Basin Product Information and Latest Updates (2025)

Would it be safe to say that it's a more sophisticated rendition of https://formspree.io/?

@d4nyll In some ways, yes. Formspree is what I was using to power my own forms before I decided to build Basin. It did the job, but we thought it would be nice to not just forward submission data via email, but keep a record of those submissions somewhere as well. So that's where we started, and added some additional features that early testers suggested, like file uploads, auto response, form conversion rate, etc. Speaking of analytics, we'd love to hear what metrics aside from conversation you'd be interested in tracking :)

@toshuu We've deployed some fixes in the last 48 hours that should take care of the issue you were having. You should be able to get your form setup and working now :)

Pretty simple idea. Good execution. Good UI / UX apart from some texts which are hard to read.

It's unintrusive as in you define and style your own form, but this also means you have to style your own form. It would be great if the platform provides a form builder, so people can use it to compose their frontend code as well. Then there won't be a need to write frontend or backend code.

Pros:

Has Free Tier with Unlimited Submissions. Provides metrics, export options

Cons:

None

Thanks for the review @d4nyll :) Adding a form builder that generates form code for you is a great idea -- we'll add it to the list!

Hey PH community, Matt from the Basin team here. Basin is a simple form backend product that enables you to setup working web forms in just a couple minutes. Nobody really likes writing server-side code and configuring forms to do what they need to do, so we made Basin to help save some development time so you can get back to shipping more important code. In addition to collecting submissions, you can configure Basin to: - Track form conversions - Redirect to custom URL's on submissions success - Setup auto response emails - Display forms on multiple pages - Give sub-users read-only access to form data - Allow secure file uploads Every Basin form also includes automatic spam filtering, AJAX support, and the ability to integrate with your favorite apps and third-party services via webhooks. We'd love to get some feedback on where we can improve and add additional value. Happy to answer questions! Thanks all :) -------- Use coupon code *producthunters* to get 20% off our Pro plan for as long as your account is active -- our way of saying thanks to an awesome community of product enthusiasts!

@farleymatters Good idea and execution. Feedback - I would change the background or text color on the buttons on your website, the text is very hard to read.
