Kollect vs Netlify Forms — The Better Form Backend Alternative
Netlify Forms gives you only 100 submissions per month on the free tier and locks you into Netlify hosting. Kollect works with any host, offers unlimited submissions, and doesn't require a specific platform.
Netlify Forms is convenient if your site already lives on Netlify—but it locks you in. The free tier gives you only 100 submissions per month. Pro ($19/mo) increases limits but still ties forms to Netlify hosting. If you move to Vercel, AWS, or another host, you must rebuild your form setup.
Kollect is host-agnostic. Use it with Netlify, Vercel, static hosts, or any platform. Get unlimited submissions, file uploads, webhooks, and 20+ integrations. Switch hosts anytime without redoing your forms. Developers choose Kollect when they want a standalone form backend that travels with them.

Why Developers Switch from Netlify Forms
Unlimited Submissions
Netlify Forms free tier allows only 100 submissions per month. Kollect offers unlimited submissions so you can grow without platform limits.
Host-Agnostic
Netlify Forms only works when your site is deployed on Netlify. Kollect works with Vercel, AWS, static hosts, or any platform—your forms stay with you.
Standalone Form Backend
Use Kollect whether you're on Netlify, Vercel, or elsewhere. Change hosts anytime without redoing your form setup.
File Uploads & More
Netlify Forms has limited file upload support. Kollect supports file uploads, webhooks, 20+ integrations, and a full API—features Netlify Forms doesn't match.
