Introducing New Plans and Policies for Static Forms
Introducing New Plans and Policies for Static Forms
We're excited to announce significant updates to Static Forms plans and policies, designed to better serve our growing user base while maintaining the security and reliability you've come to expect.
What's Changing?
Free and Pro Plans
We've introduced a structured approach to our service with two distinct plans:
- Free Plan: Includes a generous usage allowance suitable for most personal projects and small to medium websites
- Pro Plan: Designed for higher volume needs, offering increased limits and additional features
Good news: All existing accounts are automatically enrolled in the Free plan, which includes enough capacity for the majority of our users.
Extended Grace Period
We understand that transitioning to a new pricing model requires time and planning. To ensure a smooth transition, we're providing an extended grace period:
- If your usage exceeds the Free plan threshold, your service will continue uninterrupted until April 30, 2025
- Starting May 2025, if you exceed the Free plan limits, email sending will pause for the remainder of that month until you upgrade to a Pro plan
This gives you nearly a full year to evaluate your needs and make any necessary adjustments.
reCAPTCHA Is Now Optional
Based on your valuable feedback, we've made reCAPTCHA integration optional for all users:
- You can now choose whether to implement reCAPTCHA on your forms
- It will only become mandatory if we detect spam submissions from your form
- If spam is detected, you'll have 7 days to configure reCAPTCHA
This change provides more flexibility in how you design and implement your forms while still maintaining robust protection when needed.
Why These Changes?
These updates are the result of extensive user feedback and our commitment to providing a sustainable, high-quality service:
- Better resource allocation: By introducing tiered plans, we can optimize resources for different usage patterns
- Improved spam prevention: Our targeted approach to reCAPTCHA implementation focuses security measures where they're most needed
- Sustainable growth: These changes help ensure we can continue to provide reliable service and develop new features
What You Need to Do
For most users, no immediate action is required. Here's what we recommend:
- Check your current usage: Log in to your dashboard to see how your usage compares to the Free plan limits
- Review plan options: Familiarize yourself with the different plans to determine which best fits your needs
- Consider your reCAPTCHA strategy: Decide whether to implement reCAPTCHA proactively or wait until needed
