02You need to spend working on the design and layout to achieve a professional-looking quote or price estimation form.
Cost Calculator is designed for CRO. Check out our examples.
Formidable Forms pricing renews at the full amount
03For example, you'll pay $39.50/year for their Basic plan for the first year and $79 thereafter. Their Elite plan becomes $300 / year more expensive. There is no Formidable Forms lifetime option either.
