Gravity Forms pricing, explained

Gravity Forms sells annual WordPress licenses, not monthly seats. The lever on your bill is how many sites you run and which add ons you need.

Gravity Forms is a WordPress plugin, so it prices differently from hosted form tools. You buy an annual license, install it on your own WordPress sites, and there are no per submission or per response caps. The three tiers differ on how many sites the license covers and which of the 30 plus official add ons you can use. Below are the plans as of June 2026, billed yearly, and what actually decides which one you need. Check the vendor for current pricing.

What moves the real bill

What actually moves the bill

Gravity Forms does not meter submissions, so volume is not the variable. These are the factors that decide your tier.

Number of sites. Basic covers one site, Pro up to three, Elite unlimited. Freelancers and agencies running client sites usually need Pro or Elite for this reason alone, not for features.
Which add ons you need. Payments, surveys, quizzes, user registration and advanced post creation live in Pro and Elite. If you only need a contact or lead form, Basic is enough.
Hosting is separate. The license is the only Gravity Forms cost, but you still pay for your own WordPress hosting. Factor that in when comparing against hosted tools that bundle hosting.
Renewals. Licenses renew yearly at the same price for continued updates and support. Letting a license lapse keeps the plugin running but stops updates, which matters for security.
