Forms to Google Sheets, $1.3K a month, self-reported in 2023: no backend

Sheet Monkey connects website forms to Google Sheets. Its $1.3K a month was founder-reported on the Indie Hackers product page (not independently verified), as of December 2023.

What it actually sells

Sheet Monkey submits HTML forms directly to Google Sheets. It connects forms on any platform to Google Sheets without a backend, and the site says setup takes seconds.

The product sends email notifications when forms are submitted, redirects users to a new page after submission, and attaches uploaded files directly to Google Sheets. It also provides a drag-and-drop form builder for users who do not want to write code.

How it charges

The Free plan is $0 and includes 1 form and 100 submissions / mo. Pro and Team offer unlimited forms and submissions. The site also lists a Get Started for Free starting option.

Where customers come from

The site says Sheet Monkey works with Wordpress, Webflow, Carrd, Squarespace, Javascript, React, and Static HTML sites. It also supports API integration with developers' code.

The customer signal is the site's statement: "Join the thousands of developers already using Sheet Monkey to give their forms superpowers." The site also offers a free starting option.

What stands out

Sheet Monkey has processed 15 million form submissions, according to the site. Its listed features cover form connections, email notifications, redirects, file attachments, a drag-and-drop form builder, and API integration.

The product is presented for developers and website builders using no-code or custom-coded platforms. Its listed integrations include Wordpress, Webflow, Carrd, Squarespace, Javascript, React, and Static HTML sites.

Where it sits in the data

Sheet Monkey's $1.3K a month is higher than 45% of the 6,604 projects with founder-reported monthly revenue in our dataset; the median across them is $2K. Snapshot: 2026-09-30. The dataset only covers founders who chose to publish their numbers, so it leans toward businesses that work; use it for scale, not as an average.

Currency

All figures are in US dollars as published. A rough yuan or euro conversion is not applied here because prices, taxes and acquisition costs differ by country.

Could you build something like this?

My view is that demand comes from developers and website builders who need website form submissions to reach Google Sheets. The buyer is a person managing a website or building forms across no-code or custom-coded platforms.

Distribution would depend on reaching those builders through platform communities, integration listings, and developer channels. The hard parts are supporting many platform connections, keeping submissions reliable, handling files and notifications, and competing with established form and automation tools. Regulatory work appears limited in the listed product, while support load depends on integration breadth.

Verdict: Needs real work.

One thing to take from it

My view: the clearest product lesson is to connect a common website workflow to Google Sheets across platforms while offering a setup path for both no-code users and developers.
