Calculated Fields Form – AI Form Builder for WordPress – Contact, Payment, Quote, Quiz & More vs HTML Forms – Simple WordPress Forms Plugin

Calculated Fields Form is a full-featured WordPress form builder plugin. It lets you create any type of form — from simple contact forms to complex multi-step booking systems, quote generators, order forms, and payment forms — without writing a single line of code. Its standout capability is real-time dynamic calculations: form fields can automatically compute results (totals, prices, dates, distances, scores) based on values entered by the user. This makes it the ideal choice whenever a form needs to respond intelligently to user input. Is Calculated Fields Form only for forms with calculations? No. Despite its name, Calculated Fields Form is a complete, general-purpose WordPress form builder suitable for any use case. The “calculated fields” refer to an advanced feature the plugin offers on top of all standard form capabilities. You can use it to build: Contact forms — simple name, email, and message forms Booking and reservation forms — with date pickers and availability logic Quote and estimate forms — with automatic price calculation Order forms — with dynamic product pricing Payment forms — integrated with PayPal, Stripe, and many other gateways Registration and sign-up forms — for events, services, or user accounts Survey and quiz forms — with conditional logic and scoring Lead generation forms — connected to Mailchimp, HubSpot, Salesforce, and more Mortgage and loan calculators — with financial operation modules Shipping and logistics forms — with distance and travel time calculations Why choose Calculated Fields Form over other WordPress form plugins?

With HTML Forms, you can easily add multi-purpose forms to your WordPress site. The idea behind HTML Forms is different than most other form builder plugins: You manage the form HTML. The plugin manages the PHP and a tiny bit of JavaScript. That’s right. No “intuitive” drag & drop interface. We believe that dynamic form builders can be great, but they also severely limit your options. Also, they’re slow and overly complicated from a technical point of view. HTML Forms aims to be simpler, faster and smarter. It’s the ideal plugin solution for developers looking for a simple way to create a contact form or other HTML form. You define your form fields in HTML and the plugin takes care of submitting the form, saving the data and running a configurable set of form actions. 1. Define your form fields You can use anything that is valid HTML. Just ensure all input elements in your form have a name attribute to save the data entered in that field. 2. Configure your form actions By default, form submissions are automatically saved for you. You can configure several other actions to run when a form is submitted, like sending an email notification or subscribing to Mailchimp. 3. Show the form somewhere on your site Show your form by using the [hf_form] shortcode in your WordPress posts, pages or widget areas. HTML Forms Features Full control over the HTML for the form fields. If you want, we’ll help you in generating the field HTML though. Each form submission is automatically saved in your database and can be viewed in a simple table format. Configure an unlimited amount of actions to run when a form is successfully submitted. For example, sending out email notifications. Access form field values by referencing the field name, eg [NAME] or [EMAIL]. Hide form or redirect to URL after a successful submission. Configurable & translatable form messages. Field validation. Developer friendly. HTML Forms comes with a myriad of JavaScript events and WordPress hooks that allow you to modify or extend the plugin’s default behavior. The Perfect WordPress Form Plugin For Everyone HTML Forms is for everyone that wants a flexible & high performing form solution. Users. Managing your own site? With HTML Forms, you don’t need any technical knowledge to setup a contact form. Developers. Building a site for your client?
