Overall Satisfaction with Gravity Forms

I used Gravity Forms to meet client goals on their websites.

Pros

  • Gravity Forms seems to do well with accurately sending form submissions to recipients.
  • Gravity Form's Drag & Drop builder is easy to use.

Cons

  • Their PayPal checkout does not work as described.
  • I recommended Gravity Forms to a client that accepts subscription payments online. After purchasing the plugin and the PayPal Checkout add-on, I spent hours and hours trying to get it to sync correctly with PayPal. It never did, so I ended up using PayPal's built-in buttons. Which defeated the whole purpose of purchasing Gravity Forms and the add-on. Gravity Form's support tried to help, but had no explanation as to why the PayPal checkout add-on wasn't working.
Because I lost hours of time (revenue) trying to figure out why their PayPal Checkout add-on wasn't sending the correct data to PayPal. Although I followed Gravity Forms documentation and also reached out to support.

Do you think Gravity Forms delivers good value for the price?

Gravity Forms is fine for general use such as a contact form. It is not suitable for using in conjunction with their PayPal Checkout add-on.
