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.
Templates, Intuitive Interface, Relatively Easy to Setup, Interesting Ways to Use Data, Great Styles, Feature Rich Compared to Competitors
A Bit Pricey (but not really for the features), Not as Well Known as Other Form Builders (so possibly less integrations).

Formidable Forms has helped solved every single forms-based challenge - from simple lead gen and contact forms, through complex business workflows.
The built-in features for creating custom forms-based business applications are the best.
Some of the documentation on the most advanced features is sometimes difficult to get through, but that's easily overcome through the generous support offered by expert advanced users in the Formidable Community.

Mostly positive, until support is needed.
Relatively easy to use, with a lot of advanced features. It's great but overkill for what most users will need from a forms plugin.
Support was difficult to work with when I did have issues. They would send back solutions unrelated to my issues, if I send downloads or videos as reference they would not watch or download them before answering me, and multiple times their solution was "don't use other plugins." I've only had to contact them a couple times in two years and both times I got the same representative, so hopefully it's not a company-wide issue.It's really a shame, because I love the plugin itself, but that kind of support doesn't give me a lot of confidence when it comes to using it on client sites. Hopefully they can get those issues under control, it has a lot of potential if so!
Hello. I'm very sorry to hear you had a negative experience with support. We pride ourselves on providing top-notch support, so I would really appreciate the opportunity to make it right. However, I don't have a way to locate your support tickets since this review is anonymous. It would be great if you could respond to the email notification so we can to more to make sure every experience with anyone on our team is great in the future.

Overall, Formidable Forms has been my go-to form builder for the last 7 years. I switched from a competitor because while their feature set was more robust, Formidable had a more modern feel and was easier to work with as a developer.
Not only is the drag-n-drop interface super easy to work with, but the included fields almost always meet my needs. The included actions that can be triggered on successful form submission, while not exhaustive, usually meet the requirements of my projects. There are plenty of add-ons that help to meet the needs if one of the built-in ones doesn't.
One thing I feel is missing from this plugin is advanced conditional field values. When using a form to try to create a quiz that scored users based on their overall answers, it was difficult to add those form values together and redirect to an appropriate success page base on the total of all fields.

Great so far. We purchased an elite license since we use it on every project as a default installation.
We were able to create an online school registration multi-step form pretty easily and then make modifications based on client feedback, addressing only the steps in the form where changes were needed. The ability to add in additional features like Zapier integration with just a few clicks is the best!
It's a bit pricey, but in the end well worth it since we probably saved time and $$ not needing additional plugins for certain functions. Formidable has everything covered pretty well!

Amazing support... answers within a couple of hours and they are always so helpful!
The educational and smart layout that makes it both fun and easy to use Formidable Forms, both privately and professionally.
Sometimes there is functionality behind the scenes that are not so easy to find or understand. I think more example code would help to give new inspiration and ideas on how to use this powerful tool.

Fantastic
The ability to have so much customization from the ability to build out forms, views, reporting, etc. Support is fantastic as well.
Any plugin/product could always update or add. We have no issues and Formidable Forms continues to update and add new innovative add-ons though out their updates.

It has been a smooth ride with formidable forms. I've built so many projects with this system and I'll continue to use it until I know otherwise.
Formidable forms is the most sophisticated and customizable WordPress Form plugin I've ever used. You can practically build any kind of project with this plugin, no matter how big or small.
The plugin some times is unstable when new updates are available.

Formidable Forms is incredibly easy to work with. The form builder is very intuitive, there are quite a few built in options available requiring no outside integration to add features.
When you have a form with a lot of fields/conditionals, the interface tends to be a bit buggy. There also at times appears to be quality control issues upon update releases, leading to software bugs.

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.
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...
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.

Very positive.
I have built complex and comprehensive forms using several other plugins. This one is the best.
It's difficult with the complexity to integrate with various add-ons such as Zapier. No-fault to FF, but it requires a lot more work to manage than I would like.

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

The plugin itself comes ready-to-use out of the box, it is incredibly user-friendly, and offers so many useful features. We especially enjoy the conditional logic and multi-step form tools, as it helps streamline our clients' quoting processes.
The only con that I've stumbled upon since I started using Formidable is the lack of support for Recaptcha v3. In our business' experience, Google ReCaptcha v3 is the most advanced and most performing captcha tool, and had the best impact on controlling form spam for our many clients.

I've been impressed time and time again with all the things I'm able to achieve with Formidable forms. They're a small family-owned company and I'm proud to support them.
I'm able to create so many customized solutions for clients with Formidables features. You can have front-end forms that create a post, mapping the fields together in a custom post type. They're also adding and improving their functionality constantly too. They're actually trying, which is more than I can say for a lot of the big plugin companies.
It does take a little getting used to. The way the settings and options are laid out are just a little different, so you do actually have to think, but it'll become 2nd nature after a while. The Search function in their Knowledgebase isn't the greatest, so just use Google to help you find what you're looking for.

5-star. It's the best, even better than WP Form and Fluentform. Will always recommend this to my client and friend if they asked about form builder plugin.
I like how flexible and customizable it is. I really appreciate how it also include the automation features which is a huge time saver and productivity tools.
Nothing much really. Just that it would be even better if you could provide varied design style for different devices so I can make the form look mobile responsive

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.
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.
Documentation could be better organized and more examples would help.

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.
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
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.

We switched to Formidable Forms as the native WooCommerce variable products could not handle the amount of data we need per product, but Formidable Forms does that with ease! Brilliant product and support!

Overall, this plugin does amazing things. It is very well put together with a couple minor interface annoyances.
It does everything I need with a graphical interface. The support team is friendly and responsive.
The actions associated with a field value will lose their value if the field value is changed.
