Getting Started
Setting up Atlas is simple: 1) Sign up for a free account, 2) Create a form in your dashboard and get your unique endpoint URL, 3) Point your HTML form action to that URL. That's it! The whole process takes under 2 minutes.
Atlas works with any platform that supports HTML forms. This includes Webflow, WordPress, Shopify, Squarespace, Wix, Framer, Next.js, React, Vue, and more. If you can write HTML or make an HTTP POST request, Atlas will work.
No installation required! Atlas is a hosted service. Just point your form to your Atlas endpoint URL and we handle everything else - storage, validation, webhooks, file uploads, and spam protection.
Absolutely! Our free tier includes 50 submissions per month, 1 project with 2 forms, webhooks, API access, and spam protection. No credit card required. You can test all features before upgrading.
Most users are up and running in under 5 minutes. For a basic HTML form, it's as simple as changing your form's action attribute. For more advanced setups with webhooks and integrations, expect 10-15 minutes.
Pricing & Plans
The free Starter plan includes 50 submissions per month, 1 project with up to 2 forms, 100MB file storage, webhook notifications, full API access, and spam protection. Perfect for personal projects and testing.
Upgrade when you exceed 50 submissions per month, need more than 2 forms, require Slack/Discord notifications, want email notifications, or need additional storage for file uploads. Most small businesses start on the Pro plan ($29.99/month).
Yes! You can upgrade or downgrade your plan at any time. Upgrades take effect immediately. Downgrades take effect at the end of your current billing period. We prorate charges fairly.
We'll never shut off your forms without warning. If you approach your submission limit, we'll send you an email notification. You can upgrade anytime or wait until your limit resets at the start of your next billing cycle.
Yes! Annual plans receive a 20% discount compared to monthly billing. For example, the Pro plan is $287.90/year (instead of $359.88), saving you $71.98 per year.
We offer a 14-day money-back guarantee on all paid plans. If you're not satisfied within the first 14 days, contact us for a full refund. After 14 days, we don't offer refunds but you can cancel anytime.
Features
Add a file input to your HTML form and Atlas automatically handles the upload. Files are stored securely on our CDN with instant global delivery. File size limits depend on your plan: Starter (10MB), Pro (25MB), Business (50MB), Enterprise (100MB). The Video Addon enables 2GB uploads.
A webhook is a way to send your form data to another service in real-time. When someone submits your form, Atlas instantly POSTs the data to your webhook URL. Use webhooks to trigger automations, sync data to your CRM, send to Zapier/Make, or integrate with custom systems.
Atlas uses multiple layers of spam protection: honeypot fields, rate limiting, suspicious pattern detection, and IP reputation checks. This blocks most spam without annoying real users with captchas. Pro plans and above get enhanced spam filtering.
Yes! On Pro plans and above, you can customize the "from" name, subject line, and which fields are included in notification emails. You can also send notifications to multiple email addresses.
Connect Slack or Discord in your project settings by pasting your webhook URL. Every form submission sends a beautifully formatted message to your channel instantly. Available on Pro plans and above. No Zapier required.
The Video Addon supports all common video formats: MP4, MOV, AVI, WMV, FLV, MKV, and more. Videos can be up to 2GB in size and are delivered via resumable chunked uploads, so large files upload reliably even on slower connections.
Technical
API rate limits vary by plan: Starter (100 requests/hour), Pro (1,000 requests/hour), Business (10,000 requests/hour), Enterprise (unlimited). These limits are generous and designed to prevent abuse while supporting legitimate use cases.
Submission data is stored indefinitely on all paid plans. Free plan submissions are retained for 90 days. You can export or delete your data at any time via the dashboard or API.
Absolutely! Atlas supports both traditional form submissions and AJAX/fetch requests. CORS is enabled for client-side requests. You can POST JSON or FormData. Check our API documentation for code examples in JavaScript, React, Vue, and more.
We maintain 99.9% uptime with redundant infrastructure across multiple regions. If there's ever an outage, we display status updates at status.atlasforms.app. We also have automatic failover systems to minimize disruption.
Atlas is a fully managed SaaS - there's no self-hosted option. This allows us to maintain high reliability, security, and performance without requiring you to manage infrastructure. However, our API is fully documented if you need to build custom integrations.
Yes! We provide a CLI for managing forms, viewing submissions, and testing locally. We also have an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for AI coding assistants like Claude. Official SDKs are coming soon - follow our updates page for announcements.
Security & Privacy
Yes, Atlas Forms is GDPR compliant. We provide data processing agreements (DPAs) on request, support data export and deletion requests, and only collect data necessary for the service. You control how long data is retained and can delete it at any time.
Data is stored on secure servers in the United States (AWS us-east-1 region by default). Enterprise plans can request data residency in other regions. All data is encrypted at rest and in transit using industry-standard encryption.
All webhook payloads are signed with HMAC-SHA256 signatures using your webhook secret key. This allows you to verify that webhook requests genuinely came from Atlas. We also support custom authentication headers for additional security.
Yes, you have complete control over your data. You can delete individual submissions, entire forms, or your entire account at any time. Deletions are permanent and cannot be recovered, so we recommend exporting data first.
Never. We don't sell or share your form data with third parties. The only time your data leaves our servers is when you explicitly configure webhooks, integrations, or use the API to retrieve it. We take your privacy seriously.
We recommend against collecting highly sensitive data (like credit card numbers or passwords) through forms. For PCI compliance needs, use a dedicated payment processor like Stripe. Atlas uses SSL/TLS encryption and follows security best practices, but specialized use cases may need specialized tools.
