Frequently asked questions

Is Hi Widget a good alternative to Formspree?

It depends whether you want to build a form. Formspree handles the submission and leaves the front end to you, which is ideal if you're a developer. Hi Widget ships the button, the form, and the styling, which is ideal if you aren't.

Do I need to write any HTML or CSS to use Hi Widget?

No. You paste one script tag. Formspree assumes you'll write and style the form markup yourself.

How does pricing compare between Hi Widget and Formspree?

Formspree has a limited free tier and paid plans from around $10/month. Hi Widget is £9/month, which includes the interface you'd otherwise be building and maintaining.
