What is the best form backend for static sites?

For static sites (Astro, Hugo, Jekyll, GitHub Pages, plain HTML), the best form backend is one that needs no server: Form2Lead gives every form a POST endpoint with spam protection, email notifications, CSV export, and a searchable inbox — the site itself stays 100% static.

How do I get Webflow form submissions by email without Zapier?
