Basin

What Basin is

Basin handles web form submissions without requiring server code. It can collect entries, screen spam, send email, store uploaded files, and trigger webhooks. Forms can be built with HTML, a JavaScript library, an API, or a no-code builder. Spam controls include CAPTCHA options, AI filtering, honeypots, domain restrictions, and additional submission filters. File uploads can reach 50GB and include virus scanning. Basin names integrations such as Slack, Discord, Google Sheets, Zapier, Make, Pipedream, Integrately, and webhooks. Its listed security measures include Cloudflare WAF and DDoS protection, signed attachment links, token rotation, and HMAC-SHA256 webhook signatures. Privacy tools include data receipt emails, deletion, and configurable retention. The free plan covers one form and 50 submissions per month, with 30-day data retention. Paid plans start at $12.50/mo billed annually; over-cap submissions continue to be delivered and incur the applicable tier rate. A 14-day trial is also listed.
