FormRelay — Hosted form backend for static sites

🔍 Competitor Research (Feb 2026)

Competitor	Pricing	Notes
Formspree	Free 50 subs / $8-10/mo / $40/mo+	Established. Good DX.
Basin	$12/mo standard / $32/mo pro	2x endpoints vs Getform at same price.
Getform	$10/mo start / $29/mo+	Decent but dated UI.
ProForms	From $3/mo	New entrant, aggressive pricing.
Formbricks	Open source Formspree alt	Surveys focus, young.
Netlify Forms	Built into Netlify	Free 100 subs, $19/mo for more. Platform lock-in.

Gap: Market is fragmenting with cheap alternatives (ProForms at $3/mo!). Race to bottom on pricing. Differentiation needed: file uploads, spam ML, Zapier-level integrations, or focus on developer workflow.

Risk: Commodity market. ProForms already undercutting everyone. Unless we have a strong angle (e.g., NATS-powered real-time form streaming?), hard to stand out.

Domain: formrelay.com TAKEN.

Verdict: ⭐⭐⭐ (3/5) — Proven market but increasingly commoditized. Low ceiling unless differentiated.
