What is Fluent Forms?
Fluent Forms is a WordPress form builder plugin built by WPManageNinja. It runs inside the WordPress dashboard and stores entries in your own database, with no response limits. The free version on WordPress.org is unusually complete, with conditional logic, conversational forms, multi-column layouts and Stripe payments included.
Pro is a single tier that includes every feature and add-on, priced only by the number of sites: $79 a year for one site, $159 for five sites and $299 for unlimited sites. Lifetime licenses start at $349 for one site. Pro removes the 1.9% Stripe transaction fee charged on the free version.
