Fluent Forms Alternative

The Fluent Forms Alternative That Does More

Fluent Forms covers the basics, but WPForms goes further with built-in AI, form analytics, and 2,100+ templates, trusted by 5,000,000+ websites. Build your first form in under a minute.

Where WPForms Pulls Ahead of Fluent Forms

From capturing leads before visitors leave, to collecting payments without friction, to turning submissions into insights you can act on, WPForms gives you more at every step.

Ease of Use

WPForms opens a dedicated, full-screen drag and drop builder. Your fields stay on the left, a live preview fills the right, and most people publish their first form in under 5 minutes.

Fluent Forms is powerful, but it packs its options into a denser interface that takes longer to learn. If you want capability without the ramp-up, WPForms is the easier Fluent Forms alternative.

AI Form Building

Fluent Forms AI focuses on first-draft generation, WPForms gives you a full AI toolkit.

WPForms AI also edits existing forms conversationally with Smart Edit, generates dropdown and multiple-choice options with AI Choices.

And if that weren’t enough, it can also write calculation formulas, and translates entire forms in one prompt.

Form Analytics

WPForms has built-in Form Analytics that track views, conversion rate, abandonment, field-level drop-off and the average time spent on every field.

You see the exact field where people quit, and an AI chat answers questions about what is hurting conversions.

Fluent Forms offers a Pro reporting dashboard with views, submission counts, and a partial-entry completion rate.

Dashboard card: Form Analytics over last 30 days showing Views (4,286), Conversion Rate (24.8% with +3.2%), Abandonment (9.1%).

Templates

WPForms ships with 2,100+ templates templates covering contact, registration, order, survey, booking, and hundreds more use cases, so you start from a working form.

Fluent Forms only offers around 200 templates. More starting points means less time building from scratch, and every WPForms template is fully editable in the same drag and drop builder.

Powerful Forms, Without the Learning Curve

WPForms is built to be the easiest form builder on WordPress.

The full-screen editor keeps your fields on one side and a live preview on the other, so what you build is what your visitors see.

Beginners publish their first form in under 5 minutes, and advanced setups still stay drag and drop.

A Full AI Toolkit, Not Just a Form Generator

Both builders can generate a form from a description. WPForms AI keeps going after that.

Smart Edit changes existing forms from a chat box, AI Choices fills in dropdown and multiple-choice options,

AI also writes your calculation formulas, and Instant Translations localize an entire form.

See the Exact Field That Loses People

Fluent Forms can tell you how many people submitted. WPForms tells you where the others gave up.

Built-in Form Analytics track views, conversion rate, abandonment, and time spent on every field.

So when your checkout form’s phone field is losing 27% of visitors after 38 seconds of hesitation, you see it and fix it.

Start From 2,100+ Templates and Connect Everything

WPForms gives you 2,100+ ready-made templates versus around 200 in Fluent Forms, so you launch from a working form for almost any use case.

Then connect your forms to email marketing tools, CRMs, and 9,000+ apps through Zapier, plus Make and n8n for automation workflows.

Your email marketing, CRM, payments, and spreadsheets all stay in sync automatically.

Switch to the Most-Reviewed Form Builder on WordPress

WPForms powers over 5,000,000 websites and holds 4.8 stars with 13+ thousand 5-star reviews on WordPress.org, far more validation than any other form builder.

New Feature

WPForms Dashboard

Dark blue hero with a circular bear logo on the left, large headline'Introducing the New WPForms Dashboard' and an ANNOUNCEMENT badge; a dashboard mockup is visible on the right.

The WPForms Dashboard is a new home screen that opens the moment you click WPForms in your admin menu. Stat cards across the top total up your forms, entries, payments, views, and spam across the whole site.

An Entries widget charts activity over your chosen date range with a per-form table of entries, views, interactions, and conversion rate, and a payments widget totals everything collected once a gateway is connected.

With the Geolocation addon active, Top Locations ranks the countries your visitors come from, and a Suggested Next Steps panel points to features worth turning on.

Nothing to install, as it comes with every plan, including Lite!

New Feature

WPForms QR Code

Announcement banner: dark blue background with headline'Say Hello to WPForms QR Code: One Scan Opens Your Form' and a large QR code on the right.

Every form now has its own built-in QR code generator, with nothing extra to install or buy.

Open a form’s General settings, choose the page the form lives on or paste its URL, and click Generate QR Code to copy it or download it as a PNG or a print-ready SVG.

Put it on menus, packaging, event badges, or business cards, and every scan opens your form instead of a page that only hands people something to read.

Included with every plan, including Lite; Pro and Elite plans can keep, remove, or replace the WPForms logo in the center with their own.

New Feature

Ranking Field for Surveys & Polls

Announcement hero: dark blue background, bear avatar left, large'Introducing the New WPForms Ranking Field' text, and three stacked white option cards with 'Movies' highlighted.

The Surveys & Polls addon gains a Ranking field!

Instead of scoring each option separately, respondents drag options (or tap arrow buttons on a phone) into the order they prefer, so one option always has to come first.

WPForms tallies every response into a “Times at #1” count and an average rank for each option, with a chart that makes the winner obvious.

Lay options out as a vertical list or a grid, and use Image Choices or Icon Choices in place of plain text labels.

Integration New Feature Payments

Mercado Pago Addon

Introducing the WPForms Mercado Pago Addon: Card Payments Built for Latin America

The Mercado Pago addon brings on-page card payments built for Latin America to your forms.

Buyers enter their card details into secure, Mercado Pago-hosted fields inside the form, choose an installment plan, and pay in ARS, BRL, CLP, COP, MXN, PEN, or UYU without leaving your page.

An approved charge fires your confirmation, notifications, and integrations at the moment money actually moves, and full or partial refunds can be issued from WPForms » Payments.

WPForms takes no transaction fee, and it works with Quantities, Coupons, multi-page forms, Conversational Forms, Lead Forms, and Form Pages.

AI New Feature

WPForms Analytics

Dark blue hero with a bear avatar left, large WPForms v2.0 headline and a form analytics screenshot on the right.

WPForms 2.0 adds a complete form performance tracking suite inside your WordPress dashboard.

The All Forms page now shows Views, Entries, and Conversion Rate for every form, and each form gets its own analytics dashboard with views, interactions, conversion rate, abandonments, and errors over the last 7, 30, or 90 days or a custom range.

A field-by-field table shows interactions, time spent, errors, and abandonment for every field, so you can see exactly where people give up, and you can set a conversion goal to track progress.

There’s also a built-in AI chat reads your form data and tells you what is working, what is hurting conversions, and what to fix first.
