Which one is for you
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
Pick WPForms if
- Fits if you run a WordPress site and want a drag-and-drop form builder
- Works for agencies with 3, 5 or unlimited sites
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you don't use WordPress, as it is not a hosted form service
- Tight if you stay free, because multi-page forms, uploads and conditional logic are paid
- Watch out: payment add-ons need Pro and CRM connections and webhooks need Elite
- Watch out: every plan is shown at 50% off a higher normal price, so check the renewal figure

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.
