Everest Forms is a WordPress form plugin with a free edition and paid plans from $49 a year. It runs only inside WordPress, so the free edition needs your own site and hosting, and paid plans renew yearly. - **Value for money: B.** Personal is $49 a year for 1 site, about $4 a month, but the free edition only suits you if you already run WordPress, so it is not graded as free outright. - **Free plan and trial: B.** The free WordPress.org edition has the builder, 40+ fields, uploads, unlimited submissions and Stripe and PayPal payments. You need your own site to run it. - **Features: B.** AI and drag-and-drop builders, multi-step and conversational forms, payments, quizzes, entries and exports. Nothing in the listing is missing from the job. - **Ease of use: C.** No store rating on record, and it is a plugin you install and configure inside WordPress, so it sits at C. - **Platforms and integrations: C.** WordPress only, with seven listed integrations and addons.

That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one. It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 2.6 is higher than 116 of the 148 other form and survey tools we grade. It costs $49 a year. - You could make: Forms, surveys and templates: an app builder makes these well. - You could not: A builder that other people can use without writing code. - You could not: It plugs into other products, Mailchimp, ActiveCampaign and Brevo among them. - You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself. - You could not: The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
