Before it’s asked Yes, I tried the search bar and stack overflow.
WP changes all the time as far as I can tell.
I have a Starter subscription for the website of my small business. Pasted perfectly functional HTML script in for a file upload, in addition to my existing contact form. Doesn’t work when it goes live though.
Plugins are disallowed at my plan level. But getting pics is a huge efficiency boost for my biz.
Has anybody found a way around this, without shelling out $50 per month for Creator?

You can’t have any custom code or plugins on WordPress.com lower than Creator. You might be able to use a third-party hosted form platform, but I don’t know if you’re even able to use iFrames or Javascript embeds.
That’s why most people recommend that you don’t use WordPress.com – get wordpress hosting literally anywhere else, no restrictions, and you’ll probably even save money.
You can use the custom HTML block with all [WordPress.com](http://WordPress.com) plans but if your HTML code contains any of the following tags: `embed, frame, iframe, form, input, object, textarea, script, style, link` , they won’t work unless you have a Creator plan: [https://wordpress.com/support/wordpress-editor/blocks/custom-html-block/](https://wordpress.com/support/wordpress-editor/blocks/custom-html-block/)
If you manage to get some HTML code that doesn’t require those tags, it will work with your current plan. If not, you’d need to either upgrade to Creator (it is $25 per month if you purchase a whole year) or move to self-hosted.
