Forminator Forms – Contact Form, Payment Form & Custom Form Builder

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

Reviewers are consistently happy with Forminator's free feature set, ease of use and support, with only a passing request for submission-limit controls.

   This plug in works great and and even lets you embed stripe payments on your forms – for free. Supports test and paid modes – PLUS conditions for when any part of the form is shown. You can even add different products and different pricces and show them based on conditions. Far better than I expected and you cant find these features in a free plug in anywhere.
