Reviews of Gravity Forms
Alternatives Considered:
Super-flexible forms package for WordPress
Pros:
Flexibility. The core features are extensive and there is a large selection of add-ons to cover most use cases / add extra functionality very cost-effectively. The quality of the code in the core plugin and official add-ons is really high, with actions/filters for everything. This provides a strong platform for any customisations required.
Cons:
It's frustrating that field types can't be changed, e.g. from tick boxes to radios (and vice versa). Instead you have to add a new field and remove the previous one.
Alternatives Considered:
Robust Form Builder for the Majority of use cases
Comments: Positive no complaints allows me to create robust solutions for most form builder use cases.
Pros:
Easy to use, Flexible and customisable for multiple Web Projects
Cons:
Overall have no issues with it however i would not say we are advanced users
Gravity Forms - Not bad, but look before committing
Comments: Overall experience is good. We've used it for 6+ years, but it is not the be all and end all of forms programs, at least not for us.
Pros:
Integrated well into our Word Press site. For the most part did the job we need it to, but maybe not as "sexy" or intuitive as other programs.
Cons:
Doesn't seem as robust or intuitive as other form programs, even some that are free to use.
Gravity Forms A+ Highly Recommended
Comments: overall experience is very good used it to implement various forms into woo commerce, from simple contact forms to sample request forms. a lot of flexibility across the board.
Pros:
Easy interface for setup, easy implementation of google recatcha, highly customisable
Cons:
very rarely you can get java script conflicts but these are very rare.
Alternatives Considered:
Best for advanced WordPress developers
Comments: Gravity Forms is great for professional WordPress developers looking to create advanced forms for clients. The plugin pricing is very reasonable for using on multiple sites and the support has been great.
Pros:
Gravity Forms has tons of customization options, hooks, and filters for advanced developers. I've done some really advanced things with the forms like complicated third party integrations using custom APIs. I use Gravity Forms because I know it will be able to handle anything I need. It is equally great for creating simple contact forms.
Cons:
I can't think of any complaints about this plugin.
Alternatives Considered:
GF works for simple to intermediate type of data submissions
Pros:
I like the platform, the new overall design looks pretty solid and straightforward. It's easy to duplicate forms, etc. I do like that they're trying to bring more details to users to choose for each part of the form creation process.
Cons:
The design of the platform itself still needs to be seamless, there are too many parts that we have to go and it's not easy to just work with Gravity Forms in any platform. There is no design out of the box, you have to know CSS or buy another plugin to use it and develop it.
Unparalleled form management system
Pros:
Gravity Forms is the ultimate form management system. It allows to easily create forms, add fields, add conditions for those fields and display it easily on your website. In addition, it has a huge list of integrations that allows us to very quickly and cost effectively integrate the forms with different systems. The data capture element is fantastic and helps organise our lead database easily.
Cons:
Some features like third party integrations may require a bit more technical knowledge, but that's to be expected with such complex functionalities. The fact that it offers it and makes it easy to do is impressive.
Flexible and customizable solution for WordPress lead capture.
Comments: Support is fairly responsive. Good lead capture product overall.
Pros:
Flexibility and integration with WordPress was easy and straightforward. Lead data capture (partial and full) is simple and intuitive.
Cons:
Limited logic and features for customization. Had to employ third-party add-ons at an additional expense.
Solid form app with a few minor limitations
Comments: Overall, we've been using it for 10 or so years now and have mostly been happy with it.
Pros:
Having all of the forms easily accessible in one spot on the site is very ideal and probably the best feature. Very easy to use with the Divi Theme
Cons:
You have to use CSS in most cases to customize the designs. The email it sends to people with the results aren't great but it's adequate. Can be difficult to integrate with Zapier apps
User Friendly Forms for website
Comments: Overall, the experience has been great. The product has been a simple fix for collecting information that we need in our daily work.
Pros:
Gravity Forms is easy to set up and use. Data can easily be downloaded in CSV format, which makes it easy to transfer to other databases.
Cons:
Updating the form periodically is my least favorite part of the product.
Excellent form builder with lots of automations, customizations, and templates
Pros:
This is an excellent form builder for WordPress. It has a great YouTube channel, knowledge base, support team, and documentation. It comes with a lot of templates and is highly customizable. With the right setup, you can automate most or all of your workflows.
Cons:
The free version of this software comes with very little features. You must upgrade to Pro License for average users or Elite License for power users.
Gravity Forms is reliable forms creator for your WP website
Pros:
Very nice and clean drag-and-drop forms creator with all the elements you need. it can be used for contact forms, for registered users there is an option to create for them a form to change their details like password, name, and more. there is an option to add Captcha to reduce spam messages.
Cons:
Its not integrated with Elementor, its not possible to edit it with Elementor and I have to add the forms using shortcodes, it's not very bad but it can be better if it will integrate with Elementor.
Alternatives Considered:
Form without coding skill for automated lead collection
Pros:
Features and option are so vast that you can create any type of form you want. It has an advantage of automations also.
