Great WordPress form plugin with features and templates galore

Reviewed 9 months ago
Pros

Countless templates, integrations with API, Zapier, AI, and more! It even handles calculations, signatures, payments, uploads, and DIY applications. You can make a web application with this.

Cons

The free version of the software is very average. You are forced to upgrade to get any usability out of it.

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.

Best Form Builder Plugin I found on WordPress

Reviewed 2 years ago

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.

Pros

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.

Cons

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

Formidable Forms Pro expanded organizations cashflow exponentiallly

Reviewed 3 years ago

Excellent product and would highly recommend.

Pros

I found Formidable Forms and its plugins to have a very user-friendly interface. There are few features left out that most users would need, and there are multitudes of plugins for specific needs to expand its usefulness.

Cons

What I like least is that there should be the ability to limit the number of WORDS in a form field, not just characters, in a very simple way. If you search for this function, all you can find is some very complicated php code which, though I followed the instructions to the letter, would not work. I tried many, many ways. Inserting html code into one of the fields is not possible, which is what the instructions say to do. FF already has a button to click to limit the number of characters. Why would you not have a button right there with it to limit the number of words?

Great forms plug in!

Reviewed a year ago
Pros

Setting up Formidable Forms is very easy. Aside from that, one of my favorite aspects is that it offers some ARIA capabilities to increase Google Pagespeed scores. If you have a website that needs Accessibility features, Formidable Forms is for you! From my research, no other form plugins offer this.

Cons

My least favorite part is that I can't shorten the space in between fields. This can make my contact forms longer (vertically) than I'd like. They do offer some spacing customizations for padding and margins, but not this specific one.

New to Formidable but Service Team is Excellent!

Reviewed 4 years ago

We'll be using this form plug-in for everything from simple sign ups and contact forms to more complex ecommerce solutions.

Pros

Have only been using it for about 3 hours, but the pre-sales support was incredibly responsive. I've found it extremely easy to implement most of our branding guidelines into the styling for this plug-in. We'll be using it for all our clients going forward!

Cons

My coding experience is limited so reshaping fields, etc to fit our design is still something I'm working through with our development team. Not a negative though, just expected for projects we're working on.

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

Reviewed 3 years ago

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

Pros

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.

The Most Flexible Wordpress Forms Plugin Out There

Reviewed 3 years ago
Pros

You can build and publish any type of forms in no time at all. You can collect and store the data and do whatever you want to do with this data because you are the owner. Whatever you imagine, you can build it with Formidable Forms.

Cons

Views plugin seemed a bit complicated to figure out at first. But you can easily use it once you get familiar with it.

Easy to build complex, logic driven forms

Reviewed a year ago

I love it. It does most of what I need and each year there are great improvement.

Pros

Formidable Forms lets us create complex, multi step forms easily. Conversational Forms feature allows us to guide the customer through what would look overwhelming on one page.

Cons

Customer support always delivers quality answers with 24 hours, but I would like a chat available during business hours to get help quickly or answer a short question.

My Views-The Good and Yhe Bad

Reviewed 3 months ago

I can not complain about my experience with Formidable except maybe about the support experience. Support is sometimes rude and demeaning, but they are no different than other form makers, and no one has good support. If you stay away from Support, it is a useful tool and I focus on the abilities made available to me and I like using the tool.

Pros

The ease of use and the complete functionality are unprecedented.

Cons

They sometimes try to add features that are unneeded and don't consider customers' needs; they add them whether customers need or want them.

Wonderful form builder we've used on all our client sites.

Reviewed 6 years ago
Pros

The versatility and ease of use is amazing. Often we can accomplish a project with formidable where we may have needed to write custom code or find another plugin. Formidable pro can do so much.

Cons

I wish it was compatible with the Zurb's Foundation. This isn't a huge deal but it would make our lives a little easier.

Not just a simple form...much more!

Reviewed a month ago
Pros

The infinity of things you can create. You really have no limits, it is not a simple form to receive contacts, it is much more! You can create a personalized registration form, you can create an email list that you will then use to inform your employees for example, you can create personalized pages through a form and much more! Calling it a FORM is really reductive. I recommend it!

Cons

If I have to find a "defect" it is the poor integration with page builders like Elementor (the most famous) and the poor integration with SMS gateways, you can only use it with Twilio and it's a shame. But I repeat, it's just if you want to find the "nit in the egg"!

It turns WordPress into a business tool.

Reviewed 6 years ago

Personally, I use it to make my website more useful as a business site, but I have hundreds of customers who have allowed me to use this plugin to make their websites more useful for business as well.

Pros

I like the simplicity of being able to create forms and add them to my site. I can easily modify these forms once they have been added and can insert them anywhere in WordPress.

Cons

What I don't like is that I'm often left wondering why some things aren't easier to do when most of them are. For example, I'd like to be able to easily hide the Submit button at times and make it appear conditionally, but that requires extra coding which I am not fond of doing.

Reviewed 2 years ago

No geral o Formidable Forms é uma otima ferramenta de criação de formulários altamente versátil e personalizável que oferece uma ampla variedade de recursos e funcionalidades para criar formulários avançados, integrar com outras ferramentas e automatizar processos.

Pros

O que mais gosto do Formidable Forms e a capacidade de integrar com outras plataformas e sistemas, bem como as opções avançadas de automação de fluxos de trabalho e a possibilidade de criar formulários personalizados para coletar dados de forma mais eficiente e organizada.

Cons

O que menos me agrada no Formidable Forms que tive lentidão e problemas de compatibilidade com a minha versão do WordPress, Além disso, algumas funcionalidades avançadas requerem conhecimentos técnicos mais aprofundados que um usuario novo não tem.

Consistent Development, Great Product

Reviewed 2 years ago
Pros

Formidable Forms is super easy to use, the documentation is excellent, and the features keep coming! I love that there is constant development of features, and the customer services is top notch. They really understand their product and have been a great help with understanding new features and how to implement complex forms.

Cons

With the AWeber implementation, it would be awesome to email surveys or polls to AWeber lists directly, or even to just create emails with the forms. Not sure if that's possible with email, but hey, it would be cool! :)
