Getform Alternative — staticq vs Getform
What they are
Both staticq and Getform are form backend services for static websites. You point your HTML form at an endpoint and submissions get delivered via email, stored in a dashboard, or forwarded to integrations. No server-side code needed.
Getform rebranded to Forminit in January 2026 (getform.io now redirects to forminit.com). It offers a similar feature set to staticq with a focus on integrations and file handling.

What staticq does differently
More generous free tier. staticq gives you 100 submissions per month across 5 forms on free. Getform limits free to 50 submissions and a single form. For users testing the waters or running a small personal site, this extra headroom matters.
More value on paid plans. Both services start paid plans at $9/month, but staticq Pro gives you 2,000 submissions and unlimited forms. Getform’s $9/month Mini plan is limited to 200 submissions and a single form — their comparable tier is $19/month.
Hosted form pages. staticq generates standalone hosted pages for your forms. Share a link directly without deploying a full website. Getform doesn’t offer this.
Edge deployment. staticq runs on Cloudflare Workers globally. Submissions are processed at the nearest edge location to your visitor.
Where Getform is ahead. Getform has file upload support, a broader set of spam protection options (reCAPTCHA, Akismet, Botpoison), native Zapier integration, and a REST API for programmatic access. If your workflow depends on file uploads or direct Zapier connections, Getform covers those today.
