WS Form is the most powerful WordPress form plugin I have ever used. Great support too!


The Most Powerful Form Plugin

great


Best plugin to use for a developer. Really like the feature to chose the css framework.


Excellent plugin


Hi



thanks to ws form team, for the great work, it's too rare to find such a pro and clean codes like this.



regards.


Really a pro clean plugin


Hands down, the best form plugin we've used over the years. Not to mention the support is amazingly fast and comprehensive.


Best Form Plugin


I've been using WS Form (and WS Form Pro!) for about 6 months now, and my only regret is that I didn't start using it way sooner.



Not only can I create extremely complex forms — you know, the kind that it would take a "real developer" hours and hours to make — without issue... Even my most simple of forms are more robust. 



The support is top notch. 



The integrations are plentiful.



The updates are frequent.



WS Form is the model for how to run a WordPress plugin business. 


It doesn't get any better than this!


Such a well thought out and detailed plugin. It's so intuitive and you can do just about anything with it! Such a pleasure to work with.


My new favorite form plugin


I switched from Gravity Forms to WS Form because I was looking for a 'no-code' solution. So glad I found this (oddly not well known), form builder. What used to take minutes to make a form, editing functions.php to get some basic stuff in there, it now takes seconds! Now I'm actually looking forward when I client asks me to build a form! :) 


Makes working with forms a breeze (and fun) !


We started using wsform this year and are so impressed with its functionality and also their customer service. Mark works very hard to respond to each and every question in a timely manner. We are so glad to have added wsform to our tech stack!



Some of the things that we like about wsform:1. Their knowledgebase is comprehensive. This is where you would start and if you can't find a solution their team will respond to your ticket in a timely manner.2. As an agency you don't have to worry about paying extra for all the add-ons. This is incredible because premium integrations like Salesforce, Mailchimp, ConvertKit, PayPal, Stripe, to name a few, are all included. You just need to install that specific plugin if you'd like to use it.3. Their responsive form builder layout is as simple as it gets!4. Webhooks! Need I say more?!5. It works great straight out of the box and when paired with conditional logic will only make your form more powerful!


The most flexible forms software with the best customer service


I use the PRO version already for about two years, and it's easily the best form builder for advanced users and developers.



Their support is superior too!

<h3>Privacy Policy</h3>
Sobi Forms processes data submitted through your forms. Per form you choose how submissions are delivered:
<ul>
<li>Email notifications – when enabled and recipient addresses are set, field values are sent via <code>wp_mail()</code>.</li>
<li>Visitor confirmation – when Visitor email confirmation is enabled, the submitter may receive a simple thank-you at the address from the selected email field (no submitted field values in that email).</li>
<li>Database storage – when Save to database is enabled (default for new forms in the builder), submissions are saved in custom tables on your site (<code>wp_sobiforms_submissions</code>, <code>wp_sobiforms_forms</code>). Each form has its own retention setting (auto-delete after N days). You can use inbox-only delivery with no email.</li>
<li>Hashed IP – when storage is enabled, a one-way SHA-256 hash of the visitor IP is stored with each submission for abuse prevention. Raw IP addresses are not stored.</li>
<li>Rate limiting – a transient keyed by hashed IP limits submissions to 5 per hour. Transients expire automatically.</li>
<li>Admin notes – internal notes on submissions are stored in your database and never shown on the front-end or included in emails.</li>
<li>No tracking – Sobi Forms does not connect to third-party analytics or advertising when processing form submissions.</li>
<li>Optional Akismet – if you enable Akismet spam filtering and the Akismet plugin is active, submission content may be sent to Akismet’s service for spam checks.</li>
<li>No data sent to the plugin author – form submissions stay on your server and mail server. The Feedback settings tab links to the WordPress.org support forum and <a href="https://sobiforms.com/roadmap/" rel="nofollow ugc">sobiforms.com/roadmap</a> only if you choose to open them.</li>
</ul>
