"Formidable Forms - Simple & Powerful Forms for your Wordpress Site"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Formidable Forms?

Ease of use. I've used other form builders, and none of them were nearly as easy and intuitive for building WordPress forms. The range of features and input fields is expansive, and I have yet to throw anything at it that it wasn't capable of. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Formidable Forms?

Nothing comes to mind. It's really well developed and feature rich. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Formidable Forms:

Formidable may be one of the newer kids on the block, but is well worth looking at for the ease of implementation, and the power of the forms you can build. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Formidable Forms solving and how is that benefiting you?

In most cases I needed to enable site visitors to upload attachments as part of an application process. Formidable Forms allows for that functionality, and delivers forms to the site owner cleanly and easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Formidable keeps surprising us"

As soon as we start using a feature of Formidable, another one pops up that I am driven to learn. Keep 'em coming! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Formidable Forms?

Only that years ago when we first started using Formidable, they offered "hire an expert". We did and unfortunately that person was less than expected. Some of our clients are still feeling the pain. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Powerful, but complex and somehow expensive"

3.5/5

What do you like best about Formidable Forms?

If your are a programmer, you can do about everything you need related to forms with Formidable. There is a rich set of features and functions making everything possible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Formidable Forms?

There use to be a powerful support site with public Q&A available on which we were able to search on a subject and often find an answer, since a similar problem had been solved already. Also, the team support was small but terrific. Today, there is no such public Q&A database available and the support is correct but no longer awful. Also, the pricing is discouraging for small businesses, particularly when you need some add ons which are available in higher end packages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Formidable Forms:

Check for the price of all the components you might need Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are 2 very important aspects about Formidsble Forms: 1. The support and availability is among the best for any WP plugin, 2. The functionality and control to create a great user experience is unmatched for both developers and drag and drop users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are many form builders out there and many are comparable, Formidable does have a slight learning curve because it works differently than other form builders but once you get it you won’t look back. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I recommend Formidable Forms to solve simple to complex user experience problems. Gathering data can be a cumbersome and often difficult process to develop and for the end user.

Easy to use, great support and solid updates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great Plugin and Easy to Use"

5/5

What do you like best about Formidable Forms?

Two of the biggest things I like about Formidable Forms is the ability to have "views" built it without third party plugins and the ability to edit the HTML of fields - this is especially helpful if converting from Contact Form & where there was some custom layouts Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Formidable Forms?

I have been using Formidable Forms since 2011 and as such have an older license that does not include all the plugins which sometime creates limitations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Formidable Forms:

Formidable Forms is a great forms program - like everything there are certain cases where it isn't the right fit - there are some WordPress sites where I'm running this along with other form plugins depending on what then end goal I have is. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Formidable Forms solving and how is that benefiting you?

I have been able to use Formidable Forms to create an online registration system where I have a database of attendees and I can do a lookup by company and then select from the reps from that company. It makes registration very simple and didn't have to build a custom solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The most comprehensive & customizable form plugin for WordPress, period."

5/5

What do you like best about Formidable Forms?

Formidable's purpose is simple enough - easy design interface, controls in plain English, and even some advanced filters to get you along. As a plugin that you can use to create frontends to SQL databases, and an entire universe of PHP customization, make this a truly Formidable plugin. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Formidable Forms?

Views are easy to make, but a little difficult to make pretty. If you know basic HTML, then doing a table with some rows is easy enough, and the output looks as expected. There is another plugin called wpDataTables that makes the marriage complete! Easily add super powerful data display and editing capabilities to front-end users with a few clicks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Formidable Forms:

It seems like you can take a dive off the deep end, but really it is like any other programming language - you learn the parts you need and ask for help on the parts you don't understand. Formidable's support is top notch and I've never received support like that from ANY product I've used. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Formidable Forms solving and how is that benefiting you?

As a plugin that can handle CRUD Create/Read/Update/Delete - I have found it indispensable as a tool to create complete modules for specific tasks within a company, and I can tie all that information back together for reporting using SQL. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Hands down, this is the best forms system."

5/5

What do you like best about Formidable Forms?

Formidable is super user friendly (we have numerous staff that design forms now who are not web designers) and at the same time can go deeper with custom HTML, conditional logic, custom CSS, math calculations, etc... The builder is drag and drop easy, results are emailed, exported as CSV, displayed on pages, or whatever you need. It's amazing!

I've now used this plugin on dozens of sites over the years and never once have I regretted it. It always works, always stands up to the project's needs, and the support has been amazing when rarely needed to be called on. Seriously, they are the best support team I've seen for any plugin I've ever seen. Super responsive and super helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Formidable Forms?

The only issue (if I had to pick one) would be that they no longer offer pro plans for a flat fee as it is now a yearly fee, but that's totally justifiable as they need an ongoing income stream to support their business.

There are great examples of other code and things you can do on their website, but with so many people using this plugin, it seems like a community site would be cool to share ideas, examples, builds, etc if you want to really build a community of users. This would be different than a chat based site like their Slack channel, rather a forum. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Formidable Forms:

Try the free version on the wordpress repository. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Formidable Forms solving and how is that benefiting you?

I've made basic feedback/contact us forms, product question forms, live event voting forms, association dues payment forms, job application forms, personality tests, and more. This has been an excellent tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
