**Please:**

- Choose at least one appropriate tag for your post (more is better)
- a short description & what you have tried to fix it (DNS **really may take up to 48 hours to propagate.** )  
I tried looking at the docs but couldn’t find what I was looking for or I did not know what I was looking for.
- build log errors, screenshots, etc
- your Netlify instance name, for example: `deluding-chances-2b123.netlify.com`

Did you use the search before posting? Yes, [Search results for 'limit form submission' - Netlify Support Forums](https://answers.netlify.com/search?q=limit%20form%20submission)  
What about reading through our [Search results for 'common issue' - Netlify Support Forums](https://answers.netlify.com/search?q=common%20issue)?

I have a static site for a client where I only included 50 form submissions each month on the contract. Is there a way to limit the limit of form submissions for a specific site?

Would like to hear your inputs on this.

Thanks,  
Vicente

hi @reyesvicente,

there is no way on Netlify’s side to limit the form submissions to 50 as I far as I know.

If the site is on a free tier, the limit is 100 submissions, and we send emails at several intervals letting the account holder know how much they are using.

If you wanted to limit the submissions to 50, you would have to probably write a lambda function to control for this, that isn’t something we would be able to do for you. I doubt that this is something we would add to the product roadmap any time soon, as most people would like higher submission limits, not lower 🙂

Hi @perry you wrote

I see that listed on the Netlify pricing page, but I am unclear about these 100 submissions… can you help me? How are the 100 counted?

- Per user account across all sites and forms?
- Per form?
- Per all forms on a single domain?

Also, does the 100 reset monthly?

alright, got a clarification for you (and anybody else)

the 100 submissions is for **all** forms that belong to a single site.

So, if your site: [HannasMobileHotdogs.com](http://HannasMobileHotdogs.com) (made up…) gets 25 submissions for a catering form, 25 5 🌟 customer reviews on a form, 25 menu requests, and 25 merchandise requests on a form you will hit that limit the same way you would if you got 100 requests to one centralized contact form.

this **doesn’t** include spam submissions.

let me know if that clears things up!

Great, but if I have two domains:

[HannasHotDogs.com](http://HannasHotDogs.com)  
[HannasHamburgers.com](http://HannasHamburgers.com)

Each will receive 100 form submissions across the domain, so in theory, I have 200 total (with a limit of 100 per domain per month)

Is that correct? If so, I think you should clarify your [Netlify Pricing and Plans](https://www.netlify.com/pricing/) page under Forms… Should say **per domain** thanks!

</div>

the domain isn’t the important thing so much - as many domains (that are registered with a registrar) can be configured to point to one netlify site.

If `hannashotdogs.com` and `hannashamburgers.com` both point to `hannasfastfood.netlify.app`,

then `hannasfastfood.netlify.app` can still only have 100 submissions that it handles before “going over”, regardless if whether the submissions are being executed on either domain, as they all get routed through the same netlify site.

If each custom domain points to a different netlify site/domain under the same _team_, so, to be really clear: `hannashotdogs.com` -\> `hannashotdogs.netlify.app` and `hannashamburgers.com` -\> `hannashamburgers.netlify.app` and both those sites belong to the team **Hannas Dev Team** , then each site can have 100 submissions, even though there are two sites to a team.

does that help? 😃

Hi @perry that was exactly the info I needed. Thanks for the clarification.
