RoutePost vs Getform

Want a form builder UI? Getform. Want a lean router? Us.

Getform bundles a drag-and-drop form builder with a backend, aimed at users who don't want to write HTML. RoutePost is the opposite: you bring your own HTML, we just route the data.

Who wins for what

Pick RoutePost if…

✓ You write your own HTML or use a static site generator that hands you a <form> tag
✓ You want the cheapest paid plan that supports multi-destination ($9.99 vs Getform's $19)
✓ You want native Slack destinations, not configured per-integration
✓ You're a developer who finds form builders unnecessary

Pick Getform if…

✓ You don't write HTML and want a hosted form to embed
✓ You need a drag-and-drop form builder with branching, conditionals, field types
✓ You want analytics on partial submissions / form abandonment
✓ You're fine paying ~2× more for the convenience of the builder UI
✓ You need file uploads on a low-cost tier (RoutePost restricts uploads to Pro)

Bottom line

The straight answer.

Getform is genuinely better if you want a no-code form builder UI, want hosted form pages, or need form analytics — those are real features and worth the price difference for that use case. RoutePost is better if you write HTML yourself, want the lowest paid tier on the market for multi-destination routing, or just need a backend that gets out of your way. Different products for different needs; don't pick the cheaper one if the builder UI would save you 10 hours.
