  "price": "Free: 50 submissions/mo, 1 form, 30-day retention. Starter $12.50/mo (250), Growth $24.17/mo (1,000, unlimited forms), Pro $30.62/mo (5,000), Agency $81.25/mo (25,000), billed yearly.",

  "pick": false,
  "what": "Form backend in the same slot as Formspree: POST a form to a Basin endpoint and get email notifications, a submission dashboard, file storage and integrations. Emphasises layered spam filtering with honeypot, Akismet and custom rules. Paid plans include a 14-day trial and a money-back guarantee.",
  "why": "Cheaper per submission than Formspree at mid volume, with unlimited form endpoints from the $24/mo tier — useful if you run several client sites off one account.",
  "warn": "The free plan is one endpoint, 50 submissions and 30-day retention, so older submissions disappear. Advertised prices assume annual billing; monthly costs noticeably more.",
