Comparison
Inlet vs Getform
Getform is a hosted form backend for designers and developers, with file uploads and integrations. Inlet is developer-and-agency-first: self-hosted, one backend for every client site, white-label emails, and an MCP server.
Fair note: Getform is great for designers and small teams who want hosted form endpoints with quick integrations.
| Capability | Inlet | Getform |
|---|---|---|
| No SMTP or email library in your site | ||
| Self-hosted — you own the submission data | ||
| One backend serving many client sites | Per-form endpoints | |
| White-label branded auto-replies | Paid tiers | |
| Proof-of-work + NLP + reverse-DNS anti-spam | reCAPTCHA / honeypot | |
| MCP server — AI agents create & read your forms | ||
| Runs on your own Supabase + Vercel (free tiers) |
The verdict
If you want a hosted endpoint per form, Getform works well. If you manage many sites and want to own the data, brand every client's emails, and let AI agents run your forms, Inlet goes further.
