Both plugins are excellent choices, but they serve different user needs. Let’s dive deeper into each.
Two Form Builders, Two Philosophies
Both ship great forms. They differ on what’s included in the box, how much you pay over time, and how they fit into WordPress.
SureForms
An AI-powered form builder built natively for the Gutenberg block editor by Brainstorm Force, the team behind Astra (1.6M+ active installs).
✨ Every feature included. $59/yr or $649 one-time.
What You Get
-
Native Gutenberg blocks, no learning curve
-
Stripe & PayPal on every plan
-
Everything inside the plugin, no addons needed
-
Every form automatically gets its own landing page
-
Unlimited AI Form Generation
SureForms’ standout advantage is its flat pricing, every feature on every paid plan with no tier-gating. The built-in AI works out of the box with no API keys, and native Gutenberg support means no separate page builder to wrangle.
WPForms
A mature, widely adopted form plugin with a custom drag-and-drop builder. Strong feature set, but most growth features are gated to the Pro tier and above.
⚠️ Key features locked behind the $399/yr Pro tier.
What You Get
-
Custom drag-and-drop form builder
-
Stripe payments Pro+ tier
-
Form Pages addon Pro+ tier
-
Form templates
-
Salesforce, HubSpot, ActiveCampaign Elite tier
WPForms is a well-established plugin with a solid reputation. The free plan covers basic forms, but the features most growing sites actually need, like conversational forms, calculations, CRM integrations, are locked behind increasingly expensive tiers.

What Our Users Say
Agencies and developers share what changed after switching to SureForms.
I have tested quite a few form plugins—SureForms has the highest capabilities for my use cases. Foremost, it makes forms functional and beautiful, which is rarely the case in other such plugins…

Things you may want to know
No. SureForms ships free on the WordPress.org plugin directory. Install it alongside WPForms, rebuild your forms, and only deactivate WPForms when you’re ready. Most agencies report a single afternoon of work for a full migration. The AI form builder accelerates this. Describe a form in one sentence and it builds the structure in seconds.
SureForms is built and maintained by Brainstorm Force, the team behind the Astra theme (1.6M+ active installs) and Spectra page builder. The same engineering team that powers a million-plus production WordPress sites maintains SureForms. Form submissions, spam filtering, and integrations are all production-grade.
A few enterprise integrations on the Elite tier, like Salesforce and Authorize.Net, but not much. If you specifically need those, stay with WPForms Elite. For everyone else, if you need things like payments, calculations, conversational forms, PDFs, landing pages, user registration, etc., SureForms ships them all on the $59 Solo plan.
SureForms charges zero platform transaction fees on Stripe & PayPal payments at the paid tier. The free version charges some transaction fees on Stripe. WPForms also takes no platform fees on Pro+ Stripe, but its Basic and Plus tiers add processing fees.
Yes. You can try SureForms, including AI form generation, with the available free version on WordPress.org. Build a real form on a real site before you spend a dollar. Or spin up a live demo with all the features available at try.new/form. No setup/configuration needed.
Yes. All paid plans include a 14-day money-back guarantee. No risk in trying.
You’ve Seen the Comparison. The Choice Is Clear
SureForms believes you deserve no limitation. No feature-gate, no surprises.
