About Formtorch
Formtorch is a developer-first form backend SaaS that handles form submissions without a custom server. It provides a simple HTTP endpoint that works with HTML, React, Next.js, Astro, and Vue, making it ideal for static sites, JAMstack, and serverless apps.
A powerful alternative to Formspree, Getform, Basin, and Netlify Forms, Formtorch delivers more flexibility and control for modern developers. It captures, stores, and automates form data with email notifications, webhooks, and API workflows.
Formtorch stands out with TorchWarden, a scoring-based spam protection system, plus rate limiting, CAPTCHA support including Cloudflare Turnstile and reCAPTCHA, and honeypots. It supports file uploads, redirects, autoresponders, AJAX and JSON submissions.
All data is accessible via a clean dashboard or API with export options like CSV and JSON. With unlimited forms on all plans and a generous free tier for commercial use, Formtorch is built to scale for developers.
