Based on the data on this page, Forms & Payments is the stronger choice for most Wix App Market merchants — 4.7★ vs HDW Player's 1.9★ is a meaningful gap that usually reflects real product or support quality differences across the user base. Pricing entry tiers: Forms & Payments at Free plan available, HDW Player at Free plan available. Check each app's tier structure for the capacity limits you actually need before deciding — the headline number is the same shape, but the gating shape per tier (apps, orders, integrations) varies. Forms & Payments has the larger user base (5,738 reviews vs 34), which usually maps to broader integration coverage, faster bug-fix cadence, and a deeper bench of community workflow patterns. HDW Player's smaller cohort can be an advantage for niche workflows where the bigger app has accumulated bloat. Recommended by store size: small/early-stage merchants who need fast install and low risk should default to Forms & Payments; mid-market and enterprise merchants with specific feature requirements should evaluate both — HDW Player's 34-review base may include the workflow context that matches your specific use case better than Forms & Payments's broader-but-shallower coverage. This verdict is generated from the live marketplace data on this page — rating, review count, pricing tier, and category position all refresh from the canonical Wix App Market listing every 24 hours. AppRanks does not accept payment to influence comparison outcomes; the methodology is documented on the About page and applies identically to every pair on the site.

Forms & Payments typically suits established stores with steady traffic based on its review-base composition (5,738 reviews). HDW Player aligns more with early-stage and growth-mode stores (34 reviews).

Forms seem good for the most part, but I couldn't change the font and font size until support disabled some code, which seems strange. And the Google Sheets integration had some issues. After submitting a form, every other field in Google Sheets had a field label about "Opt-in to email marketing", which made the spread

I wasn't getting my forms vial email after clients completed their form and payment and support was very helpful in resolving the issue, in a fast and timely manner. Mithsou and Arlyne Catungal were very helpful with my issues as well as offering suggestions to make things easier.
So far so good
