Bit Form vs Forminator Forms: Free Features, Payments & Pricing (2026)

Bit Form and Forminator Forms are both freemium WordPress form builders, but their free tiers emphasize different things. Bit Form Free is strong for logic-heavy forms, calculations, file uploads, webhooks, and integrations. Forminator Free goes further into payments, user registration, post creation, polls, and quizzes without requiring Pro.

The practical question is whether you want Bit Form’s lower-cost annual/lifetime licensing and integration-heavy workflow, or Forminator’s unusually broad free feature set with payments and interactive content tools included. Product and pricing details below were checked on September 25, 2026.

Free-plan depth

Bit Form Free includes conditional show/hide logic, multi-step forms, calculations, standard file uploads, local entry management, spam protection, and webhooks. It also advertises a broad set of direct integrations, making the free plugin useful for lead capture, quote forms, onboarding, internal requests, and automation-driven workflows.

Forminator Free is also unusually capable. It includes conditional logic, multi-page forms, calculation fields, file uploads, local submissions, webhooks, user registration/login forms, and front-end post creation. It also includes dedicated polls and quizzes, which gives it a broader content-interaction footprint than Bit Form Free.

Payments are the biggest free-tier difference

Bit Form keeps its dedicated PayPal, Stripe, Razorpay, and Mollie payment fields in Pro.

Forminator Free supports one-time Stripe and PayPal payment fields. Stripe subscription payments require Forminator Pro. That means Forminator can handle a basic one-time payment workflow without a paid license, while Bit Form requires Pro for payment fields.

Entries, webhooks, and automation

Both plugins store submissions locally in WordPress in their free editions. Both also support webhooks without requiring Pro, which is useful for sending submissions into external automation or API workflows.

Bit Form’s advantage is its larger direct integration catalog in the free product. Forminator also connects to several marketing and productivity services, but its value proposition is less about raw integration count and more about the amount of native form functionality included for free.

User registration, posts, polls, and quizzes

Forminator Free includes registration and login forms and can create posts or supported custom post types from front-end submissions. It also includes poll and quiz builders, including knowledge and personality quizzes.

Bit Form can handle user-registration/authentication and custom post type workflows, but those are part of Bit Form Pro. Bit Form can also build survey-style forms with fields, ratings, logic, and calculations, though its current official material does not present a dedicated full quiz module comparable to Forminator’s.

Pricing and licensing

Bit Form currently advertises $25/year for one site against a $39 regular price, plus $79/year for unlimited sites. Lifetime licenses are currently $99 for one site and $199 for unlimited sites.

Forminator remains free, while WPMU DEV currently advertises Forminator Pro Basic at $36/year promotional pricing against a $60 list price for one site. Pro Standard covers three sites, Pro Plus covers ten sites, and the Premium tier covers unlimited sites. Forminator does not currently offer a lifetime license.

What Pro adds

Bit Form Pro adds payment fields, signatures, authentication, custom post type workflows, conversational forms, advanced uploads, and additional automation controls.

Forminator Pro focuses on premium extensions such as Stripe subscriptions, e-signatures, PDF generation, geolocation, and other WPMU DEV Pro capabilities. The free version already covers a large amount of day-to-day form functionality.

Which workflow fits each?

Bit Form is worth considering when you want strong free logic, calculations, webhooks, and integrations, and you care about lower-cost annual or lifetime licensing as your workflow grows.

Forminator is worth considering when you want to keep more advanced functionality free, especially payments, registration/login, front-end post creation, polls, and quizzes, and you do not need lifetime licensing.
