The builder

Three panes.
Zero guesswork.

Drag fields in

Field types on the left, your form in the middle. Drag to add, drag to reorder — or use the buttons and keyboard instead.

Tune every detail

Select a field to change its label, make it required, or add conditional logic in the inspector on the right.

Preview the real thing

Try the form exactly as visitors will see it. Nothing you enter in the preview is sent or saved.

Publish & share

Changes save as a draft by themselves. Hit Publish, then add it with the block, a shortcode, or an embed snippet.

Smart forms

Forms that think before they ask.

Show, hide or require fields based on other answers. Split long forms into steps. Work out totals live — then recompute them on your server so nobody can fake the numbers.

How it compares

We compared VuloForm with seven widely used WordPress form plugins, using each one’s own pricing page and WordPress.org listing. Here’s what you get without paying — and what it costs to get the rest.

Where VuloForm stands out

✓ Every feature is in the free plugin — there is no paid tier to upsell you to.

✓ Conditional logic and calculations are enforced again on your server, not just in the browser.

✓ Webhooks are signed, retried twice and logged on each submission — free.

✓ Spam protection needs no CAPTCHA and sends no visitor data to another company.

✓ No account, no telemetry, and IP addresses aren’t stored unless you switch it on.

Where others are stronger

• Payments. VuloForm doesn’t take payments. WPForms, Formidable, Fluent Forms and Forminator include Stripe for free.

• Integrations. The paid tiers of WPForms, Gravity Forms and others connect directly to CRMs, email-marketing tools and Zapier. VuloForm offers webhooks.

• Track record. VuloForm is at version 1.0. The others have years of releases and large communities behind them.

• Specialist extras. Things like quizzes, e-signatures, PDF generation and user registration are available elsewhere.

Publish anywhere

One form.
Every place you need it.

Drop it on a WordPress page, or paste a tiny snippet into a site that doesn’t run WordPress at all. Submissions always land back home.

Block editor

Shortcode

PHP

Another website

<!-- wp:vuloform/form {"formId":12} /-->

Add the VuloForm block to any page or post and pick a published form from the list.

[vuloform id="12"]

Paste it into a page, a text widget, or any page builder's shortcode element.

<?php echo vuloform_render( 12 ); ?>

Render a form straight from your theme or plugin.

<div data-vuloform="12"></div>
<script src="https://example.com/wp-content/plugins/vuloform/
  assets/js/public/vuloform-embed.min.js
  ?site=https%3A%2F%2Fexample.com%2Fwp-json" async></script>

Landing page, shop or static site — not an iframe, so it inherits the host page's fonts and width.

FAQ

Good questions.

Straight answers, no small print.

Is there a limit on forms or submissions?

No. Build as many forms as you like and collect as many submissions as you get.

Do I need another plugin?

No. VuloForm works by itself. VuloMail is optional — it makes email delivery more reliable and is required for SMS notifications.

Can I put a form on a site that isn’t WordPress?

Yes. Copy the snippet under “On another website” on the form’s Share tab and paste it into that page’s HTML. Your WordPress site must stay online, and the form needs JavaScript on the other site.

Is there a CAPTCHA?

No. Forms are protected by a hidden trap field, a minimum fill time and a rate limit. Developers can connect another anti-spam service with the vuloform_spam_check filter.

Can conditional logic be bypassed?

No. The rules are checked again on your server. A field hidden by its rules is never stored, and a required field can’t be skipped by turning off JavaScript.

Are uploaded files public?

They’re stored under long random names in a folder that blocks direct access on Apache and LiteSpeed. Administrators download them through WordPress. On nginx, ask your host to block wp-content/uploads/vuloform/.

Does “Handed off” mean the email was delivered?

It means your site’s mail system accepted it. VuloForm can’t see whether it reached the inbox — if mail goes missing, check spam and consider an SMTP plugin such as VuloMail.

What is removed when I delete the plugin?

Nothing, by default, so a reinstall picks up where you left off. To remove everything, choose “Delete everything” under VuloForm › Settings first.

✉️ Confirmation sent

Your next form is two minutes away.
