Formsite users are not building contact forms
But this is the distinction that makes this page different from the others in the set. Most people leaving Typeform or Google Forms, for example, have a handful of fields. Formsite customers, though, usually have long multi-page forms with scoring, calculations, conditional routing and a generated result at the end.
So “any WordPress form plugin will do” is wrong here. In fact most of them will not.
The two that genuinely replace it
Formidable Forms. 300,000 installs, 96/100. Calculations, views, and the ability to display submitted data back on the front end. So if your Formsite forms produce a score, a quote or a report, this is the closest thing WordPress has.
Gravity Forms. Not on WordPress.org, so no public install count or rating to compare. It is commercial only, so there is no free tier to try first. Strong at long forms, conditional logic and add-ons. Many agencies build exactly this kind of thing on it, though.
The rest, and where they stop
| Plugin | Active installs | Rating | Long forms with logic |
|---|---|---|---|
| WPForms Lite | 5,000,000 | 96/100 | yes, on a paid plan |
| Fluent Forms | 700,000 | 96/100 | yes, free conditional logic |
| Forminator | 600,000 | 96/100 | quizzes and calculations, free |
| Ninja Forms | 600,000 | 88/100 | yes, via paid extensions |
| Everest Forms | 90,000 | 98/100 | basic |
| Contact Form 7 | 10,000,000 | 80/100 | no |
WordPress.org plugin API, 29 August 2026.
Contact Form 7 is on this table for one reason: it is the wrong tool for this migration. Ten million installs and it is a simple contact form plugin. So do not force it.
Two things Formsite does that you should check before committing
Result pages. Formsite can show a computed result to the person who submitted. In WordPress that is Formidable Views or custom work. So verify it does what you need before you migrate anything.
Save and resume. Long forms need it, but it is a paid feature almost everywhere on WordPress. Assume you are buying a plan.
If both matter to you, the honest answer is that this migration costs money on the WordPress side too. In short, it is a change of ownership rather than a way to get the same thing free.
After the migration
So submissions land in your database. Sending them onward to Mailchimp, Brevo, Klaviyo or a CRM is a separate job, and it is ours. Formidable and the others each have their own integrations too, but usually on a paid tier.
Questions people actually ask
Which WordPress plugin is closest to Formsite? Formidable Forms, or Gravity Forms if you are willing to buy a commercial licence.
Can I do scoring and calculations? Yes, in Formidable and Forminator. Not in Contact Form 7.
Will I need to pay? Probably. Save and resume, and result pages, are paid features on almost every WordPress plugin.
Can I import my forms? No. Rebuild them, and export your Formsite results first.
