,000 and unlocks the API and webhooks, and Business $90/month for 20,000.
It's a proven choice for a single production form, and it has a projects concept on every plan including Free. The trade-offs show up when you run many small projects on a 50-a-month account-wide budget, or when you also need a public email address. Formspree handles forms only.

the honest take
faq
No. Both are plain HTML form endpoints, so migrating is changing one action URL in your form. Your markup, styling, and fields stay the same. One note: the configurable post-submit redirect is not currently available, so submit via fetch for now if you want visitors to stay on your page.
On Pro, you can add an email notification channel to any inbox, so every message can still reach your verified account mailbox, alongside Discord, Slack, or webhook alerts.
Free includes one project, one form and 50 submissions per month. Pro includes ten projects, receiving email addresses and 1,000 messages per month; Pro costs €9/month or €90/year. Plus includes fifty projects and 10,000 messages for €29/month. Receiving messages and sending replies share the same quota.
A real inbound email address per project, and a unified per-project inbox where forms and email land together. Formspree is forms only.
