Online Forms — Customizable Payment, Contact, Quiz, Survey Form Builder – Jotform

76 Quality Score

Active Installs

19/30

20,000 active installs is modest compared to category leaders like WPForms (5 million) and Forminator (600,000), so the user base is relatively small.

Update Freshness

25/25

Updated November 21, 2025 and tested against WordPress 6.8.5, which signals active upkeep despite the lower install count.

User Rating

10/15

A 64 out of 100 rating from only 29 reviewers is a small sample but sits below the average for form plugins and suggests mixed user experiences.

Support Health

8/15

Only 1 support thread exists with a 0% resolution rate, which is a red flag if you rely on WordPress.org forums for help.

WP Compatibility

15/15

Requires PHP 7.4 and WordPress 5.3, which is broad compatibility but slightly behind newer form plugins targeting PHP 8+.

What It Does

The plugin lets WordPress users build forms through Jotform's hosted drag-and-drop builder and embed them on any page or post via shortcode or block. All form data, submissions, and payment processing live on Jotform's servers rather than your WordPress database, which keeps your site lightweight but ties you to a third-party platform.

Who It's For

This is a good fit for site owners who already use Jotform or need enterprise-grade compliance (PCI, HIPAA, GDPR) for sensitive data like patient intake or payment forms, and who prefer managing submissions outside WordPress. Small businesses running donation, registration, or appointment workflows will benefit from Jotform's ready-made templates and integrations.

Who Should Skip It

If you want forms, submissions, and reports stored directly in your WordPress dashboard, or you need a plugin that works fully offline from the WordPress admin, skip this. Anyone who already uses WPForms, Forminator, or Fluent Forms and has no Jotform account will get more value from a native option.

The Bottom Line

Jotform Embed scores 70.09 out of 100, reflecting a well-maintained but niche plugin that depends on an external service for its core functionality. It is worth considering only if compliance, HIPAA readiness, or existing Jotform workflows are your top priority. For most WordPress users, a native builder like WPForms or Forminator will be simpler, better supported, and cheaper over time.

Pick this if you want a native WordPress solution with millions of users, strong support, and AI-assisted form building.

Forminator Forms 94/100

Choose this for a freemium builder that stores submissions in WordPress and offers solid payment and quiz modules.

Fluent Forms 88/100

Go with this for a fast, feature-rich native form plugin with conversational forms and deep conditional logic.

SureForms 88/100

Pick this for a modern drag-and-drop experience built natively for the WordPress block editor.

MetForm 87/100

Choose this if your site uses Elementor and you want tight visual integration with that page builder.
