What ARForms is

ARForms is a WordPress form builder for creating website forms, available as self-hosted software and on the web. Its drag-and-drop editor includes inline editing and more than 33 customizable field types. Layouts can use up to six columns, or become wizard-style multistep forms. Conditional logic can show or hide fields after user interactions, while mathematical logic can calculate values such as payment costs. Forms can collect payments and files, and can be inserted into WordPress posts, pages, widgets, and menus with shortcodes. The product lists 24 native integrations, including Mailster, ActiveCampaign, AWeber, Zapier, Google Sheets, HubSpot, and Pabbly Connect. Payment add-ons include PayPal, Stripe, Authorize.net, Razorpay, PayFast, Mollie, and PagSeguro. Built-in invisible spam protection and a free Google reCAPTCHA add-on address spam controls. Entries can be filtered, exported, edited, or deleted. The maker highlights contact, subscription, feedback, RSVP, and job application templates, along with GDPR and CCPA compliance. ARForms Lite is free but restricts form submissions; ARForms Pro costs $39 a month and includes six months of support.
