Overview
Getform is an open-source form backend service you can self-host to collect HTML form submissions from any static website without writing server-side code. It receives POST requests from standard HTML forms, stores responses, and can forward them via email or webhook. It is ideal for JAMstack and static site setups where the developer wants a simple managed endpoint rather than a full form-builder application.
Where it falls short of Jotform
- No built-in form builder; developers must write their own HTML forms
- Limited response analytics compared to full-featured form platforms
- Community self-hosted version lacks some features of the commercial cloud product
We list the gaps honestly so you can decide if the trade-off is worth owning your data.
