Which one is for you
Pick Fluent Forms if
- Fits if you run a WordPress site and want one payment for lifetime use
- Works for agencies that need licenses for 5 or unlimited sites
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you don't use WordPress, as there is no hosted version
- Watch out: the annual prices carry a first-year discount of up to 40% and the page gives no renewal figure
- Watch out: lifetime prices are shown as discounts off higher crossed-out prices, with no end date
- Not for you if you want a free trial, because the page offers only a 14-day refund
Pick weForms if
- Fits if you already run WordPress and want a basic contact form at no cost
- Works for event sign-ups that cap the number of entries
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if your site is not on WordPress, because it has no other home
- Watch out: the Pro plan prices aren't on any page we could read, so you can't budget for upgrades
- Tight if you need conditional logic, multi-step forms or webhooks, all of which are Pro
- Watch out: the plugin now sits under the BoldGrid account and the old weDevs page no longer lists it, so check who maintains it

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
