The premium form plugin with the best free features

We’re a design company that has high demands for a form plugin.

Out of all of the form plugins that we tried, including Ninja, WP Forms, Formidable, and Visual Form Builder, this was the one with the most well-rounded set of free features.

The free version includes support for conditional form fields. Like only if the site visitor selects that they’re a Business do you then prompt for a business phone number.

The free version also supports saving the results to the database with a simple UI instead of relying on email to receive and archive form submissions.

Finally, the plugin has in-depth documentation that makes it easy for devs to do advanced things like updating form fields with Javascript and using custom submission callbacks.

Although Caldara forms isn’t one of the premium plugins that bothers you the most about upgrading, they did do something annoying. The plugin subscribed the e-mail for the WordPress blog to a mailing list even though I had opted out on install and never confirmed the subscription. This could be annoying when setting up a client with this plugin. I don’t need clients asking me why they’re getting spam from a plugin. This is the reason why I’m docking them one star, and only giving a four-star review.
