| Pros | Live calculated fields with formulas, dates and currency; Drag-and-drop builder with conditional fields and multi-page forms; Entries stored and viewable in the WordPress admin | Many modules in one plugin, each switched on separately; Brute-force protection and an image CDN without extra services; Contact form with Akismet spam checks and entries kept in admin |
| Cons | Online payments (PayPal, Stripe, Square) need paid add-ons; Free version shows upgrade prompts in several settings screens; Large plugin with many options; a learning curve for complex formulas | Needs a WordPress.com connection to work fully; Usage tracking runs once the site is connected, with no separate toggle found; Paid plans gate some features, such as multi-step forms |
