Formidable Forms Reviews & Product Details

You can do really complex things quite easily. For example, you can have a form that users can fill out, which then generates a draft CPT, which you can review before Publish. Then using Formidable's Views, you can take information from forms and display it anywhere, conditionally, styled on a page, or only for Admins' view. What I REALLY like best is that it's clear what integrations you get, and their integrations aren't odd 3rd party developers whose prices all vary. ALL the extensions and integrations are made BY Formidable. Support is all in one place, no one can pass the buck, and their support knows all of it.

It is pricey, but even their free version is better than the other free form builders. Plus, Formidable's competitors don't tell you that you will have to pay extra, even on the highest plan, to get add-ons and that those add-ons are from an entirely different company. So while Formidable can seem expensive, it ends up being much more cost-effective in the long run.

It can do anything. It can connect anything. It's really just fabulous. I use it for a local food pantry's website, allowing people to place their pantry orders online and the pantry volunteers can easily see orders in the custom reports created with Views. I use it for the local Board of REALTOR's website for agents to submit Open House info. It creates a new Post in the CPT for Open Houses, then the Board's secretary just gives it a quick review and changes the Post from Draft to Published

I have been using Formidable Forms for over a decade in most of my client projects,

There is nothing I dislike about Formidable Forms.

Formidable forms solved all my problems to implement forms in my client's websites.

It's ease of use and short learning curve.

The price is a bit prohibitive for our small county fire department.

I sought out an online form builder for Wordpress when I took over the website, aiming to move away from paper employment applications. I've since found several other uses for Formidable that would help our department streamline some processes.

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.

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.

I use Formidable Forms for several different websites in different industries. One of the problems it solves is the ARIA test for a website that requires some enhanced Accessibility features. I also like that it integrates nicely with Stripe and Zapier. I've had to reach out to their customer support a few times, and they've been more than helpful thus far!

Simplifies the process and yields very professional results.

Nothing to dislike. Simple to use and very flexible in layouts and features.

Allows for users at our site to enroll in programs, register in our database, and signup for our newsletter. Very flexible and useful.

Diversity of features on the plugin carries the day. I love the many options that allow you to automate your form including options like e-signature which we sued for some of our applications

What i don't like as much is how the emails system works, i have had to write inline html to have html based notifications, i could be missing something

WE are able to shift from paper-based membership registration and visitor tracking to online. We also now update our inventory using Formidable forms

I like it because it's a drag and drop solution and we can create many kind of forms with many different styles

It would be great to have personalised fields that we could add on forms according to the need. For instance, the GDPR consent.

It was painfull to have to create forms because we had to know HTML code, few people were able to do it. Now, each team member needs 1 hour to be able to create his/her first form

Formidable Forms is an easy and comprehensive tool to use WordPress as a database. Everything from collecting information to creating beautiful reports and applications is complemented with a powerful API. Creating full systems in a fraction of the regular time is possible with it. It is very developer-friendly, and making complex forms is a breeze. Always getting better. They now support conversational forms and lots of UX improvements. Google sheets connection is a great addon!

PDF creation can be improved. It is too basic to be used.

Formidable is present in every WordPress site we develop. It is easy to export, replicate and definitely makes the team a lot more productive.

The plugin is so flexible such that you can practically build anything you think about, including membership portals, voting systems and so much more. And the part where you can integrate other plugins with it, is really amazing.

When updates are released, sometimes it may become unstable or even cause conflicts with other plugins. Sometimes, some features stop working, which may require me to roll back to previous versions just to keep my site stable. And of course, the pricing really seems high, especially for folks on the lower end of the world.

I am using it to build a complete membership portal for yearly subscriptions. I am also using formidable forms to build an e-voting platform for a community of professionals.

Formidable Form is always one of the first plugins I install on a new WordPress installation. Not only is it easily the best forms plugin I've worked with, it's good for so many other things, too. The more I learn about it, the more ways I find to use it to interact with visitors and manage content. It's about as powerful as you want it to be. Oh, and the support is exceptional, too.

I don't have many criticisms of Formidable. While the styles are very customization, there are specific elements that I've had trouble styling. Small details. I suspect those stumbling blocks have more do do with the limitations of HTML form elements than they do Formidable, though.

At it's most basic, Formidable is a very powerful forms plugin that has allowed me to create everything from one-field newsletter signup fields to complex questionairs with around a hundred fields and tons of conditional logic. I've also used it do build a database of content and display them to the public in complex ways. It's a swiss army knife.

One of the best features of Formidable Forms is how well it plays with others. The integrations with other platforms is one of the plugin's greatest strengths. Matching the open and extensible nature of WordPress itself, and the best of open source practices in general, Formidable Forms really makes it possible for you to transform WP into any solution you can imagine.

Along with so much power and flexibility comes a familiarity curve that requires patience. Pricing may also seem steep for small shops, individuals, and hobbyists as they grow into more complex projects, but don't be put off. If you're considering Formidable Forms, you're likely looking at tackling bigger gigs. Formidable Forms will more than pay for itself as it helps you rise to the challenge of more complex, more lucrative projects.

Formidable Forms helps me build powerful ecommerce customizations, complete billing solutions, onboarding processes, membership directories,and event management portals. Empowering small businesses to adapt to changes and make it easier for them to stay connected with and sell to their customers is wonderful. I also build events management, community management, and messaging management solutions for associations. As an independent designer and developer, Formidable Forms has helped me create useful things for clients and be a valuable asset to agencies seeking expertise to help them on challenging projects.

The functions and ease of creation allows you to create a simple or a complex comprehensive database on your website, I currently use it to manage my organization.

Currently, the dynamic fields cannot be filtered using a lookup feature which only works for lookup fields, but I believe this can be added in future upgrades.ղ

I am able to use my current hosting to operate my organization's databases and not pay 3rd party services monthly expensive fees to do the same job. My organizations entire operations are powered using formidable forms.
