What to look at before you choose where your form's mail goes.Four questions to ask.
Whose domain does the mail come from? Mail from your own authenticated domain is far less likely to land in spam. Many services include it only on their higher plans.
What is stored, and for how long? Some services keep every message in a dashboard. That is handy, and it is also a copy of your visitors' data held by someone else.
Where is mail sent from? If your customers are in Europe, it helps to know where your form's mail is processed.
What does the plan you actually need cost? Compare the plan with the features you need, not the cheapest one. FormRoute has one plan, €59 a year.
