As a WPForms alternative, Formidable goes deeper: beyond contact forms into calculator forms, web applications, and data-driven front- end displays that WPForms simply can’t match. Looking for a JotForm alternative or Typeform alternative that keeps your data on your own server? Formidable is the answer. All form data stays in your WordPress database, not on an external SaaS platform. Formidable is also the top Contact Form 7 alternative for anyone who has outgrown CF7’s limited feature set and wants drag and drop power on top. Compared to SurveyMonkey, Formidable Pro delivers professional survey forms, NPS forms, Likert scale fields, and real-time results directly inside WordPress, without a separate subscription. Ninja Forms users looking for more built-in power will find Formidable’s form builder offers calculators, Views, and a web application builder that Ninja Forms add-ons can’t replicate in a single plugin. Fluent Forms and Forminator users who need advanced calculator forms and a complete data display layer consistently upgrade to Formidable. ### Credits This online form and quiz builder plugin is created by Steve and Steph Wells and the amazing Strategy11 Team with [Syed Balkhi](https://syedbalkhi.com/) as an Advisor. ## Screenshots [⌊Build a professional WP form without any code.⌉⌊Build a professional WP form without any code.⌉[ Build a professional WP form without any code.

The fastest way to build a form is to use the example we built for you. After you activate Formidable, insert [formidable id=contact-form] on the WordPress page of your choice. Go to the Formidable page and click “add new”. Choose the Contact Us form template or another free template and click “Create”. Next, edit or create a WordPress contact page. Click the “Formidable” button to open the shortcode generator. Choose your new web form and insert it into the WordPress page. Save the page for a beautiful WP contact form, ready to collect and store your leads. The contact form template will get you up and running fast. ### Why isn’t WordPress sending emails? When you do not receive emails, try the following steps: 1. Double check the email address in your Email action on the settings page. The [ admin_email] shortcode uses the email address from your WordPress Settings -> General page. 2. Are you receiving other emails from your site (ie comment notifications, forgot password…)? If not, notifications will not work either. 3. Check your SPAM box. 4. Try a different address in your settings. 5. Install WP Mail SMTP or another similar emailing alternative and configure the SMTP settings. 6. If these steps do not fix the problem and other WP signup emails are not going out, please reach out to your web host.

Immensely helpful and appreciated. We typically use the Pro version – no complaints at all, it’s a great plugin with many great features. Especially love the conversational add-on. Highly recommend. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/9b7e8f6441e4c24bd8e628ad4064a82b4a883f0552bc4c743eb0949c35a3a77b? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[A life Saver](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/a-life-saver-90/)󠁿 [bernicembutler](https://profiles.wordpress.org/bernicembutler/) Metheven 10, 2026 1 reply Formidable Forms has made my life so much easier as an event planner. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/b071cbdd91c565203cf37fa7b5f9ac1bbdfa62ead20f396a7a1c2604c3b6390e? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Extremely useful](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/extremely-useful-188/)󠁿 [jmguridi](https://profiles.wordpress.org/jmguridi/) Metheven 2, 2026 1 reply This plugin is extraordinary ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/8579766b6d72e5418a421a8384a91082ceb807ec62516fdc15f447918bf70712? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Good but Mixed](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/good-but-mixed/)󠁿 [sahara8](https://profiles.wordpress.org/sahara8/) Metheven 2, 2026 1 reply Form builder has many useful options & works fine for basic needs.

This will automatically work based on the DISALLOW_FILE_MODS constant, and can additionally be controlled using a new frm_add_css_to_uploads_dir filter. * New: Field errors will now get removed automatically on change events regardless of the JS validation setting. * Fix: The aria-describedby attribute would not update properly when a form was submitted with errors for fields with multiple inputs. * Fix: A small styling rule has been added to prevent HTML fields from overflowing past their container when using long strings. * Fix: Color pickers used on the styler page have been updated to help maintain the active color format, preventing automatic conversions from rgb to hex. * Fix: Validation for Square has been modified to prevent the submit button from remaining disabled when the Square inputs do not include a postal code input, which happens in some countries including Japan and Australia. * Fix: A cannot modify header information – headers already sent by FrmTransLiteHooksController. php:108 warning has been fixed. * Fix: Custom CSS saved in styles would not appear as expected after duplicating, showing additional CSS selectors for the original style. * Fix: A possible TypeError when calling wp_is_valid_utf8 with a null value has been fixed. * Fix: A new style would not properly rename when it did not yet have a style ID. * Fix: PayPal Commerce has been updated to prevent issues where Google Pay and Apple Pay options would not appear if the SDKs had not loaded in time. * Fix: PayPal Commerce orders and products were not including the payment action description setting. * The overdue subscription cron message will no longer get logged when there are no active subscriptions. #### 6.31 * New: Formidable now supports PayPal Commerce. This is built into the Lite plugin. To get started, go to Global Settings > Payments > PayPal to connect your business account. * New: Form action settings have been redesigned. * New: Payment actions now use buttons to toggle the selected gateway, and gateway is the top action setting. Note that when custom gateways or Authorize.Net are active, gateways will still revert to the old settings. * New: The Collect a Payment action icon is now hidden by default, replaced by individual icons for Stripe, Square, and PayPal Commerce. If other gateways are active, Collect a Payment is still included. * New: Border styling rules have been added so autofill fields in Chrome and Safari will appear more consistent with other fields. * New: A new frm_after_import_forms action has been added for handling an imported XML after all forms have been imported. * Fix: A form would incorrectly try to submit a second time when redirecting and submitting with AJAX. #### 6.30 * New: Product, Quantity, and Total fields are now available in Lite! These are all included in the Pricing Fields section, now located above the Advanced Fields section. * New: Global custom CSS is now scoped to only style form previews on admin pages to prevent custom CSS from changing the appearance of other elements on the page. * New: New frm_after_create_entry_{form_key} and frm_after_update_entry_{form_key} actions have been added. * Fix: When editing an entry, the Other option would not correctly appear selected. * Fix: Entries would fail to save in some cases where entry names would exceed 255 characters with special unicode characters. * Fix: Custom style CSS would not properly prefix selectors when ::before or :: after were used. * Fix: Attempting to refund a Square payment would result in a fatal error when the Stripe or Authorize.Net add-ons were also active. * Fix: A check has been added to prevent a possible Cannot access offset of type string on string fatal PHP error issue.
