Fluent Forms
Our take
Fluent Forms gives away features that other form builders charge for: conditional logic, conversational forms and saved, exportable entries are all free. It is also one of the lightest form plugins in terms of page weight. Multi-step forms, calculations and most third-party integrations need Pro, but for contact and lead forms the free version is hard to beat.
Good
- Entries saved in the dashboard and exportable for free
- Conditional logic in the free version
- Very light on the front end
- Imports forms from WPForms, Contact Form 7 and others
Watch out
- Multi-step forms and calculations are Pro
- Most marketing integrations are Pro
Fluent Forms is a drag-and-drop form builder for anything from a simple contact form to a survey or a payment form. You add fields to a canvas, arrange them in columns, set rules for what appears when, and embed the form with a block or shortcode. A standard form adds very little CSS and JavaScript to the page.
Free features that stand out
- Conditional logic to show or hide fields
- Conversational forms that ask one question at a time
- Entries saved in the dashboard, with filters and export
- Spam protection with reCAPTCHA, hCaptcha and more
- Form scheduling and submission limits
- AI form builder and reusable templates
- Migration from WPForms, Contact Form 7, Gravity Forms and Ninja Forms
Free vs Pro
Fluent Forms Pro adds multi-step forms, numeric calculations, quizzes, more field types, user registration and a long list of marketing and CRM integrations.
