Pick FramerFormKit if
Pick FramerFormKit if you want the cheapest entry point ($69 vs $79), you need auto-save on long forms, you value the aggressive "Stop apologizing" brand voice, or you want a 14-day refund guarantee (we don't publicize ours). Their fast-ship roadmap (payments, calculations, quiz mode) may also close future gaps.
Pick Forms Plugin if
Pick Forms Plugin if you want AI form generation (unique), you need direct API CRM integrations (not webhooks), you require legally-solid e-signature, you need multiple CAPTCHA options, or you want the cheapest agency tier ($99 vs $132 for unlimited sites). Also pick us if you prefer team-built over founder-bound product continuity.
Common questions
How are the integration architectures different?
FormKit routes all integrations through webhooks (including HubSpot and Mailchimp), which works for basic field mapping but can limit advanced CRM workflows (tag management, list segmentation, custom property sync). Forms Plugin uses each CRM's direct API, so you get full platform capabilities like HubSpot workflow triggers and Mailchimp tag-based automations.
Does FormKit really have 40+ components?
Yes, but the 40+ is the Pro tier ceiling ($132). Premium ($69) gives you 36. Free gives you 9. Forms Plugin ships 30+ field types on both Pro and Scale tiers (every paid plan has full field access).
What about their 14-day refund?
FormKit advertises a 14-day money-back guarantee. Forms Plugin handles refunds case by case. If guarantee peace of mind matters, FormKit's public commitment is a plus. We're considering adding an explicit guarantee page.
