Biggest opportunity: Swap “form builder” for “quizzes”. “form builder” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “quizzes” sits at #24 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

of downloads still active
At least 1K of 48.1K 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 33 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.

Nice plugin. Easy to use.

I’ve tried a handful of form builders over the years, and FormGent genuinely surprised me. It slipped into my WordPress setup without drama, and I was up and running faster than I expected. The interface is straightforward. No clutter. No hunting through endless menus. I could build clean, professional forms without touching a line of code, which, frankly, is how I prefer it.

I purchased the pro version of formgent. I am aware that this is a new plugin and is still under development but within 2months of using this plugin, no updates have been pushend and nothing has been done regarding accessibility limitations which makes this plugin legally not usable in a lot of countries in europe. I reached out to the support and they told me they would be working on it. However, even despite asking 2 more times regarding the status, I didnt receive any response. I also reached out regarding another issue with the form but didnt receive any answer. Their support page inside the account also just shows a shortcode. Seems like another abandoned product.

If you’re looking for a lightweight and versatile form builder, FormGent is definitely the best choice. It perfectly replaces FluentForms and SureForms, offering all the essential features like CPT, calculators, AI builder, signatures, and integrations—all in one package. It has saved me a significant amount of money, and I hope their team continues to expand and introduce new functionalities in the future. Highly recommended!

I have been using it for a few days and surprised to see what it offers in the core! Its almost everything in the free version! wow! Quality stuff.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ Janke1.1y ago
FormGent is a great plugin that makes building forms super easy. The drag-and-drop builder is simple to use, and the AI feature helps create forms even faster. I was surprised by how many advanced features are included without needing to upgrade. For example, the free version offers multi-step forms, quizzes, payments, and more. It also connects with tools like Google Sheets and Mailchimp, which is really helpful. Overall, it’s a solid choice if you want powerful forms without the hassle.
