# Form Vibes review (2026): is the free plan enough? > WordPress plugin that stores and exports form submissions Checked Nov 13, 2026 ยท graded Nov 13, 2026 by ToolGPA. Form Vibes is a WordPress plugin that saves entries from other form builders into the site's own database. It adds a searchable entries table, submission charts and CSV export. It works alongside Elementor forms, Contact Form 7, WPForms, Gravity Forms and others rather than replacing them. - **Category:** Forms & Surveys - **Made by:** WPVibes - **Website:** https://formvibes.com - **Runs on:** Web - **Who should skip it:** Skip it if you want a form builder, as this stores submissions only. - **Facts last checked:** Nov 13, 2026 ## Pricing As of Nov 13, 2026, Form Vibes has a free plan, and paid plans start at $49 per year for 1 site. - **Pricing model:** Free plan - **Free plan:** Free plugin on WordPress.org: capture and delete submissions, analytics, a dashboard widget and export of up to 1,000 entries. - **Free trial:** None listed. | Plan | Price | What you get | | --- | --- | --- | | Personal | $49 per year for 1 site | All Pro features, 1 year of support and updates.

Source: https://formvibes.com/pricing/ ## Key features - **Submissions in your own database:** Saves every entry to the WordPress database, so data survives email delivery failures, with a table you can search and filter. - **Submission analytics:** Line and bar charts show daily, weekly and monthly submissions, with a dashboard widget for the totals. - **Export:** Exports to CSV, up to 1,000 entries on the free plan. Pro adds unlimited and selective export, saved export profiles and Google Sheets export. - **Editing and status:** Pro lets you edit submitted values, add private notes and mark entries as read, unread or spam. - **Frontend display:** Pro shows a submissions table or counter on a public page through a shortcode or an Elementor widget. - **Role manager:** Pro assigns access to each Form Vibes feature by WordPress user role. ## Good for - WordPress sites that already use Elementor forms or Contact Form 7 - Teams who want a copy of every submission in their own database - Site owners who want a free entries table before paying ## Worth knowing - It stores and reports on submissions; the form itself must come from another plugin such as Elementor or WPForms. - It runs only inside WordPress; there is no hosted or standalone version. - Editing, notes, status, Google Sheets export and the frontend table are Pro only, as is export beyond 1,000 entries. - Without renewal, an annual plan reverts to the free feature set, though saved data stays in the database. ## ToolGPA grades **GPA: 2.6 out of 4**, graded Nov 13, 2026. Form Vibes stores form submissions in your own database and adds analytics and export. It does not build forms, so you need another plugin for that, and editing, notes and Google Sheets export are Pro. - **Value for money: A.** Personal is $49 a year for one site, about $4 a month, under 60% of the forms category's cheaper quarter ($8.25). It only covers submissions, not forms. - **Free plan and trial: B.** The free plugin captures submissions, shows analytics and exports up to 1,000 entries. - **Features: D.** It stores and reports on submissions. The form must come from Elementor, WPForms or another plugin. - **Ease of use: C.** No rating on record. Install it next to the form plugin you already use. - **Platforms and integrations: B.** WordPress only, with eight listed integrations. These are ToolGPA's own grades.

What Form Vibes does at its core is forms and reports, and that is the kind of thing an AI app builder makes well. You would give up 2 things, listed below, and little else. It costs $49 a year. An AI app builder starts at about $20 a month on our listings, and you only need it while you build. - You could make: Forms and reports: an app builder makes these well. - You could make: It runs in a browser, which is where something home-made would run too. - You could not: It plugs into other products, Elementor, Contact Form 7 and WPForms among them. - You could not: Hooks into the device itself: widgets.
