Formspark is a developer-focused form backend that handles servers, databases, and analytics so the developer keeps full control over markup and styling. Founded in 2018 and trusted by more than 20,000 customers across React, Vue, Next.js, WordPress, Webflow, and static-site setups, the service is positioned as a Formspree alternative for solo developers, agencies, and freelancers. The MVP shortlist flags Formspark as Switzerland-based; the public marketing surface does not directly confirm a CH legal entity, so this listing is provisional and depends on vendor outreach for an accurate Imprint / Mentions légales.
Compliance disclosures are thin at audit. The homepage footer references Terms, Privacy, and a GDPR section; the dedicated /privacy, /dpa, /security, and /imprint URLs all returned 404 to WebFetch, and the underlying hosting provider for form submissions is not publicly named. Without a published DPA artefact, a named sub-processors list, or an explicit hosting-region commitment, procurement-grade buyers cannot independently verify the EU/CH residency claim today. The CLOUD Act flag is set defensively to minor (no positive evidence of US-cloud at rest, but also no positive disclosure of EU-only stack).
Pricing is unusual and EU-buyer-friendly: a free tier exists, and the paid bundle is US$25 (currently 50% off from US$50) for 50,000 submissions, 100 forms, and unlimited team members on a one-time payment basis; data bundles do not expire, and there is no recurring subscription. Best fit: indie developers and small agencies who need a no-frills form-to-email backend with one-time-payment economics. Procurement-grade buyers needing a self-served DPA, named sub-processors, and a confirmed EU hosting region should look at Tally (BE) or Tripetto FormBuilder SDK (NL self-host) in this category instead.
