What would you recommend?
Best forms plugin, free or with cheap lifetime option
Plugin RequestSame. Superb form processor.
My vote and I have lifetime
I just checked the price and quiet high for a lifetime plugin. Is it really worthy? I mean I bought lifetime premium theme(s) and plugins included for less than that.

My go to is Ninja Forms. Super easy to setup and customisable.
Ninja forms is my go to as well. The built in submission tracking is really helpful for clients who can't navigate their mail clients. haha
I used to always go ninja forms, however I recently had a fairly major issue with it on a client site where it was flooding the server with requests, their support was absolutely woeful and after that I’ve moved away. They never did find out what was causing the issue but my hosting provider confirmed it was Ninja Forms causing the issue.
Gravity and Formidable are great Wordpress alternatives, I can also recommend JotForm if you don’t mind an external builder platform + embedding
Gravity forms. SImple to complex forms with conditional fields, mail routing, Add ons forintegration with dozens of other platforms (Mailchimp, Saleforce, Hubspot, Stripe etc.). Highly customizable and just works well.
By far the best
Jetformbuilder is great if you also like using the other crocoblock plugins
Have you used their Mega Menu Plugin ? If so which version ? The Elementor or the Gutenberg version ?
Mailpoet
Kadence has an excellent forms component and a lifetime deal. I don’t need to use any extra forms plugin with it.
Free: Forminator
Paid: GravityForms
Gravity forms is very strong But I have found Formidable forms to be much more capable, it covers more use cases. The only thing is that it is so advanced, it will take you a while to understand all the options it has. Also, it integrates with so many other plugins.
Ninja form and wp forms
Fluent Forms
This can be option https://wordpress.org/plugins/arforms-form-builder/advanced/
contact form 7 (open source) and forminator
This one has a lifetime option and currently has a 50% discount promotion: https://allinoneforms.rednao.com/getit/
Gravity Forms is what has worked best for us. We manage multiple sites.
For simple contact forms we have tried Fillout forms you can do great things on the free plan.
Fluent forms is my goto plugin.
