Features WPForms Doesn't Have
These capabilities are exclusive to FormForge Pro and are not available in WPForms at any price.
PDF Generation
Auto-generate branded PDFs from submissions. Invoices, certificates, contracts. WPForms has no PDF capability at any price.
Conversational Forms
Chat-like forms included in FormForge Business. WPForms Conversational Forms requires their Pro tier ($199.50/yr promo, $399/yr renewal).
Built-in Analytics
Track views, completions, and abandonment natively. WPForms requires a separate analytics addon.
Calculations at $99 Tier
Build cost calculators and quote generators with math-based fields and formulas — included in FormForge Pro ($99/yr). WPForms gates calculations behind the Pro tier at $199.50/yr promo ($399/yr renewal).
20+ Integrations Included
All integrations are bundled across FormForge's tiers (payments + storage at Pro, CRMs + email marketing + automation at Business and above). WPForms gates CRM integrations (Salesforce, HubSpot, Zoho) behind their Elite tier ($299.50/yr promo, $599/yr renewal).
Quiz Scoring
Full quiz mode with automatic grading, personality results, and score-based redirects. WPForms Survey & Polls addon is separate.
FormForge Displays
Publish form entries as public directories, month-view calendars, or chronological timelines. Drop a shortcode or an Elementor widget on any page. WPForms Entry Views are admin-only — no equivalent for the public front end at any price.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I switch from WPForms?
Yes. You can run FormForge alongside WPForms during the transition. Recreate your forms using the drag-and-drop builder or 110+ templates, then deactivate WPForms when ready.
Is FormForge compatible with WPForms?
Both can be installed simultaneously during the transition. We recommend using one form plugin to avoid conflicts. Deactivate WPForms after recreating your forms in FormForge.
Why switch from WPForms?
FormForge Pro starts at $99/year vs WPForms Basic at $99/year. WPForms gates calculations, payments, conversational forms, save & resume, and Google Sheets behind their Pro tier ($199.50/yr promo, $399/yr renewal); FormForge includes those at $99/year. CRMs like Salesforce/HubSpot need WPForms Elite ($299.50/yr promo, $599/yr renewal); FormForge includes them in Business at $199.
How does pricing compare?
FormForge Pro: $99/yr (Pro, 1 site), $199/yr (Business, 5 sites), $299/yr (Agency, 100 sites). WPForms renewal pricing: $99 (Basic), $199 (Plus), $399 (Pro), $599 (Elite). WPForms first-year promo runs about 50% off. FormForge offers more bundled features at the lower tiers.
Does WPForms have features FormForge doesn't?
WPForms has a much larger template library (2,100+ vs 100+), though many are minor variations. They also have a longer track record and bigger brand. However, FormForge includes conversational forms, PDF generation, quiz scoring, and calculated fields at every price point -- features WPForms either doesn't offer or restricts to higher tiers.
