Hi there,

I’m running a bunch of open-source projects and Netlify forms are awesome for that.

Before launching a major project, I would like to anticipate the following usecase:

- form submissions are reaching the limits of the free plan
- I want to get more submissions with no need for the full “Pro membership”

So: is there a way to get more form submissions – and only that?

@Roneo.org If you go over the limit, it’s an automatic per-site addon, the [Netlify Forms Pricing](https://www.netlify.com/pricing/#add-ons-forms) is towards the bottom of the Pricing Page.

Have you looked at the Netlify Open Source Plan Policy @Roneo.org?

Yes I had a look to the open source plan policy, and the pricing page.

**But** my usecase is right between both solutions:  
I’m running **numerous** opensource projects and I can’t attend to the Open Source Plan for each of them, because it represent too much hassle, and **some projects are not open source** yet.

Any solution cheaper than the full Pro Plan / or smoother than the open source pricing?

@Roneo.org You may already be aware, but the forms addon that I linked to isn’t actually the same thing as the “full pro plan” (despite the confusing identical pricing at $19).

Both the **Starter** and **Pro** plan begin with the same amount of free submissions at _100_, and in both cases if you exceed the allowance you automatically pay an additional $19 which then sets your allowance at **1000**.

After that you’re charged $9 per additional **500**.

This is indeed confusing, and quite expensive too: a first look at Formspree reads

Formspree = 2000 submissions for 18$  
Netlify forms= 1500 submissions for 28$

Anyway, I’ll check for alternatives, thanks for the clarification!

If you are looking for an alternative @Roneo.org _(and aren’t afraid of Netlify functions,)_ then you could set up an Airtable account, and use a function to post data directly to a table. Could even set up multiple tables for different sites/forms etc. From my experience, works well.
