HeroTofu handles HTML form submissions with spam filtering, file uploads, and integrations to email, Slack, and Zapier. Free plan available; Pro from…
HeroTofu is a form backend service designed to let developers collect HTML form submissions without building or hosting their own server-side code. Instead of writing an endpoint to handle a contact or lead form, a developer simply points the form's action attribute to a HeroTofu URL.
The service is framework-agnostic, supporting React, Next.js, Vue, Gatsby, Hugo, Jekyll, WordPress, and plain HTML, which makes it a common choice for static sites and JAMstack projects that don't have their own backend for handling form data.
HeroTofu securely stores form submissions using AES 256-bit encryption and can forward them to email, Slack, Zapier, or custom webhooks. It includes multiple layers of spam protection, including honeypots, Akismet integration, and Google reCAPTCHA v3.
The platform also supports file uploads directly through forms without requiring separate file storage setup, and it can route submissions based on criteria like the submitter's country, device type, or specific form field values, which is useful for directing leads to different teams or workflows.
HeroTofu's free Basic plan includes unlimited endpoints and up to 25 submissions per month, with email notifications and spam protection included. The Pro plan costs $8.33/month when billed yearly and increases the limit to 1,500 submissions per month, adding Slack and Zapier integration, marketing APIs, and email support.
The Business plan costs $20.83/month when billed yearly and supports up to 10,000 submissions per month, with advanced routing and 10 times higher API rate limits than lower tiers, plus priority support. All paid plans include a 14-day free trial with no credit card required.
