About Formidable Form

A contact form is not interesting on its own. What a site does with the submissions is. Formidable Form belongs to the class of WordPress form plugins that store, query and re-display what visitors send, which puts it closer to a small database application than to a mail relay, and finding it on a page suggests somebody on the other side is doing something with the data rather than just reading an inbox.

Built by Strategy11 and distributed under GPL v2, the plugin has been part of the WordPress ecosystem since 2009, long enough that the sites carrying it span every era of that platform. Written in PHP, like everything running inside WordPress, it installs as an add-on rather than as a service, which means the site owner or their agency made an active choice to put it there and, in many cases, to pay for the tier that unlocks calculators, conditional logic, front-end views and payment fields.

As of September 2026 the plugin is detectable on 135,345 sites, of which 64,055 are in United States, with .com the domain suffix that recurs across most of them. English-language WordPress products with paid tiers tend to distribute this way, and the concentration is a reminder that the addressable audience for a commercial plugin is largely the same audience the wider WordPress economy already serves.

Two kinds of buyer want this list. Plugin vendors and agencies read it competitively, because a site paying for an advanced form builder is a site that already spends money on WordPress functionality, and a business that bought one paid extension will consider another. The lead-generation side reads it differently, as a marker of intent: a form builder that captures structured submissions and displays them back on the front end usually means registrations, quotes, bookings, directories or applications are running through the website, which describes a business that treats its site as an operational tool rather than as a leaflet.

The caveat is straightforward and it cuts one way. Detection depends on the plugin leaving a trace in a delivered page, which happens when a form is actually rendered on a public URL. Installations sitting behind a login, inside a members area, or on a landing page our crawl never reached are simply absent, so the population under-represents real usage. Nothing in the signal reveals which licence tier a site holds either.

A per-domain lookup will tell you whether one company you have in mind uses this plugin. Only the full export lets you filter the entire population by country, by suffix and by co-installed technology, which is what you need when the question is who to approach rather than what a single prospect happens to run.
