Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.6
GPA, above 116 of the 148 other form and survey tools we grade
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.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about Form Vibes, taken from its own pages and our grades.
It does not build forms, so you need another plugin for that, and editing, notes and Google Sheets export are Pro.

The report card
Best for keeping and exporting WordPress form submissions
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.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| 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. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who Form Vibes is for
- Fits if your forms are in Elementor or another plugin and you want entries saved
- Works for sites that need a submissions dashboard inside WordPress
Who it is not for
- Skip it if you want a form builder, as this stores submissions only
- Tight if you export a lot, since the free plugin stops at 1,000 entries
- Watch out: editing, notes, status, Google Sheets export and the front-end table are Pro
- Watch out: without renewal an annual plan reverts to free features, though saved data stays
- Watch out: it runs only inside WordPress
Good to know
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.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
You could make this
A form at its plainest is questions, a button and a table of answers.
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.
What you could make
- Forms and reports: an app builder makes these well.
- It runs in a browser, which is where something home-made would run too.
What you could not
- It plugs into other products, Elementor, Contact Form 7 and WPForms among them.
- Hooks into the device itself: widgets.
What this rests on. Form Vibes’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
