Which one is for you
Pick Gravity Forms if
- Fits if you run WordPress and want form entries kept on your own site
- Works for agencies building forms across many client sites on the $259 Elite license
Look elsewhere if
- Not for you if you don't have a self-hosted WordPress site or a WordPress.com Business plan, since it's only a plugin
- Skip it if you want to try before paying, as there's no free version or trial, only an online demo
- Pricey if you need Stripe, PayPal or Zapier ($159 Pro) or surveys, quizzes, signatures and webhooks ($259 Elite)
- Tight if you have more than one site, as Basic covers 1 site and Pro 3
- Watch out: asking for a refund within the 30 days switches the license off at once
Pick Tripetto if
- Fits if you run one WordPress site and want forms that ask one question at a time
- Works for developers who want to build forms into their own app
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you want the cloud studio free, as new users can't open a free account
- Pricey if you go past WordPress, since the studio is €999 a year and the SDK €325 a month and up
- Tight if you need notifications or connections on the free plugin, because they are Pro
- Watch out: Pro refunds last 14 days and do not cover automatic annual renewals
How we grade them
| 2.0GPAGravity FormsFair | 2.6GPATripettoGood | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | BGraded against its alternatives. Basic is $59 a year for one site with unlimited forms and entries, a fraction of what hosted builders like Jotform or Typeform charge. Stripe and PayPal need Pro at $159 a year, and you need a WordPress site and hosting to run it on. | BThe WordPress Pro plugin is $99 a year for one site, about $8.25 a month. The studio at €999 a year and SDK at €325 a month sit far above that. |
| Free plan and trial | FNothing free and no trial, just an online demo. There are refunds within 30 days, but asking for one switches the license off at once, and a refund isn't a trial anyway. | BThe free WordPress plugin for 1 site has unlimited forms, questions and responses with all logic and layouts. Notifications, connections and tracking need Pro. |
| Features | C30+ field types, conditional logic, multi-page forms, calculations, payments and, on Elite, surveys, quizzes, polls and signatures. The gap is the listing's own: it only runs as a WordPress plugin, so without a WordPress site it does nothing. | CStoryboard builder, three layouts and logic cover the basics. Notifications, connections and tracking are Pro, and the cloud studio is paid only. |
| Ease of use | CNo rating on record. Fields are dragged into place inside WordPress, but first you need a self-hosted WordPress site or a WordPress.com Business plan, then the plugin and its add-ons installed, then each form built. | CNo store rating on record. You build each form in the storyboard yourself. |
| Platforms and integrations | BIt runs in the browser inside WordPress and connects to Stripe, PayPal, Square, Mailchimp, HubSpot, Salesforce, Zapier and Slack, with a REST API and 500+ hooks for developers. No desktop or phone app of its own. | BWeb only, with Make, Zapier, Pabbly Connect, Slack, Google Analytics, Tag Manager and Facebook Pixel. |

Key features
Gravity Forms
- Drag-and-drop builder
- Build forms inside WordPress from 30+ field types, a template library and layouts of up to four columns per row, then embed them on any page.
- Conditional logic and multi-page forms
- Show or hide fields, sections and pages based on answers, split long forms into pages, and route notification emails by what was submitted.
- Calculations and payments
- Fields can be calculated from a formula. The Stripe, PayPal Checkout and Square add-ons, which handle subscriptions, need Pro; discount codes need Elite.
- Surveys, quizzes and polls
- Elite adds add-ons for surveys, graded quizzes, polls, signatures, partial entries from abandoned forms and conversational one-question-at-a-time forms.
- Entries stored on your own site
- Entries and uploaded files are saved to your WordPress database and server, with unlimited forms and entries, CSV export and tools for handling personal data and consent.
- REST API and hooks
- A REST API, 500+ actions and filters and an add-on framework let developers build their own integrations; the Webhooks add-on needs Elite.
Tripetto
- Magnetic storyboard
- Forms are laid out like flowcharts on a storyboard, so branches and conversational paths can be seen and rearranged without code.
- Three form layouts
- The same form can be shown as an autoscroll sequence of single questions, as a chat, or as a classic page of fields.
- Logic and calculations
- Branch, jump and pipe logic are included on every version. Pro adds a calculator, custom variables, hidden fields and a send-email action.
- Notifications and connections
- Pro sends email and Slack notifications and connects to Make, Zapier, Pabbly Connect and custom webhooks.
- Activity tracking
- Pro can report form activity to Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel and custom tracking codes.
- Own your data
- The WordPress plugin keeps responses in your own WordPress database. The SDK lets a developer control where data is stored.

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.
