COST CALCULATOR VS WPFORMS

WPForms does not support calculations

Options are very limited if you want to do any kind of calculations with WPForms
01

Calculations are not supported and there are official no add-ons. You’ll need to find a third party solution or try to Google a code hack.

Cost Calculator exists to make powerful form calculations a breeze. See a demo.

WPForms templates for quote forms that don’t convert as well
02

Conversion rates are much higher if you can estimate costs. We looked through their 600+ demo templates and couldn't find one featuring any type of calculator - let us know if you do!

Find the right Cost Calculator template that will help you win more business. Check out some examples.

WPForms pricing: it doubles after 12 months
03

The WPForms Pro price matches Stylemix Theme Cost Calculator’s - $49.50/year. But watch out as when you go to renew it the bill is twice as big. WPForms doesn't offer any lifetime licence either.

Cost Calculator prices stay the same at renewal. Check out our plans.

Why is Cost Calculator cheaper?

The renewal price is the same as what you originally paid.

WPForms and Formidable Forms cost twice as much when you renew after the first year - check their small print.

We offer a lifetime licence.

Saving you hundreds of dollars over the years.

FEATURE COMPARISON

How does WPForms compare to Cost Calculator?

Let's take a look at some of the more important features

Calculator Form
WPForms request a quote forms

WPForms does many things well but not calculations. It wasn’t designed for them, and there are no official add ons either.

It may be a good Gravity Forms alternative but not for quote forms and calculating estimates.

With Cost Calculator you can created quote forms in minutes that will convert at much higher rates. See it in action.

WPForms repeater & dynamic choices

WPForms repeater and WPForms dynamic choices are both supported and easy to implement. But you can’t make calculations on values that are parsed dynamically.

With Cost Calculator, you can offer choices dynamically AND calculate costs and values based on them. Try it out now.

Calculator Condition
Calculator Orders
WPForms entries & order management

WPForms entries are a Pro feature but as basic as it gets. You can view and edit them as if they are a standard WordPress post type. Not quite ‘streamlining you workflow’, as they claim.

Cost Calculator’s Order Dashboard is a complete and powerful order management system. Learn more about it here.

WPForms WooCommerce: integrating via Zapier

There's no native integration - you will need to sign up for Zapier and spend time configuring and maintaining the integration, leveraging a WPForms webhook.

If you have development resources you can also use the WPForms API to create your own integration. But this is costly.

Our Cost Calculator plugin allows you to connect to and update WooCommerce product pricing. Learn more.

Calculator Pricing
There is no WPForms lifetime pricing. Renewals are more expensive

Lifetime pricing offers great value over the long term. Unfortunately, this not an option with WP Forms.

Also, the yearly subscription renews at twice as much. Check the small print!

We offer lifetime pricing for each plan, and when you renew your licence you pay the original price, not an inflated one. See our pricing.
