Does every form submission count towards my Webflow plan? For instance, if I have a login form and 17 users login/logout daily, will I exceed the limits of the basic plan?
TL;DR
- Only form submissions using Webflow's native Form block connected to its backend count toward the submission limit.
- Custom login/logout forms using external services or custom code bypass Webflow’s backend and don’t count toward the quota.
Webflow only counts native form submissions that trigger Webflow's built-in form handling system. Login or logout forms typically do not use Webflow’s form system, so they don’t count toward the submission limit.
1. What Counts as a Form Submission
- Webflow counts a form submission when a user submits a Webflow-native
<form>element connected to Webflow’s Form block (i.e., forms that send data to Webflow’s servers). - These submissions show up in the Forms tab under Project Settings.
- The Basic Hosting plan allows up to 50 form submissions/month.
2. Login Forms and Submission Limits
- Custom login/logout forms typically connect to external tools like Firebase, Memberstack, Outseta, or custom authentication systems.
- These forms usually use custom JavaScript or form action URLs to bypass Webflow’s backend.
- As long as your login form:
- Does NOT use Webflow's Form block, or
- Has an external
actionattribute and no Webflow form notification,
it will not count toward your monthly form submission quota.
3. How to Check What’s Counting Against Your Limit
- Go to Project Settings > Forms.
- Review the list of form submissions to confirm which ones are being tracked.
- If your login/logout forms are not listed, they’re not counted.
Summary
Only native Webflow form submissions connected to Webflow’s backend count toward your plan limits. Login/logout forms using custom authentication or external services typically don't use Webflow's form handling and will not consume submission counts.
