Free comes with honeypot and rate-limit spam protection. Pro and Business add invisible proof-of-work CAPTCHA (self-hosted, no third-party service, no cookies) for forms that need it. Auto-response emails to the person who submitted a form, and inviting teammates to a project, are Business-plan features.
What happens when you hit your limit
Every plan has a monthly submission cap, and we mean it — there's no metered overage billing and no surprise charge on your card. The flip side is that once you're over your monthly cap, new submissions to that form are rejected with an HTTP 429 and a clear error ("Monthly submission limit reached for this form.") until either the month rolls over or you upgrade to a plan with more room. Nothing is silently dropped without telling you, and nothing bills you automatically for going over — you stay in control of what you're charged.
If you're regularly bumping into your limit, upgrading takes effect immediately and doesn't require re-configuring your forms.
Need more than 20,000 submissions a month? Email support@submissionbuddy.io — we can talk about higher-volume options.
FAQ
Is the free plan a trial? No. Free is a permanent plan, not a time-limited trial. Use it for as long as it fits — 100 submissions a month and 2 forms, no credit card, no expiration date.
What counts as a submission?
Each successful POST to your form's endpoint that isn't caught by the honeypot counts as one submission toward your monthly limit. Honeypot-caught spam does not count against your quota.
Do you offer annual billing? Not yet — all plans are billed monthly.
Can I change plans later? Yes. Upgrade, downgrade, or cancel at any time from your dashboard. Changes take effect immediately.
Do I need a credit card to sign up? No. The Free plan requires no payment information. You only add a card when you choose to upgrade to Pro or Business.
What happens to my data if I downgrade or cancel? Your existing submission history stays in your dashboard — cancelling doesn't delete past submissions. Going forward, new submissions are subject to the limits of your current plan.
Is there a limit on how many people can view my dashboard? Team access with roles (owner, editor, read-only) is a Business-plan feature. Free and Pro are single-user accounts.
