Scroll Theory Forms vs Getform

Getform is a capable form backend with a clean dashboard and a good set of integrations. The differences worth your time are price, what the entry plan includes, and what happens to a submission the spam filter gets wrong.

The short version

  • Both accept plain HTML posts, JSON, and file uploads on paid plans.
  • As of this writing, Getform's entry paid plan runs in the mid-teens per month. Ours is $39, and that price includes routing rules, webhooks, uploads, and a full order-taking shop with card checkout.
  • Flagged spam here is stored in a quarantine you can open, not filtered out of sight, and it never counts against your monthly cap.
  • Switching is a one-line change to your form's action attribute.

Pricing, plainly

Getform's pricing has changed over the years, so treat any number you read in a comparison, including this one, as a snapshot. As of this writing their paid plans start in the mid-teens per month. Ours is one flat $39 with 10,000 submissions a month, unlimited forms, 50GB of upload storage, and the whole shop with card checkout.

Where Getform is a fair pick

Getform has a polished dashboard and a broad set of prebuilt integrations. If your workflow depends on one of those specific integrations, look at both feature lists before you decide. For everything that speaks webhooks, our signed webhook covers Zapier, Make, n8n, Slack, and Discord.

What we do differently

  • Spam is quarantined, never deleted. A flagged submission is stored and shown in a separate view. You can review it and release it in one click. A false positive never costs you a real lead.
  • Spam never touches your quota. Only real submissions count against the monthly cap. A bot flood cannot burn through your plan.
  • Routing rules on the $39 plan. Send sales one place and support another based on what is in the message. Rules can also change the redirect or tag a submission as spam.
  • File uploads on paid plans. Up to 10MB per file and five files per submission, with 50GB of storage on Pro. Files are served back only through your logged-in dashboard.
  • Nothing is lost over the cap. If you go over your monthly limit, email notifications pause but every submission is still stored and waiting in the dashboard.
  • Built on Cloudflare's edge. The endpoint answers from Cloudflare's network, close to your visitor, with no third-party spam service in the middle.
