We chose formidable forms because we need the ability to customize the data views. While we found the plug in quite pricey, it was the only option for creating the custom outputs required.

The Perfect Solution for Building Calculators with Ease

Reviewed a year ago

We were caught in a frustrating cycle with professional developers, as they presented us with complex solutions that led us nowhere. Despite involving three developers and investing a significant amount of time and money, they failed to deliver the special calculator we sought for our website. After extensive research and exploration, we fortuitously discovered Formidable Forms and decided to make the purchase. To our surprise, even without technical knowledge or prior experience, we were able to independently create the desired calculator ourselves.

Pros

I recently had the pleasure of using Formidable Forms, and I cannot emphasize enough how impressed I am with its ease of use and efficiency. Formidable Forms came to our rescue after a disappointing experience with developers who claimed to be proficient in coding calculators but failed to deliver on their promises. Frustrated by the delays and lack of progress, we took matters into our own hands and...

Cons

On the other hand, one aspect that some users may dislike about Formidable Forms is its pricing structure. While the platform offers a range of pricing plans to cater to different needs, some users may find the cost of certain programs relatively higher than other form builder solutions in the market. However, it's important to note that Formidable Forms's value and extensive features often outweigh the pricing concerns, especially for those who prioritize ease of use, advanced customization options, and robust form management capabilities.

Formidable Forms has many features and very flexible - the ultimate form builder

Reviewed 2 years ago

I have been using Formidable Forms since 2013. I cannot think of another WordPress plugin that I have used for so many years.

Pros

Data collection, form builder, conditional logic, simple to use, great tech support. If you need help building a complicated form, they will help you. Also, Formidable Forms is under constant development. The team works hard to make it better.

Cons

Formidable Forms can get expensive. It is easy to spend $200 annually if you need a lot of integrations and features, like ConvertKit, Stripe, etc. But I can understand why it is expensive because it is constantly being improved and the team provides great support. If you run an agency and have to provide advanced solutions to clients, buying Formidable Forms is a necessity.

Formidable Forms

Reviewed 2 years ago

I use formidable forms to build product report surveys, customer satisfaction, and client website experience feedback for customers who need them (on our website and fiverr.com). It's trying its best.

Pros

One major thing that I like about this plugin is it's light-weightless. The developer has optimized it for the best SEO- performance and that's an important factor I highly value. Formidable forms keep the product survey-building process simple and straightforward. I don't use it for any other purpose; it's just for surveys.I love how flexible & responsive the drag & drop builder and the visual styler are. They brighten my building experience.Also, it supports advanced listing & directory views which are great options for building more complex surveys

Cons

I think the plugin is quite expensive and I don't enjoy its design quality. Customer support is not too responsive when it means offering product support.

The best -and only- App development plugin for WordPress

Reviewed a year ago

Required software that would allow us to build highly complex forms, have people view the data in a customized format, schedule interviews, take notes and applicants, etc. Formidable certainly fit the bill, and any other solution would have been unacceptable, honestly. It has allowed us to customize everything you need forms for come out like registration, etc. Absolutely invaluable.

Pros

We chose formidable forms because we need the ability to customize the data views. While we found the plug in quite pricey, it was the only option for creating the custom outputs required. Now that I'm getting past the learning curve, and getting to know the documentation, it really is super powerful. While there are a couple of features I would like to see, for the most part it absolutely rocks! I recommend it to people all the time

Cons

What are the main features I feel the software is lacking he has the ability to connect and manipulate outside databases. I used to be a Joomla guy. There is a plugin for Joomla called Fabrik. It is a super powerful database application development platform they allows you connect to any database anywhere. However the learning curve fabric was terribly steep, i found formidable forms far easier to learn and become proficient with. Will my name complaint, if you can call it that, would be the price. However if a for profit business, which we are not, required these features, it is definitely worth it.

Reviewed 8 months ago

Absolutely love the product, the support, and the additional application forms already available on their website.

Pros

The best part about Formidable Forms is that you have the capability to design your forms any way that you want to. You can have your forms automatically notify you when someone fills them out, and you can setup an automatic email responder regarding however they filled out the form. It makes your work easier. Automate your work, so that you spend less time working and more time making money.

