Use it every day

Honestly didn't expect to like it this much. Hosted form submission endpoints is exactly what I needed, and no backend code required to capture submissions. I do wish advanced workflows may need paid tiers, but I reach for it almost every day now and it just clicks.

Skeptical, then convinced

I went in skeptical — most tools in this space overpromise. It actually delivers on spam and bot filtering, and no backend code required to capture submissions caught me off guard. Advanced workflows may need paid tiers is why this isn't a perfect score, still, I'd recommend giving it a real trial.

Years in this space

I've evaluated a lot of these over the years. What stands out here is submission dashboard and exports — handled better than most — and no backend code required to capture submissions. Worth the time if this is your use case.
