Fennec Forms vs Gravity Forms

Gravity Forms is a mature, paid form builder with a large add-on catalogue, and every license includes conditional logic, multi-page forms and uploads. Fennec Forms puts those in a free plugin, along with fee-free Stripe payments and webhooks that Gravity Forms reserves for its higher licenses.

When Gravity Forms is the better fit

  • Agencies and developers who want a large add-on ecosystem; the Elite license includes all of Gravity Forms’ add-ons.[1]
  • Complex forms that need more field types (Gravity Forms lists over 30).[8]
  • Anyone who wants to try before buying: a free 14-day online demo at the Elite level, no card needed.[3]

Where Fennec Forms differs

  • You can run Fennec Forms without paying anything: logic, multi-step forms, uploads, stored entries, Stripe payments and webhooks are all in the free plugin.
  • Webhooks are signed with HMAC-SHA256 so the receiver can verify each request.
  • Forms Pro adds calculations, notification routing, subscriptions and webhook retries for $59/yr (1 site) or $99/yr (5 sites); if the license lapses, Pro keeps working.

What Fennec Forms doesn't do (yet)

  • Gravity Forms has years of add-ons and integrations behind it; Fennec Forms had its first stable release in October 2026.
  • Gravity Forms has more field types and a longer refund window.
  • Fennec Forms supports Stripe only, and native CRM integrations are still planned.
  • Fennec Forms isn’t on WordPress.org yet; you download it from fennecpress.com.

Moving from Gravity Forms

  1. Install and activate Fennec Forms on the same site. Leave your current form plugin active for now.
  2. Go to Fennec Forms → Tools. Forms found in the Gravity Forms tables are listed automatically; you can also upload an export file.
  3. Tick the forms to bring over (and “Copy entries too” where the source keeps entries), then import.
  4. Read the import report: it lists every field mapped to the closest type, anything not imported, conditional logic and notifications.
  5. Imported forms arrive as drafts. Check each one, publish it, then swap the block or shortcode on your pages.

Limits to know about

  • Forms, fields, conditional logic and notifications come across, and entries can be copied too. Re-running skips entries already copied.
  • From another site, upload a Gravity Forms export (.json); export files hold forms only, not entries.
  • Only the default confirmation is imported; conditional confirmations aren’t supported yet.
  • Gravity Forms is left untouched.