Cons

The renewal price for the highest plan is really high. I would like it to come down to $250 yearly or less. Otherwise, I may have to make a change in the future. As a entrepreneur and starting out on my own while supporting 5 kids and my wife, it's not easy to continue paying with such high costs.

Turn wordpress into gold

Reviewed 4 years ago

We have created some ground breaking and innovative websites in healthcare and the non profit sector with formidable

Pros

Extremely versatile, very powerful. With formidable forms, anything is possible and therefore truly captures your imagination. With the abundance of wordpress templates and designs, and combined with formidable forms, you can create beautiful and functional websites.

Cons

There is a steep learning curve to make it powerful. You will often be scratching your head how to get something done, and then once you find the answer, you are amazed and delighted. It takes time to master and you will need to be able to dabble in PHP code to make the best use. But for beginners and simple projects, its straight forward. Its slightly expensive if budget is restricted (and wordpress users use wordpress because its free so a premium plugin in a lot) - but the support and features you get make it worth it if you can maximise formidable potential

Formidable Forms is the only Form builder for my company and my customers

Reviewed 6 months ago

Pure Bliss. I have used just about everything out there and nothing compares to Formidable Forms.

Pros

I love everything about Formidable. The ease of use. The large library of templates. The ability to create custom templates that can be reused. The fact that I can white label the plugin. I can create a customized forms experience for customers in a portion of the time and at a portion of the cost of a developer.

Cons

The calculator functions are a bit tricky but nothing that you can't figure out with a reading in the documentation.

No WordPress website should be made without Formidable Forms

Reviewed 2 years ago

I am very satisfied with Formidable Forms and I do recommend it to any web developer.

Pros

It's such a powerful plugin that saves to much time that I don't or won't make any new website without it. Formidable Forms will bring any website up to the next level.

Cons

I would imagine that the learning curve could be a little difficult for newbies, but with such a powerful plugin such as this it is not too bad as Formidable Forms has a lot of tutorials on their website. The pricing can get a little high for anyone that runs a small web design business where they need more then just a few licenses to use it.

Expensive, but Awesome!

Reviewed 6 months ago

We love it! We used a competitor before and since trying it, we're discussing the idea of moving all of our clients to it. The interface is easy to use and the way that data is handled feels modern, smart and lightweight. There are so many intuitive options that your mind will run wild with the possibilities that can be explored and created with this form builder.

Pros

Templates, Intuitive Interface, Relatively Easy to Setup, Interesting Ways to Use Data, Great Styles, Feature Rich Compared to Competitors

Cons

A Bit Pricey (but not really for the features), Not as Well Known as Other Form Builders (so possibly less integrations).

So easy, but so powerful

Reviewed 4 years ago

Overall, I like how it gets thing done and keeps users organized. The functionality of the paid version is well worth the cost, even if one complains about it.

Pros

Options. Formidable offers an almost limitless range of performance. Multi-page forms, conditional logic, varied notifications, responses and even payment acceptance, among a host of other features. It is simple to use, but has a powerful back-end that lets you do almost anything.

Cons

The pricing, the subscription. I appreciate good products and I know people have to make a living, but I'd have preferred a slightly lower price. That and the updating of changes made to forms. It can get a lost in the building of forms but you MUST save changes.

Formidable Forms is Formidable

Reviewed 3 years ago

I have used Formidable Forms for user management, data collection, and data analysis. I built an entire vendor bidding, grantee application, and product ordering system for a $2+ million dollar Cal-OES subgrant system and Formidable Forms was a solid, stable foundation.

Pros

Formidable Forms is the most feature-rich WordPress form builder I've found (and I have looked, long and hard). Easy to use, flexible, and cost-effective.

Cons

Documentation could be better organized and more examples would help.

Very useful plugin for creating powerful forms in WordPress

This plugin allows me to create everything from contact and ordering forms to surveys.

I was looking for a WordPress form builder for my new website and saw Formidable Forms. It is by far the best form builder I have ever used. It has all the features I wanted and more. My site now looks more professional with all these great features!

Cons

I've been using Formidable Forms for quite a few years now and it's a great WordPress form builder. Its only drawback is the price. This app is very expensive and there are now cheaper form builders on the market.
