4.0%

of downloads still active

At least 800K of 20.2M lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Forms plugin keeps 1.3%, across 1,668 plugins.

Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Forms plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.

This plugin shipped 43 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

    This form plugin works beautifully and the developers do NOT drive you crazy with prompts to upgrade at every turn. It is simple, nicely designed and helps me get my work done faster.

    O Plugin atende todas as necessidades de criação de um formulário desde os mas simples aos mais complexos e completos. Pode-se dizer que pensaram em todos os cenários possíveis para a criação de formulários que atendam todas as necessidades. Muito bom!

    I used gravity forms for a long time before switching to fluent forms, and I don’t regret it.GF’s cloud upload options were limited to dropbox, which got expensive for what I needed. Fluent forms cloud storage addon gives me both dropbox and cloudflare R2, so I can pick what works best per project! r2 alone has saved me real money.Also, conditional folder option has also been a pleasant surprise. My uploads now sort into the right folders nicely which is saving time and even cutting hosting costs. Fluent forms keeps improving with every update. A few small things could still be better, but overall I’m glad I switched and don’t plan on going back.

    Time spent on using this plugin is limited, as it walks you through the needed process. Beats out WPforms and OMG old Contact Form 7 and no need to cry about how to set it up. Tested the free, went to paid & well – impressed, many integrations, and yes the support is there. They’re a solid group of people – looking to create solutions. Good plugin – best I have used yet.