Cons:
Some features are only available in paid subscriptions
Can't Do WordPress Without It
Comments: Unless we're embedding a native MAP/CRM form, there's no reason to use anything else in WordPress.
Pros:
Gravity Forms is by far our favorite WordPress forms engine. It's ubiquitous, easy to style and easy to integrate.
Cons:
Gravity Forms does require styling to offer a best-in-class user experience. Fortunately, this is easy for anyone with CSS knowledge. Out of the box integrations can be a bit weak, but Zapier powers just about anything.
Better than Contact Form 7
Pros:
We used to use Contact Form 7 for a long time and then made the switch over to Gravity Forms and we couldn't be happier. It’s a flexible, customizable and passes the data the right way for our own and our client's needs.
Cons:
Occasionally it has a problem or two connecting to crms but that's rare
Gravity Forms - a great web tool
Comments: Overall Gravity Forms is a great tool that can be used for so many things. Every two weeks I create a new form for events, polls, payments, sign-ups and so much more. Definitely a must for website design. You don't have to be a coder to use this product!
Pros:
Gravity Forms is a great plug-in. I love the drag and drop features and the new upgrades. It also integrated with my payments portals easily.
Cons:
There is no real-time help and the documentation is not clear at times. The videos are helpful. Also, it was not obvious how to integrate it into my site at first but when I figured it out it has been great.
Gravity Forms Opens Up A World of Possiblilities
Pros:
Gravity Forms is a simple to use form that allows you to perform difficult tasks. I like that when someone submits a form you can, through the use of conditional logic, trigger a notification which may be sent to a specific user requesting them to perform a specific action. (Seem complicated? It is not.)
Cons:
Unless you are very good at code not every thing you want to do can be done without purchasing another piece of software, Gravity Wiz. I still love it because you can do so much with the basic Gravity Forms software.
Easy for my clients to use
Comments: I build a lot of websites for churches and they always ask for the ability to create forms for events or prayer requests. I love that I can confidently say yes. When showing them how easy it is to create a form and gather information I always get the "oohs and aahs" . It's just super easy to use. Over the years it has gotten so much better and less clunky.
Pros:
I love the drag and drop option for creating forms. Showing it off to clients always gets the "wow factor".
Cons:
CSS can be clunky when it comes to. quick fix or implementation. I find that once I have injected Gravity Forms into my design I'll get transparent field backgrounds that I will need to fix in the CSS.
Hard to remember using forms before Gravity Forms
Comments: Overall, Gravity Forms is the only form software you should use on your Wordpress sites. After using it for the short time we have, we've completely forgotten all the struggles we had with previous forms because of how top tier Gravity Forms has been. Life time customer.
Pros:
The ability to include customization is the number one reason this is one of my biggest "go-to's" for my website. Being able to embed links is huge and also super convenient. We use it to link users to things just as an external terms or service page before clicking certain boxes. It's a lifesaver to not have to double up on work and add that exact same URL somewhere else on the website.
Cons:
The customer service has always been very professional and overall very quick. But currently the only way to contact support is through email. Which automatically causes some delays in the communication process. Being able to have an instant fix through a tech support call would be a huge feature to allow "Instant" fixes.
Forms for days
Comments: Much better than any competitor solution that I've used.
Pros:
Gravity forms is very flexible, allowing for a variety of different form configurations, that and connecting to many different CRM and other add-ons make it very useful for a lot of clients. Front-end is a little bulky, but worth the trade off for it's functionality.
Cons:
Front-end is a little bulky but with caching isn't too much of an issue.
Forms from Garvity Forms
Comments: Excellent selections and I like the customizing it can do for my business.
Pros:
If you need forms for your business whether a large or small company, this system allows you to get and create a variety of forms for many business uses.
Cons:
Possibly forms that are not needed- but this is really more of a preference
Use forms digitally with Gravity forms
Comments: Overall Gravity Forms are good, i will recommend others to use it.
Pros:
This tool is best to integrate forms in your website , like this we have remove paper works . Under this tool we have created various forms like contact form and displayed text fields based on the type of users or as per the conditions.
Cons:
Its not fully secure or encrypted if you are not using paid version , when you will use paid version they will store data at thier end with ecprypted format.
Lots of addons
Pros:
It's so great to have the flexibility with the number of available addons.
Cons:
Some of the addons I needed required a more expensive subscription package.
A solid form-building tool for Wordpress
Pros:
- Easy to use and customize - Integrates with other software/platforms (I've used with ActiveCampaign) - Simple install and setup
Cons:
- Doesn't have a ton of features - Limited integration options - Setting up integrations is kind of weird (e.g. with ActiveCampaign, you have to sync up the form AND create a list that will capture contacts)
The best form solution for Wordpress
Comments: Excellent, I have tried other solutions but i always come back to it
Pros:
Easy to set up and make forms, affordable, good automations and add ons both built in and via third party
Cons:
nothing really, sometimes the enquires go to my spam
