Formidable Forms Reviews & Product Details

Ease of use, views, drag and drop, easy styling, reliable reporting and submissions, payments, mailchimp integration.

Can't think of anything. It's worth every penny and I use formidable on every single website I build and that number is well over 100 now.

Custom logins, mailchimp integrations, views, calculations, custom styles, the list goes on. I use formidable to build solutions I'd either need to sub out or use other plugins for. It's just gooood!!!!

I love the flexibility of the plugin, and I am really happy with the customer service. I use it in every project and has change the way in how we work in our company.

Until now everything works perfect, anything that I dislike.

Give me the possibility to export my clients forms submission to a csv file wich saves me a lot of time every day.

Laura at Formidable has been extremely helpful with the details of understanding how to use the shortcode filters and PHP to customize. Of course, actual customization is something you have to pay for, but help with understanding what’s happening with the code has been invaluable and definitely saved me time. Formidable has feature-rich plug-ins, for sure!

Nothing at all. The product and support are excellent!

Help with forms and understanding how to customize

Ease of use. Lots of powerful add-ons with white label feature included. You can literally customize every single aspect of your form.

Since you can customize so many aspect of your form, you'll easily feel overwhelm the first few time you setup your form. But after awhile, you'll fall in love with them (Formidable Forms)

I'm using Formidable Form for creating simple order and booking forms, connected with my local payment gateway.

Customization. Hands down the best form builder, but that 's just the beginning. Formidable Pro allows you to take the data you collect and use it any way you need, it's hard to give specifics, but examples of what it is capable of are easy. It can be a full event management system, or a complete web store, a contact directory, or a swim team management system. Formidable was not designed to be any of these things but it is powerful enough to do it. I have been asked to do things with data that would normally require a back-end solution but instead was handled by this plug-in. WordPress is a community that grows and learns together, premium plugin's were free for many years but that model comes with many downsides and few benefits. Companies such as Strategy11 continue to offer a quality product at no expense to the community and their premium solution easily adds enough to justify the expense. They remain a strong supporter of WordPress and by extension, me.

The licensing structure. A few years ago you were able to purchase the add-on's individually. Now they only come with a specific tier. I believe I understand why they did it this way and I probably would have done it myself, but I still don't "like" it.

I try to solve all my problems with Formidable. That may sound absurd and it does not work for everything, but I do try. We have all searched for plugins to do specific things only to spend hours finding work arounds for poorly written code or troubleshooting incompatibilities. I don't have these issues with Formidable so step 1 is always to consider how it can solve the problem.

As soon as we start using a feature of Formidable, another one pops up that I am driven to learn. Keep 'em coming!

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.

Forms, signatures, integrations, security...all solved.

Very easy to use - yet extremely powerful. I love that I can build a full backend login system where people can create custom profiles/posts/listings, or I can just make a simple contact form.

Nothing - amazing - and amazing support when I have any issue.

I use formidable to display form data, to send csv files, to take payments, donations. Very powerful.

I love all the features that Formidable Forms has to offer. Plus, they make it pretty user-friendly to create all sorts of forms quickly.

Some of the payment gateway integration is a little challenging for me.

I can create simple contact forms to in-depth questionnaires, making customer communication effortless. Plus, I really like how easy it is to change out little things here and there.

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.

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.

I use Formidable to gather basic contact info with basic styling to complex pricing and configuration for data and even products. I use Formidable to reduce The time hand coding or manipulating WP.

As a developer, I like the extensibility of Formidable Forms and the different add-ons that are available. Anything you can think of that needs an integrated form can almost certainly be implemented with Formidable forms. Together with the Code Snippets plugin, this is one of my core plugins that I use on all my Wordpress projects.

Nothing honestly ... or maybe that you need to install an extra plugin for the pro version? (would be nice to just have to install the public version and upgrade that with a license key instead of having to download the pro version as a separate plugin)

contact form, advanced search form to search submitted posts, automatically create posts from submitted forms, calculation form to send an automated price proposal to customers, etc...

I like that you can easily import PHP into the form builder to expand for a specific use case. We have been able to build intricate databases with the form builder that we never would have been able to do without a ton of custom code. A few lines of code and some shortcodes have made life easier. Support is amazing to work with and usually answers questions in less than 24 hours. The team has a true commitment to the WordPress community and the Slack group is always a tremendous help to solving problems. No system can build for every use case but Formidable Forms makes it easy to operate across multiple needs.

The Stripe integration could do more. Right now, it's one-directional for the most part which leaves out many reporting needs. An issue I encountered with the integration was the combination in using Stripe with registration. It resulted in a tremendous issue that took us a month or so to fix but I understand that they cannot account for the use case we had in this case. We fixed the issue and everything is working perfectly otherwise.

We have created an entire billing system for an insurance company. We have also created a classified platform and a social media platform with Formidable Forms. It's great for any sort of data entry and organizes the data well for reports. We have used the form builder in conjunction with other plugins to create piecemeal MVPs for startups looking to maximize function and save money. It's truly a great plugin to work with.

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.

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.

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.

Formidable Pro is the perfect tool for developers like me. It allows me to customize (just about) every aspect of the form elements. The VIEWS functionality is just a fantastic tool to get complex behaviours in a reasonable budget. Getting functional requirements from agencies can cause costs to skyrocket but with Formidable Pro I get to come in under budget, and still deliver a great project. Support is always quick and very helpful.

Some clients are intimidated byt he cost, but once I explain that savings they will get by avoiding custom development they understand the complex functionality they get 'out of the box'. It would be helpful to have an integrated PDF printer.

Using the VIEWS functionality I solved complex programming requirements. My clients benefited from complex solutions that don't break the bank. Additionally we solved picky requirments with the ability for fine-grained tuning of CSS, and javascript. We needed to create a mini-website based on answers from a form. Using VIEWS we accomplished all requirments. The project also required some javascript calculations which we can easily add to the forms. One client also required a sophiticated dashboard for a manager to view the forms submitted by each employee, Formidable pro comes with a customizable attractive solution out of the box.

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

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.

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.
