About Formidable Forms

Formidable Forms is the WordPress plugin for people whose form is really a small database application wearing a form's clothes.

The centre of it is calculation, and the Views feature — bundled into the higher licences at a stated value of $349 — turns collected entries back into tables, listings and reports rendered on the site itself. Logic and question types therefore reach past submission into everything the data does afterwards. Customisation is included rather than tiered, with custom CSS available on every licence.

The cost is the ladder and the learning. Four licence tiers run from $79 to $599 a year at their normal prices, with conditional logic, payments and most integrations above the entry step, and the concepts it introduces are heavier than a contact form ever needs. It repays the effort only when the form is genuinely doing work.
