When Netlify Forms is the better choice
Netlify's documentation says Forms are free and unlimited on its credit-based plans, which apply to accounts created from 4 September 2025. Lamofel's Free plan allows 100 messages a month.
If your site is already hosted on Netlify, its forms service needs no separate account or form address.
Netlify Forms also accepts file uploads in form submissions. Lamofel does not accept file uploads.
Netlify says spam protection support is available. Lamofel lists a honeypot spam field.
When Lamofel fits
Lamofel fits when your site is not on Netlify, or when you want one form backend for sites on different hosts. Netlify sets up Forms when you enable form detection for your site and add a netlify attribute to your HTML form, and its build system then finds the form at deploy time; with Lamofel you point your form's action at a Lamofel address, whichever host serves your page. Each submission is stored and emailed to a confirmed address, with records kept for 30 days and then deleted.
Every plan works with AI assistants you connect, such as Claude (and ChatGPT in Business, Enterprise and Edu workspaces) -- how to connect, at no extra charge. Support is by email, with a reply within 2 business days.
Its free form generators cover contact, waitlist, RSVP and feedback forms. Generating a form does not require an account.
Starter and Pro can be bought on the plans page.
Its Free plan includes a "Powered by" footer on the thanks page.
How to switch
