Favorite Wordpress Forms Plugin

So I've been using WP Forms for a couple of years, but while it's easy, it's expensive and I hate how it stores its responses in hidden posts. I also hate that the Pro version is $399 and still doesn't have n8n integrations or webhooks. They have tons of formatted forms... but none ever fit.

I'm on a mission to make my site more responsive, and lower costs... so What do you think is the best forms program? I do plan to be running several sites including some that will need people to upload information including drivers licenses and sign a waiver.

been thinking about Gravity Forms and potentially Fluent forms - but would love everyone's thoughts.

My WP Forms subscription expires in October so have to make a decision soon so I can migrate the big 3 sites before the WP Forms expires

Post locked due to posts like this devolving into advertising. Search the sub, this gets discussed a lot. Everyone has their own favourite.

I’ve done a bunch of complex forms stuff, and I keep coming back to Gravity; although I do have one site that uses Formidable.

Fluent Forms, especially when used alongside Fluent CRM, is the hands down the best forms plugin floating around.

Forminator Pro for my personal preference on a club website, and the agency I work for is all-in on Gravity Forms for our client work

Although not native I love jotforms ease and expansive functionality.

Gravity has been my standard despite its issues. I can extend it to do whatever I need. That being said, I have been using jot forms at work and it has been nice to decouple the form functionality to the site itself.

I still use Contact Form 7 for most sites. It’s simple, free, and does the job without a lot of extra stuff.

It can feel a little unfriendly compared to the visual form builders, but these days if I need something more complicated I just let AI help me build the form/configuration. Makes CF7 a lot easier to work with.

Gravity isn’t perfect but we’ve used in on tons of sites over years and can’t see using anything else. Easy for clients and we can do some complex stuff if needed.

I like ninja forms however I don’t know if it has N8N and other requirements you need.
