A bag of submissions vs a forms product you’ll keep using
Formspark’s Upgrade is a one-time credit pack that doesn’t expire. Basin is a subscription: spam tools, branding, integrations, and humans to email when something breaks.
Formspark Upgrade is about $25 one-time for 50,000 submissions (on promo). Basin Starter starts at $12.50/mo yearly when you want an ongoing forms setup—not just credits.
Spam tools that keep up
Bots change. A living product keeps filters and features moving with them.
More than a credit balance
Growth and Pro add branding, integrations, and stronger spam tools—not just a bigger pile of submissions.
Actual humans
When email or spam goes sideways, you can reach the Basin team.
Credits vs a real product
Pick Formspark if traffic is light and a pile of submissions is enough. Pick Basin if you care about spam rules, branded email, webhooks, and having someone to ping when deliverability gets weird.
