What is the best Wufoo Alternative?

Wufoo’s editor is a combination of standard drag and drop builder and text features. It’s a visual platform that requires little technical knowledge. Overall most users find it fairly intuitive and simple to use, though some complain that it can feel confusing at times.

In terms of Wufoo’s interface, things are a bit old-fashioned and it’s not optimised for modern devices (like smartphones and HD monitors) For example, the icons and menus are far too small on higher-resolution screens, to the point that they’re barely readable.

Many users find the field-adding feature a bit clunky too. Newly added fields get automatically pushed to the bottom of the page, which means you have to scroll down to find them. This quickly becomes frustrating, particularly with longer forms.

Rapidoform is very intuitive and simple to use, for both beginners and experienced users. Thanks to our free-text interface (a golden standard for modern web apps), creating forms and pages feels just like writing an online document.

In Rapidoform you don’t have to learn how to use the side-menus and memorise where each feature is located. With our handy contextual menus all you need to do is click on the “Configure” button next to any field to configure all the details individually.

Need to add content? You can add questions, visuals and page breaks anywhere on the page— and in any order. You can even speed up the process with Rapidoform’s powerful slash commands. Simply type “/ anywhere on the page and select the block that you’d like to insert. To make things as easy as possible, we even have “Quick Questions” with pre-configured details, among them the “Terms & Conditions” and “Name” fields.

At a glance Wufoo’s customisation seems okay. Users can choose from a variety of question fields (19 in total), change colours, add logos and adjust the typography. However in practise the customisation features are quite unintuitive.

To customise the themes and colours of forms you first need to design them in a separate ‘Theme Designer’ plugin. This is helpful if you want to apply the same styling to multiple forms, but slows the creation process down significantly if you just want to customise a single form.

Unfortunately, there’s also no simple way to add images and videos to forms. The only solution, which is less than ideal, is to add custom HTML code for every visual you want to insert. This is a tedious and time-consuming process.

There are a few other things to note too: Wufoo’s logo can only be removed or replaced if you are on the paid plan, and all Wufoo forms are static by default. There’s no way of switching to a “one question at a time” experience.

With Rapidoform you can customise your forms and landing pages down to the tiny details. Just head over to the ‘Theme’ menu and tweak away to your heart’s content—change colours, select new fonts and even switch up the look of UI elements like the navigation bar. You can even translate your form’s interface into multiple languages.

There’s no need for any messy HTML to add photos and videos to your forms either. Simply use a slash command and select “Image Upload” or “Video” fields from the list. Voilà!

And it doesn’t stop there. Rapidoform integrates with Unsplash and GIPHY, allowing you to search copyright-free images and GIFs from inside the app and insert them into your forms without leaving the page.

Along the way you might wonder what your form will look like. Rapidoform allows you to preview how all those new colours, fonts or UI elements will look at any time. No longer do you have to waste time switching between tabs to see how things change with every little modification.

Prefer to get your hands dirty with custom HTML & CSS? This is available for our tech savvy Rapidoform users on the Agency plan.

Choose from twenty question fields—including calculations, appointments and product fields that allow you to sell items straight from your form. Once you're done, you can choose whether to display all fields on the same page or activate our Guided Mode for an engaging one at a time experience. Guided forms are especially great for immersive surveys and quizzes

Wufoo maintains a help center where anyone can access answers to most common questions. For individual support or questions, you have to email Wufoo’s team.

Rapidoform has both video tutorials YouTube and a available on Youtube with detailed guides. We also provide live chat support, which means that every individual query receives a reply—often within minutes. Rapidoform has a help center and a set of educational videos on YouTube. We also provide live chat support, available to both existing users and anonymous visitors.

Wufoo provides a gallery of 400+ templates to choose from and customise. They’re a bit of a disappointment because they all look exactly the same in terms of design and content. They don’t actually help you in any tangible way to get a jump-start creating your online forms.

Rapidoform offers a library of 500+ templates. Each expert-designed template has a unique design and colour palette and follows each industry’s best practices. You can import any of those templates for free and start customising them in just one click.

Our templates are pre-filled with relevant questions too, so you can get ideas of what questions to ask.

Wufoo has a ‘Page Break’ feature that users can drag and drop anywhere within forms. Just keep in mind that every new page of the form needs to have its own unique title.

With Rapidoform creating multi-page forms is a breeze. All you need to do is select wherever you want to create a new page and click on the ‘Add break’ icon that appears.

To add conditional logic to your forms in Wufoo you’d need to use a separate ”Rule Builder” menu. It’s fairly straightforward and supports different types of logical statements. You can create up to 50 field rules, 50 rules that apply to pages, and 50 rules that govern the whole form.

Rapidoform offers full support for advanced question logic. No limitations. You can display or hide questions or entire pages based on predefined variables and AND/OR conditions. This empowers you to create dynamic forms that adapt based on the answers of your respondents.

Rather than redirect users to a separate menu, Rapidoform enables you to create conditions for individual questions or blocks using the “Configure” menu. This is located on the contextual pop up menu adjacent to each question—and is never more than a click away.

Wufoo supports simple success pages and redirects. Users can edit their ‘Confirmation Page’ content with the ‘Confirmation Options’ sidebar, or choose to redirect respondents to an external link instead.

There’s just one major downside: once again Wufoo’s customisation lets it down. The visual elements of success pages can’t be formatted easily. The only way you can customise it is to manually add your own HTML code.

Wufoo’s success pages can also be customised based on specific form submissions through the ‘Rule Builder’ mentioned earlier.

Rapidoform’s success pages are highly customisable and a breeze to set up. You can access all the relevant settings under the ‘Success Pages & Redirects’ menu. From there you can edit the page just as you would a doc—add links, edit text, insert images or embed your favourite GIFs.

Rapidoform users can also create multiple success pages and redirect respondents conditionally. This means that you can build forms that adjust based on particular answers and provide more personalised experiences for your visitors.
