Formspree vs Jotform for AI agents

FormspreeL1Needs a person

Stopped at sign up: needs a human. Next: let an agent sign up on its own

Needs a person to start: L1 · Needs a person. Our agent stopped first at sign-up, where Register raised a Google reCAPTCHA picture puzzle that stood unsolved. Every path to a form (dashboard, claim URL, formspree deploy with a key) runs through that account, so our agent never reached verification, a key or a form of its own; an unauthenticated POST just returned FORM_NOT_FOUND. Paying and cancelling were never reached either, since Formspree sells Professional and Business only after the same gated sign-up, with no cancel API documented. Docs stand out for an agent reading them: llms.txt with a claim-URL guide, and help articles served as Markdown.

Stopped at sign up: needs a human. Next: let an agent sign up on its own

Jotform needs a person: L1 · Needs a person. Our agent gets in on its own for nothing here: sign-up stops behind reCAPTCHA v2, and the documented endpoint rejects it on a terms field the docs never name. Verification mail arrived fast, but every link it carried led to a dead or redirecting page, and the API never issued a key even to an unverified login. With no credentials, our agent reached only the public, unauthenticated routes: plan lookups, nothing else. Paying looks reachable later: the plan endpoint returns a hosted checkout page with no bot check. Account deletion was never tested: settings stayed locked behind the same wall, so the account sits there, empty and unverified.
